Wonderful rooms we were on the 13th floor street view. Great size room I slept better here then I do at home. Well kept resort and friendly staff at all times. I loved the less crowded beach area in our location versus the busy Waikiki beach area which is a short drive away or you can take the trolley from here.
Please take advantage of the concierge service because they are so helpful and they will not pressure you into buying or doing anything that you don't want. Car rentals from them are also cheaper then reserving one on your own and the both times we used them we didn't need any advanced reservations we always received the flat rate of $33 a day from Alamo which is right across the street from the resort. Very easy to get around on the island but remember to take your navigation system with you for they charge a hefty fee to rent one. We didn't use the valet parking with the resort because it was too expensive instead return your car for the night and pick it up again the next morning "ask your concierge to book it separate days if you plan on doing that so that way you have your separate paperwork for pick up daily" or park next door above the Red Lobster for $7 per night or in the Marina parking area at $1 per hour if your just coming back to rest or change for the day.
Must drive to North Shore and eat at Fumis shrimp truck "fantastic farm raised jumbo shrimp fresh from the pond to your plate"
I was stood up by two companies while there: Discount Shuttle was suppose to pick us up to go to the swap meet market waited 45 minutes they never came and after I'd called 5 times to check on our pick up no one picked up the phone to assist me. They will advertise their services cheap in the brochures but they are not reliable. Also, I was stood up by Hawaii Tours bought a rainforest tour from them called the night before to confirm no answer was told by the agent two days before we left for our vacation that someone will pick us up at 7:45am from our resort we waited til 9am no one called and I'd called them 13 times and no one answered my call. Thank goodness I'd booked it through Groupon and explained what happen which groupon in turn issued me a refund right away. This company is also advertising in the coupon brochure so be careful when selecting a tour company. I've learned that it's not worth saving a few dollars go with a well known tour company. Check them out on google before booking.
I'd used Hawaii23 transportation for pick up and drop off at the airport $23 one way up to 4 ppl. This is a great company and they were always on time and friendly. Mark the owner will call you to confirm with you where his drivers are at all times.
