Everything here was wonderful! We were a little confused in finding the ocean tower but staff was very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this stay!
We had a great time and loved the room which was perfect for just 2 people. Resort amenities are outstanding.

Disliked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Parking is ridiculous, it's 1/2mile from parking lot to ocean tower. Charge is 48.00 per day plus tax(cost more to park than car rental) there's a tram system that's pitiful, quicker to walk the distance, runs on "Hawaiian" time This place is just a hotel room, nothing special. I'd give it a pass and I travel extensively. If stay here, expect to be digging into yours pockets a lot.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding parking and transportation within the property. We understand how this can impact convenience and overall experience, and we appreciate you sharing this perspective.
We also regret that the stay did not feel as special as you had hoped. While the resort does set its own parking fees and internal transportation system, we understand how these costs and logistics can affect guest satisfaction, and we will pass your comments along to the resort management team for review.
Thank you again for staying with us and for your honest feedback. We appreciate it and hope your future travels are more enjoyable.
This was the best part of our Hawaii trip. I wish we had stayed here the entire time. We actually enjoyed the fact that you will do a good bit of walking here. The tram is great (especially when hauling luggage), but, otherwise, we preferred to stroll the walkway, get some fresh air, and look at the art.
We enjoyed our room very much! It was newly renovated, so we ended up with a kitchenette! Listing says garden view, but we had a beautiful view that included the ocean! Felt like we were living in luxury with an affordable price. We hope to return someday!
Room was clean and nice, we got upgraded to a partial ocean view because they had an open room and it was very nice. We spent a lot of time just reading on the balcony. The facilities are well maintained, beautiful environment. My only thing I didn't like is it's hard to get around. Things are spread out-which helps it feel not crowded-but there is no good system to get around. They have a tram was extremely slow and not worth using. The parking is also a trek to get to and expensive. When we got in, it was midnight our time and we had been traveling for 18 hours. We then had to wait 20 minutes for the tram because there is only one. I would not recommend this resort for people that have difficulty getting around.
