Stayed with kids

Great beach for kids that love waves and boogie boards. Hotel itself is ok. Clean room (cleaning service only every other day). Parking is not great. Food is ok not great. Pool is nice. Hotel is near airport and Walmart. Would I stay again? Probably not but would go back for the waves? Because that was my kids favorite part of the vacation.

I love how everything was clean and pretty, my only complaint is that our shower got clogged and we had to pack all of our staff to be moved to another room, in which the people that helped us where amazing, but you know when you go vacay you don’t whant to be switching.

The only thing that was lacking (first world problem) was the gym.; oddly limited in machinery for working out. three to four people in that huge space and it becomes a struggle to get in the work outs/routine you'd like to do. It can be done but it's "not easy". Other than that, I give everything else two thumbs up. the onsite restaurant food and drinks were delicious, with healthy options. The location in the bay was wonderful and right close to outside chops and food. I would stay there again for sure.

The pool and beach are awesome with great views from the balcony. The places to eat are great and within walking distance. Be aware that there is a $45/day resort fee + $30/day self parking fee that is not included in your package, so plan on a bit more than what you initially paid.

In addition to the stay was $45/day resort fee, and $30/day parking fee. Hidden fees made this property more expensive than it was worth.

Beautiful resort with balcony view of the bay and ocean. Rooms were cleaned everyday. Food was delicious in all of the restaurants. Pool was fantastic, Beach area and view was phenomenal! The only thing I can say I was disappointed about was, my new wife and I didn't get a Lei when we arrived. Everything else was absolutely perfect. Great stay!

Hotel staff not the friendliest. Woman that took my call for a request was not hospitable and unhelpful. I Requested our two rooms to be close and they put us at opposite ends of the property. Grounds are beautiful. Rooms are tiny and very outdated.
