We love the Starwood selections of Hotels and have stayed at this Sheraton a few times now.
It is one of the few that have a large water slide and small slide plus a combination of pool and hot tub areas. The sports desk has a few toys to checkout including water volleyball equipment. There is tons of deck space and a few cabanas for rent. The pool wait staff is very nice, and the food choices were medium priced and really tasty. There is a kiddie area that is a 'sandy bottom pool' but more like pebble bottom- plus a small splash pad.
They had a few sand volleyball courts (but we were told they were more like liter boxes for the local cats) They seemed to have a lot of local residents practicing there when we stayed.
The hotel parking is outside and most times we got a great close spot. The rooms are really spread out so it was a hike for some of us to get from car to room. The room numbers and wings were really confusing to us.
The rooms are nice - all of them had their own Lanai's (aka:Hawaiian balcony) and flat screen TVs with free bottled water and small fridge. The bathtub could use an update or replacement. We did find a small cockroach in our room and tiny gecko on the lanai (but we had lived in Hawaii for a few years before.... and we came to the realization there is no amount of pesticides in the world that can let you escape that).
Prices are reasonable and location is ok - kind of out of the way but not too bad. We traveled with a large group of kids of all ages and they loved the pools. Valet staff was nice, always got our doors if we were dropping off people. They have a kids club room - but we never had time to use it.
We only stay here a few days before or after our Waikoloa house or condo rentals begin - and it always fits our needs and makes up keep coming back! Alooooha
