Only downsides are you can't swim right off of propert in ocean and you must pay for parking. Otherwise rooms are clean and comfy. Not luxary but nice. Great lanai's that are huge and awesome views and sound of ocean. If you happen to be located seminear delivery area, you will hear them startingabout 630AM Hawaiin time. If you are mainlander it isn't that bad because you're used

Room was clean and comfortable. Lanai was nice with constant sound of ocean waves in background. Pool was nice. Easy walk to restaurants and shopping along the strip. The resort itself is nice but could use some updating and renovations.

Property staff were polite and helpful. The hotel has a ton of potential, but really needs some updating for the price guests pay. We stayed in the tower on the northern side of the property and it was SO loud late into the night with music and karaoke. Loud enough that it really should be mentioned in the description before reserving a room.

The location is wonderful and the property is beautiful though the rooms are a little dated. I’m fine with that, but would like to see the restaurant staff step up their game. The food was delicious but poor management made the experience less enjoyable than it should have been. Overall, would highly recommend.
