Perfect getaway!We loved our stay in Diana’s condo The unit was super clean and comfortable The beds made you feel like we were at home! The views off the balcony were beautiful and relaxing

The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the large cooler was perfect for carrying our stuff down to the BBQ grills I loved the kitchen appliances too The condo has a bunch of beach toys and beach chairs and beach towels! The games and videos in the cabinet by the tv were a nice touch too, for when we wanted some down time in the condo Parking was a breeze and quick and easy to get to I would love to rent this condo out again and again whenever we have time off Diana was always quick to reply to any of my questions I had throughout the booking process She even suggested snorkeling spots, grocery stores and was always so helpful

Landree Tullis

Diana’s condo is beautiful!! She met us at the front desk and made sure we we were all checked in She showed us where everything was and she is so friendly and helpful! The condo is beautifully decorated and has EVERYTHING you need and was super clean! The deck and the view of the lagoon and the sunsets are unbelievable! The complex is fabulous and the lagoons are amazing Ko Olina is a great place to stay! I hope we get to come back, and when we do, we will definitely make our reservation with Diana!

Miko Akamashi

Beautiful Location!We spent 7 nights at the condo traveling from Japan on first vacation rental adventure and were very happy with our stay! The condo is amazing – plenty of space of family of 4 There is a Target & groceries less than a 10 minute drive The lagoon is great for swimming and snorkeling especially kids & never busy

We went to Disney Aulani next door and enjoyed without having to pay high prices We really appreciated all of the beach accessories Diana provided to the condo, including snorkels coolers and beach bags My husband & I enjoyed a few evenings down at the bar and live music one night

This place was amazing! There was a beautiful view and back porch My family purchased a 2 bedroom room, which was plenty of space for the four of us The smaller bedroom has two twin beds that could be split or merged perfect for the kids

The customer service was great and there was even a greeter to help us navigate the island and our rooms

Whitney Hicks

Our room was gorgeous Ground floor 2 bedroom We sat out onto our beautifully decorated lanais every morning for breakfast

Kids could play in the pools while we watched from the lanais And just a few short steps to the right was the beach The lagoon is perfect for kids Entirely protected waters with sea turtles!!The staff at Ko Olina is amazing And the villas are 5-10 minute walk (along the ocean) to fantastic restaurants and shops and ABC grocery storeIf you are looking for an elegant and kid friendly vacation- Ko Olina is perfect

Dave

We stayed a week at the Ko Olina Beach Villas in a beach tower condo on the seventh floor We loved the property! This property seems like it is more relaxed and quiet than the Marriott or the Disney Aulani next door The lagoon at this property was not very crowded compared to the others

Beautiful sunsets right out in front of the resort made for amazing evenings! The staff was courteous and easy to get a hold of I highly recommend this property if you are looking for a ocean front area on Oahu

This particular location is awesome They make you as a gust feel so welcomed This is my second time staying here and it’s perfect

The team members are the best The front desk employees night and day are the best They go above and beyond and that is true customer service Even though some were training, they were a team and they help each other out I had an issue with my cellphone and had to get a replacement shipped out to me That front desk kept an eye out for my package and call me the second it came in I appreciated that little kindness so much Thank you, thank you The hotel is so clean and I am a germaphobe The housekeeping sprays and disinfects the room before going in to clean The cleaning is impeccable 👌 I will be back

Lianne Buenafe

I honestly want to rate Hampton Inn & Suites Kapolei a five star, but I will make it 4/5 I will mention the downside first First, there was no microwave

I would recommend having microwave in all rooms I believe all the guests needs microwave to heat up their food Lastly, the ac Guests should be able to control the temperature in their rooms Me and my family were freezing due to how cold the room was and all we can do was wear jackets, hoodies or sweatshirts, and socksThe good side however is they have free breakfast every day, they can provide us toothbrush, toothpaste, etc (if we need one), get mini fridge, friendly & helpful staff, a swimming pool (already have clean towels for guests to ready to use outside), laundry room, a gym, and a beautiful lounge to stay at I also like how their water dispenser has that footstep to get water instead of using our fingers to pressSo overall, this still a good place to stay at It is a friendly and safe environment 🙂

Lavinia Morrison

I cannot say enough good things about this place! All of the staff are polite, friendly and professional This place is immaculateThe breakfast buffet is great

There is something for everyone The kitchen staff work tirelessly keeping the place clean and the food and beverages replenished There is a fitness center, pool and laundry room on the first door The decor is modern with very clean linesRight outside, in walking distance are a plethora of restaurants and shops!I highly recommend this hotel! ❤❤❤❤

ashley stidham

Spent a week with my kids at this resort and i honestly don’t have a bad thing to say about it From our arrival, the customer was some of the best i have ever experienced It is a beautiful resort that is super kid friendly

Multiple pools for the kids to enjoy and a reflection pool for the grown ups The lagoon beach out front was perfect for laying out, building sand castles, and just relaxing in the water There were different activities to keep everyone entertained including an outdoor movie night My only real issue with this resort is that it’s on Oahu, so any time you venture off property there is horrible trafficI would highly recommend this resort!

Karen Scott

The resort is beautiful and well kept Our villa is spacious and has plenty of space for the 7 people Even the pull out beds are comfortable

The kitchens are equipped with more than enough tools to cook a full meal or a simple snack The view from the balcony is gorgeousThere are a ton of activities daily for kids and adults The restaurants are good and the food is delicious and comes out piping hotThe beach is gorgeous and because it’s in a cove there are little to no waves and very calm You can float in a tube and fall asleep it’s so calmThe pools are refreshing and offer something for everyone A quiet pool (reflection), a toddler/volleyball pool with a beach sand entry, and another pool with varying levels that has a waterfall, cave and separate slideThe ocean is clear, you can see straight to the bottom There are fish everywhere as well It’s amazing!Fabulous resort and worth the trip!

Great place for a vacation stay! It’s near right on the beach and has multiple pools for all ages (lazy river, slides, infinity pool, +18 area, man-made reef for snorkeling) They have rentals for some equipment like paddle boarding The resort snorkeling also costs money, but the other areas are free!The inside is very nice

You didn’t have to walk too far for elevators and parking was pretty easy We had a suite and studio rooms, both were nice The suite had a kitchen area with utensils, plates, and glassware It also had a laundry machines in the room, a big plus of us! Any time we asked for blankets or towels, the service was fast The view from the top floors is amazing! Definitely a resort feel and very kid friendly!

Tricia Pearl

I’ve stayed here twice as a “local” to this island, each time in a standard room, once with partial ocean, another with garden view Without a doubt the reason I’m willing to pay Disney prices to stay here has nothing to do with Mickey and Minnie I stay here for the undeniable TOP LEVEL safety at the pools

As a mom who comes here with my child alone, I will pay good money for that level of lifeguard coverage since it’s impossible to have eyes on your child at all times in a property this large with slides and a lazy river Poolside food service is also invaluable for a similar reason No shuffling to a cafe to get lunch while risking losing your chairs A cast member will bring the food right to your lounge area Unfortunately, the beds in the room are not comfortable- in my opinion It’s a firm mattress on a wood platform with only sheets on top to keep you warm The first time we stayed for 3 nights I was cold and uncomfortable and slept terribly I plan on only staying one night going forward I do not see the value in losing sleep when I have the option of sleeping in my own amazing bed

Claire Doak

Beautiful resort! The staff are all so kind, lovely, and personable They really make you feel like you’re home Everything is clean and orderly

The food is fantastic! The pools, hot tubs, and beach are so fun and relaxing The location is perfect, just far enough away from Waikiki that its quiet and calm, but close enough to the activity Clearly there are hints of Disney throughout, since it is a Disney resort, but its actually quite tasteful My whole family can’t wait to go back!

This review is for Katey I feel very fortunate that she picked up the phone when I called them, since they are technically closed and only sell in the farmer’s market on Saturdays She invited me over to the farm and helped me pick out so much amazing produce

She was kind and patient and walked me through all of their stock in all their fridges and offered useful tips and suggestions about fruits/veges I was unfamiliar with I can’t thank her enough cuz everything she suggested tastes amazing and fresh The farm itself is beautiful and everyone I met there were wonderful!

Jo A

Very friendly staff I really enjoyed the variety of creative dishes The veteran options were great

I loved that we could bring our dog while we are in the outdoors We went at night so we got to appreciate the beautiful outdoor seating Surprisingly, there were no bugs bothering us and the string lights were perfect: strong enough so you can see clearly, but soft enough for enjoyable mood lighting They play music inside pretty loud so that it can be heard from outside I look forward to going back! It’s a bit away from the main road and if you drive out at night, the drive may feel a little sketchy Once you get there, it’s definitely worth it

An absolutely wonderful experience all the way around Staying in this incredibly peaceful place was ideal for us It’s a very simple, humble, no frills as far as the nightly stay but they offer a fantastic experience of starry skies, working farm housing interactive, welcoming, and muddied barefooted farmers with smiles and conversations

Chickens clucking their way around the pen with offerings of early morning wake up calls Open land of overgrown grasses and patches of gardens growing veggies outskirts the mountainous view For those willing to forgo any extra comforts and take on a more relaxed (and while not, it may be for some, rugged) experience, this is a must! It’s a shared space, as it is a retreat house and expect to leave your shoes at the door as is Hawaii custom The cafe doesn’t disappoint either The chefs spread is abundant and beautiful sharing the farms own organic produce It was the best food we tasted in the island and looked forward to the next meal

Staff is all top notchOnly stayed here because it was close to work location so not crazy about the location, but it’s a great hotel

Shawna Peters

The space was amazing It seems like everything is new And there is a fresh smell to the hotel

So I really appreciate the fact that the place is clean and newer Not to mention the rooms with kitchen living room bedroom and bathroom It gives more of a home feel to it The staff was really good they were very welcoming and professional I am very grateful for that The managers were very helpful and knowledgeable This is a great place to stay and the location is great as well Thanks!

Sue Smith

A great hotel experience I stayed at Residence Inn for 9 nights, so really had a chance to see it in operation Every single member of the staff — front desk, breakfast service, housekeeping staff, groundskeepers — were helpful, professional and so friendly

And the place is immaculate Self parking is great; proximity to the highway makes getting around Oahu easy I will stay here again

Beautiful resort! There is nowhere else on the island I would stay The hospitality is unmatched anywhere you go in the resort and housekeeping is stellar The spa is expansive with all the amenities you could ask for and the prenatal massage I received was top notch

The adult infinity pool was our go to hang out spot and is absolute paradise The beach area is pristine and wasn’t crowded the entire week we were there, and was far less busy than the Disney area We couldn’t have asked for a better stayWe planned our trip here for a baby-moon and we were greeted with congratulations, chocolate covered strawberries, sparkling water, and even a body pillow for me to get better sleepThank you for such a lovely stay, Four Seasons Oahu!

Ryan Lanzendorf

We absolutely loved our stay here We came during a busy time of the year — spring break, spending majority of our time at the adult pool (18+ yo) The thing I’ll remember most about our stay was how friendly the ENTIRE staff was from valet, to the front desk, to all the servers at the pools, even the folks at the spa and for the hotel activities

The poolside drinks and food exceeded my expectations I’m fact, we ate at Noe and Mina’s and would have rather ate by the pool instead We also did the stand up paddle board in the lagoon and the sail + scuba and just loved it — highly recommend the sail + scuba We overheard a family from the Disney resort say the four seasons was not a family friendly resort and I beg to differ Although we didn’t have kids with us, we saw a lot of other families with kids and they appeared to be having a wonderful timeOh, and if you get a massage, get the warrior massage and try to book with Bronson I had an incredible experience and would definitely see him again – his hands are magical

AN ISLAND ON AN ISLANDWe arrived on Friday and plan to leave on Monday We’ve stayed at Four Seasons on three of three islands, and this one was no different as far as delivery is concernedWe’ve had a wonderful time!From checking in and getting our leis, to asking the concierge to help us make dinner and massage reservations, everything has been easy, engaging, and inviting

We definitely feel pamperedWe also ate at Mina’s Fish House last night and plan on eating at Noe (Italian) this evening [my birthday] [[SUPERBOWL!!!]]There are many photograph moments, but the best part of the stay has been our room upgrades, which gave us an ocean view, and having Japanese breakfast on the balcony before sunrise (thank you room service! Especially Sarah, who ensured me “We can absolutely do Japanese breakfast at 6am”We also used the gym and the adult pool I’ll be honest, I haven’t left the pool (again, it’s my birthday so I’m allowed)We are so appreciative of the staff and look forward to returning again real soon

Great hotel in an excellent location (Kapolei), about 20-25 min west of Honolulu Lots and lots of places to eat and shop within a few a minutes of the hotel and easy access to the H-1 highwayThe staff was extremely friendly and the hotel was clean and well-maintained

The breakfast is excellent with a wide variety of items including fresh omelettes The fitness center is quite nice as well The beds were comfortable and housekeeping services were well-organized (need to request housekeeping the day before) Would definitely recommend staying here and would come back for sure in the future!

Hilton Honors member here Stayed here for 9 days and had a great experience The management and staff worked hard to make things right while we stayed there

The AC in our room broke down; we were moved to another room The staff was very friendly! The free breakfast was our favorite The suites are perfect for families! Will def stay again here

Wynona Adams

All the staff are great but watch out for the hostesses for breakfast! If you and your family are local, they will stare at you like you don’t belong there! Even if you check in with one of them and go back to get ANYTHING after you went up once they will stare at you harder!!! The other one will literally run after you like you personally stole something from her even if you already told them how many was in your party Front desk was amazing But bad experience with the breakfast hostesses

Wish I could give a higher rating for the service we got from the other people that work there
