The hotel was in a great location

walking distance from shops, restaurants, & the beach The front desk staff was very accommodating to us as we were a family group of 14 They gave us a free cot for 2 different rooms The rooms were large enough for each group The breakfast didn’t have a lot in the way of variety but it was enough for us The lobby area was great for our group for the evenings when we liked to play cards The rooms were cleaned nicely each day after our activities One night there as a lot of noise from the street until like 3am but certainly not the fault of the hotel The guy getting chair’s/luggage was kind of grouchy but I attributed that to the fact that he was always working–day & night with no day off that I noticed throughout our 8 day stay We thanked him for all he did putting up with us & tipped him our last day He did apologize although no apology was necessary If you’re on a budget & want a nice enough place to stay with free breakfast & close proximity to places I recommend it

Nabil Nahhas

This is a very nicely located hotel in the middle of everything you need The accommodations are very good, a little above the 3 star rating they have Everyone is friendly and the continental breakfast is also very good

After a fun filled day, I would enjoy sitting by the pond and relaxing with my wife before we went back upstairs to our room I highly recommend it

Rochelle Sides

NOT AS DESCRIBEDI am not one to write a review but this place was so bad that I felt compelled to warn other travelers There are many places to stay in Honolulu, don’t choose this one Not as advertised

The pictures must be from 20 years ago We arrived in Honolulu at 11:30 pm, was told their parking lot was full and there was no street parking The hotel clerk gave us directions to a public lot which he said was a 5 minute walk away and they would validate the parking I asked him if it was safe to walk that distance at night and he said just be aware of your surroundings The parking garage was a 10 minute walk at best but because we found ourselves in the company of multiple people that appeared to be very intoxicated and several looked to be living on the streets, the 10 minute midnight walk felt like an eternity When we finally arrived to our room, it was dated, dirty, the sliding glass door wouldn’t lock and the air conditioner over our bed could not be turned down Just below our room on the street, people were partying until after 3:00 in the morning When we picked up our car the next day from the parking garage, we were charged an additional $2000 with the validation We were very disappointed in this property and if you are considering staying therecontinue your search

Overall, the stay at this hotel wasn’t bad The standard room was smaller than expected If you don’t get a room that faces the pool/beach your balcony will be very small

The staff did their best to resolve issues as fast as possible and were very friendly Amazing view of the beach, which is across the street In walking distance to restaurants, and shopping I liked that they held your bags for you if you had a late flight after check out I wish the check out time was a little bit lately due to Hawaii being on a different time zone I didn’t like that if you didn’t have a suite that you had to rent a microwave from them (daily fee) The hotel does not provide breakfast Also, if you rent a vehicle you will have to pay for daily valet parking Shuttles are not provided for this location so you have to make your own arrangements to get to and from the airport or other outings/tours I would suggest that the hotel upgrade their elevator control for only the hotel guest to have access to the rooms

Erin Miller

Just what we were expecting Great location right across the street from the beach Beautiful views of Diamond Head and the ocean

Highly recommend the ocean front view It’s on the less busy area of Waikiki but was still pretty busy You could hear street noise from the lanai, but I think that no matter where you stay, that will happen It was quieter then further north which seemed to be more of a Las Vegas atmosphere If you prefer less commotion, Park Shore is perfect The hotel itself was very nice and clean We were offered cleaning services everyday The ABC store in the hotel was very convenient and had everything you could possibly need The front desk staff and bell service were very friendly and on point I would definitely stay here again

Christina R

I stayed at the Park Shore Waikiki for 3 nights in late March 2022 Staff were very friendly and helpful Location was great, directly across the road from Waikiki beach and the view from my room overlooking Diamond Head was amazing, however, I would not recommend staying at this hotel

The air-conditioning in my room was incredibly noisy The walls were very thin – I could hear everything going on in the rooms surrounding mine Styrofoam cups were provided for coffee but no glasses or cutlery were provided (this would have been an added convenience) The room wasn’t very clean either There were cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling and hair in the shower The worst thing though was that the water in my shower would not heat up so I ended up having 3 cold showers for my three nights at this hotel! I reported it to the front desk and maintenance was sent to my room I was told by maintenance that I would have to let the water run for about 3-5 minutes before it warmed up The next morning I let the water run for 15 minutes and it never warmed up This was very disappointing I really wanted to like this hotel It was very convenient for a quick stopover in Hawaii and the views were amazing, however it was let down by poor maintenance and poor cleanliness

JC Holcomb

The rooms are so so They don’t do room cleaning unless you pay for it, however you can exchange towels and such at the front desk The staff is great and very helpful

The location is at the far end of Waikiki, really good for families (proximity to zoo/beach/aquarium) If you’re looking for night life, most of it will be a half mile walk, doable but there are better places to stay for that The assigned parking is nice if want to pay for it

German R (Elegate)

To Roxy thank you very much for your hospitality and for going above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable one The location is great I liked it The prices are pretty competitive and parking is not too bad

Word of advice if you have a rental please call the hotel in advance so they can reserve a spot for you On the second floor they have a bar, Hula’s Bar & Lei Stand, which does gives a nice view of the Diamond Head The next time I go to Honolulu the Waikiki Grand Hotel is most definitely the first spot I’ll check out

Ying Li

My conclusion on this place: 1) You got what you paid for 2) I would not recommend this place 3) Location was the only good thing

Reasoning: 1) the whole shower set broke, cant shower at all Front desk personnel was not willing to change room (allow me to go to another room to shower) until the Wi-Fi was not working in that room 2) front desk personnel seems busy all the time, no patient with attitude Made a big deal of getting a blanket and bringing back a blanket

Jenny Shelley

We stayed on the 7th floor with an ocean view room – decent view of the ocean, but you’re also looking straight down at neighboring hotel’s pool and roof top bar Hotel is situated right off of the main road, but was very noisy at night We had to sleep with ear plugs in and a sound machine going

I didn’t catch his name, but the young guy who checked us in and took care of us the majority of our stay was so nice and accommodating He even brought a hair dryer up to our room after we discovered our room was missing one He was awesome – thank you! The hotel parking is tight and limited and at an additional cost of $35/night Room was clean and bed was comfortable Quick access to main road and beach by foot Likely wouldn’t return here because we prefer somewhere more quiet and secluded than being down in the hub of it all

Alanieta Waqanicagica

If you’re looking for a place to stay in Waikiki – this is the best place! Not too pricey, hotels are clean, beach is a mere 2 min walk away The bus stop is also 2 min walk away, an ABC convenience stop is by it, if you’re heading out for Luau, tour etc the pickup spot is close tooThey don’t offer breakfast but many breakfast spots are close, rooms are serviced daily and the hotel staff are very friendly

If you can get a room with a balcony – it’s got some of the best views!

james olver

You couldn’t ask for a better location, great view, extremely convenient to the beach and tons of great food Staff was very friendly at all times and they offer a lot of extras for beach fun It was a little wonky finding with a car at first, but once we got the hang of it, easy peasy

Scout ahead on street view and you’ll avoid a lap around the block

Location was so convenient! 1 minute walk to shops, restaurants, and shaved ice and 3 minute walk to the beach Complementary breakfast was excellent and so much more than most hotels offer Made to order omelette bar was a nice perk

Go before 8am and it won’t be busy at all Valet parking was an added expense but honestly so nice! Service was quick and it was great to just take the elevator down and have your car pulled up right there Pool area is perfect for kids! Deepest part is only 4 feet with a tanning ledge and toddler area so all of my kids could swim safely Pool area is really cool especially at night with all the lights and tiki torches plus tons of seating It was nice to have the bars near the pool so I could enjoy a drink while watching my kids swim Every employee we encountered was extremely kind and helpful Would highly recommend especially for families

Tara Bohle

The hotel is awesome The location is perfect! A block away from the beach, just downstairs there’s nice shops to look at and good restaurants You would be happy staying here and experiencing the pool and other things they offer

Breakfast is huge and plentiful, large selection that changes day to day from fried rice, taquitos, omelets, scrambled eggs, granola, yogurt, fruit, bacon, sausage, french toast, pancakes and way way more! Food is great at night there’s free drinks and chips which is nice, heated pool is perfect temp morning or night Also a hot tub and kids pool is nice Pool guy super helpful, same with bell desk, they have cabs and limos (same cost) waiting in the lobby couldn’t have been better!

Britni Nic

We first arrived and the staff was really helpful and attentive Our rooms were clean and really spacious The breakfast bar was amazing!! The pool was clean and had a pool attendant at all times

Walking distance to shopping food activities and the beach Probably my best experience staying in a hotel at the beach Again, the hospitality we felt from the staff deserves the 5 stars 🙂

Terrible experience The hotel is very old and needs a renovation We couldn’t use the AC because it stinks

We took the filters out and they wasn’t cleaned for at least a few years, and it helped a little bit No windows so we basically had no air The last night at 4am our room filled with smoke and strong smell of something being burned, we were it’s fire but no fire alarm was on The smell and smoke was strong so we couldn’t be in the room since 4am We had to check out and move outThe room was also very dirty and full of previous guests hairThe area around is full of homeless people but it’s a downtown so it’s kinda as it should be in AmericaVery bad experience with this placeThe stuff was very helpful and nice tho That’s the only good thing about this hotel – the stuff

pafadul

Stayed here last week with my wife and chose this hotel because it was closer to the capitol and the palace In theory it sounded good but was a big mistake The area around the hotel (and I understand that this is out of their control) was not tourist friendly

Lots of homeless wandering around, people sleeping on sidewalks, abandoned looking buildings (the longs drugs at the bottom of the hotel was shuttered), and generally did not look safe The hotel itself does not have a restaurant or room service, so you will be forced to look around the hotel, which is fine unless you want to eat after 3pm (most of the restaurants close after this time) Now for the hotel itself The staff was friendly and tried to be helpful, but they could only do so much There is no fitness center at this hotel (a first for us since even the holiday inn has a basic setup) but they can sell you a one use pass for the 24 hour fitness nearby for $12 The view in the room was great, but the room itself was dated No comforter on the bed, and room service only comes by after 4 days of your stay You can request housekeeping or more towels, but we never actually tried this The tub had jets but as others had mentioned, the nozzles were black and quite dirty In our room the caulking at the base of the tub was not present, leaving a nice gap between the tile and the tub that looked unsettling when walking around with bare feet The carpet was well worn and the wallpaper was peeling in several places The a/c diffuser was placed on top of the door to the bedroom and ended up blowing directly on us as we tried to sleep, which was annoying It was nice that the rooms have a kitchenette with utensils, mugs, etc That actually came in handy a couple of times We did like the fact that there was a small table in the bedroom as well as the kitchen area and a loveseat as well Lots of room, but everything was just so old and worn down Overall, i think the hotel could be great if they just renovated the rooms I feel like this would have been an awesome hotel like 30 years ago

Stephanie Chase

Spacious room with a full small kitchen, a bathroom with a large tub and a washer/dryer, and a large bedroom with a view The neighborhood around the hotel has many AMAZING restaurants, and it is very easy to access Ala Moana and Waikiki beaches (in fact, much of Honolulu) via the multiple bus lines that come right by the hotel Keep in mind you are in downtown Honolulu, and not the tourist-filled streets of Waikiki

Jon Brellenthin

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Marine Surf Waikiki It was the perfect size for our family of four for our one week stay We really enjoyed the location

It was about a 5 minute walk to Waikiki beach and just minutes from several different places to eat The free parking was an incredible plus in a place where parking can be difficult to find In addition to the kitchenette, we enjoyed the extra perks of having beach towels, beach chairs, and a boogie board If we didn’t feel like going to the beach, the pool was a nice option The kitchen was nicely stocked with the necessities to prepare meals in the room if you don’t feel like going out Although it is right in the city on a busy street, we couldn’t hear any noise inside our room The check in and out process was simple Our flight was delayed 6 hours and we still got in with no problems My texts were responded to in a very timely manner The ONLY issue we had was the shower was not as warm as we would like at times

David Heath

This place was AMAZING! 10 min walk to Waikiki beach and a steal of a deal! Immaculately clean and they thought of everything! Check-in/check-out instructions were crystal clear and easy to follow Niko was great to work with and put finishing touches on the place that gave it a personal feel Absolutely perfect

I would happily come back here and recommend it to my loved ones!

We are enjoying our room with partial ocean view They do not clean your room unless requested 24-hour prior notice and you pick the time they can clean When you need more towels, shampoo, conditioner, or coffee you just go ask the front desk and they give you more

Beach towels are included upon request, just make sure you let them know when you are returning them because they are checked out with your room number, There is a basket you drop them in when entering the lobby They a very big nice towels Very happy with are comfortable soft bed The stove top is a plug in the wall kind it’s not like the picture on the counter top Overall we are happy and thankful we choose this hotel

Shawn Corkum

Overall we had a good experience here I think the company had this listed as a 4 star, which it certainly is not 3

5 at best That being said, the room was clean and very spacious We had a one bedroom with a kitchenette AC was in the living room, and it was a bit challenging to keep the bedroom as cool as we would have liked but there was a ceiling fan Not a huge deal It was very nice to have a kitchenette The hotel needs some Renos, the hallways are very worn But, we paid far less for our stay here than other hotels, so overall were satisfied The service was excellent, especially the lady at the front desk (sadly I cannot remember her name) Nice to be able to use the towels as well If you can get past the wear and tear, it’s a good hotel in a great location (really short walk to the beach)

Roger Hollingshead

The hotel location is everything! 2 blocks to the beach and the best poke place in waikiki right across the street! You don’t need a car here unless you are going to explore the whole island We had a car and the parking was a good price for the areaThe pool has an amazing view and was empty most the time

The rooms are decorated a bit old style but clean

Check in was easy The hotel is CLEAN No foul smells, it actually has a fresh smell to it

Beds are comfortable Housekeeping daily was greatly appreciated The only thing is parking You may or may not get a spot Other than that I’m enjoying my stay Side note even though parking isn’t the best, the location of the hotel is walking distance to food the beach and entertainment I’d definitely stay here again

fritz schacht

The single room I had was very small Not enough room for me to open up my luggage comfortably Pulling my luggage over the bed to get to the other side

My room was very clean I only needed to stay overnight, so I managed My colleague’s fortunately had larger rooms I definitely would stay at the Ala Moana hotel againI recommend the Steak restaurant on the 32 floor Fine dinning , great service, fabulous food

Tina Jentilet

We had a lovely conference Facilities were good, but I was freezing Check out the hand made origami peacock centerpiece

The vegetarian lunch was superb My room was good, but not much of a view I didn’t expect to have someone come in to make my bed or empty the trash (not usual protocol since COVID) so unfortunately some pens and business cards got thrown out It was nice to come back after a long day to have a nicely made bed

We loved our stay at the Imperial Hawaiian! The staff were amazing from the moment we arrived We utilized the valet service which was excellent They had fresh towels for us when we needed them, a pool, sauna, and two outdoor hot tubs

The view of the sunset from the top floor was amazing We were within walking distance to almost everything in Waikiki, which was super nice since parking can be an issue at times Overall, our stay was great and we would definitely come back!

Todd Sivertsen

I’m not one to give reviews regularly; I hope this review helps We booked this hotel (2 adults, 2 children (14 and 18) I was nervous because the amenities and the price didn’t line up

We arrived and were not disappointed at all The room had 2 bedrooms with a pull-out bed Each kid got their own bed The staff was excellent The hotel has an ABC convenience store attached ABC has everything you would need (food, alcohol, coffee, Coke fountain machine, coffee and memorabilia)The room itself was nice although a little outdated but still nice (especially for the price) The location is great Walking distance (4 minutes) to the beach Restaurants and stores are literally next doorI highly recommend this resort

Alize Magyar

Staff was wonderful, kind, and incredibly helpful Rented some chairs for the beach at a bargain The rooms were spacious and very clean

My only complaints about the room was my pillows were a bit lumpy and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable Too firm for my liking The view from the owners lounge was spectacular and worth being an owner just for that Would definitely return to this resort next time in Waikiki if it’s available for my timeshare

Good customer service Would have been nice to have some sort of special treatment for my wedding (card, champagne, or free breakfast voucher

) but still had a good time We were there for over a week with multiple rooms in our group We unfortunately didn’t qualify for a discount, but I get it Water pressure was the only real issue Nice hotel and staff was professional and courteous Very convenient to have a restaurant and gift/convenient store on property Surprised they didn’t offer room service Excellent location

Close enough to everything Waikiki, good location The international marketplace is right across the street for good food and shopping The beach is a 10 minute walk away

All staff we’ve encountered have been very friendly and actually seem like they’re having a good time We kept passing this one bellman (I think?) near the elevators who was always smiling or loudly singing along with the music playing from the speakers We had little interaction with him, but he had such a fun, positive energy The rooms and entire hotel are nice and cleanThe price is good for Waikiki, but be aware that the pool is tiny and filled with shouting kids, the fitness center smells AWFUL (like, truly bad We opened the door, got our faces assaulted with the punch of maybe 30 years worth of stale sweat, and immediately closed the door without entering God awful), the view from the balcony is into other rooms and balconies and alley, and there’s no hot tub I don’t really care about pool or balcony views since there’s so much off property to do, but a 9 pm hot tub soak would have been so niceAll in all, if you only have a few nights and don’t care about being right on the beach, this is a great choice for accommodation

coffee maker did not have pods for first breakfast Machine broke for last two breakfasts We had booked both units months ago for our family, one was double booked so we were very disappointed to stay apart the first two nights

We were given what I would consider a small discount for the inconvenience Everyone gets a papaya, that was delicious The rooms are clean and adequate There is plenty of beach equipment which we used

We had another great stay at The PP Bob and Jeanette are wonderful and made our trip a fulfilling experience We actually spent more time with them this year because we didn’t do a lot of tourist things

We used the pool and enjoyed the mountain views The room was very clean and airy and Kailua Beach is minutes away It really was a restful vacationSee you next year!

My husband was working on MCBH for a month so i flew out for a week We spent the week here at this beautiful B&B Bob and Jeanette are very pleasant hosts and made us feel right at Home

The room was very clean and the water pressure was excellent for those after beach showers! We enjoyed the pool and also the Lanai The back yard is peaceful and great for enjoying the sun and reading a pool before taking a dip in the pool Next time we come to Hawaii we will definitely be back to Papaya Paradise 😊

Best hotel experience we have had since pandemic Housekeeping is great, same time, very clean and always clean towels Everyone who works there is super helpful

The vallet is busy but super convenient right at bottom of escalator Busy area but super safe and next to really fun places! Love getting free sparkling water every morning!

Ashley Rowland

Such an amazing place! 6 of us travelled here 4 adults and 2 children and had 2 King size rooms The hotel is clean and everyone is so friendly The kids loved the pool (of course) and the shaved ice every day was amazing

Everything about our experience was fantastic The food and coffee at the hideaway restaurant was phenomenal Plus kids crafts every day and live music weekend evenings! I would absolutely travel here again and I am recommending this place to all of my friends Thank you for a great stay!

Wesley Chang

We have visited Hawaii twice and stayed at The Laylow both times The hotel has maintained its high standard during the pandemic and keeps the rooms extra clean The location is simply unbeatable

You are a block away from the beach, shopping and restaurants but still get to enjoy the quietness in the evening The only caveat is that parking is valet only and costs $49/night We are very happy with our stay and would recommend it to anyone!

I fly to Hawaii every year for my birthday, and this was one of my favorite stays! The best part of this hotel is the pool area The bartenders and servers are so much fun and so polite! They made my birthday trip here amazing, I truly do miss them! The hotel itself is located in a prime location and the rooms are nice The food here is great too! If you want a beach/pool day and don’t really feel like going anywhere you can honestly assure that you’ll have great food, drinks and service right at your hotel, plus there’s a small beach a short walk right behind the pool

I Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re going to be in Honolulu and I hope to return this year for my birthday when I come back

Mark Oliva

Everything is good The room size is above average The pools are clean and all amenities are good

The staff are courteous and requests for linen and other essentials were taken care of immediately Parking is not a problem Request a room that has a view of the lagoon so you can watch the fireworks on your room I only gave 3 stars because of the policy that they do not clean the rooms when requested I understand not cleaning daily but if requested, they should clean the room

Chelsea Jones

This was my first stay at the Modern and it was extremely disappointing and nothing special Without prior knowledge, on arrival we were told that there is no room cleaning and we have to ask for fresh towels and other room amenities when we need them, including putting our garbage outside the room Firstly, we are not in quarantine so I don’t know why this is the case and secondly it is not hygienic or pleasant to have used towels and garbage lying around every floor of the hotel corridors

The staff at the hotel are extremely slow at actioning requests When asking for towels, I waited up to an hour for them to be delivered on one occasion They also don’t answer the phone promptly and even before my trip I was trying to contact the hotel about my reservation and I had trouble contacting them via email and phoneThe pool is nice, nothing special The sun beds are filthy however- they could use an upgradePool bar closes at 9:30 which I thought was quite early for a hotel?The overall cleanliness of the hotel was disappointing- on arrival the room was far from spotless There were hairs on the bathroom floor and dust and dirt on the floor which I had to clean myself3 electrical sockets in my room were not working and the WIFI cut in and outWouldn’t bother staying again- apparently it has recently been acquired by Hilton so I hope they can whip the hotel into shape!

Not too bad overall, but a little overrated The price is what you’d expect from a military-affiliate hotel, so the higher rank you are the less value you’re getting The location isn’t bad, but a little outside the main area (this may be considered an advantage)

Parking is $16 is you’re staying there, which is great for the area The big hit on this hotel for me, along with the rough towels in the bathroom, was the pool There’s an adult only pool, a main pool with an infinity pool above it, and a splash area for children The splash area is fun, but the main pool had so many rules it was hard to enjoy anything:- the entire pool is cleared at the top of the hour for “safety and training,” whatever that entails (it wasn’t obvious)- a child must know how to swim to swim in the pool without a life jacket (which they will provide) I understand that’s extremely safe, but then what’s the point of the three lifeguards and the other rule to be within arm’s reach of your young child all the time? Clearly this pool is not a good opportunity to have a child practice swimmingOverall, I’m glad I stayed a night, and I haven’t discounted the Hale Koa entirely, but I will definitely do a thorough cost comparison with hotels in the area before staying again

Jessica Morel

Friendly staff, very clean hotel and Omgosh the beds are comfortable as ever! There is a Starbucks in the main lobby which is convenient when you want to wake up early and just lounge in the lobby area Downstairs there is the Exchange for military and hotel guest Pathway downstairs leads you to the pools and beaches

Food was good I had a cheeseburger and fries for lunch which was delicious Ocean view rooms you will not regret if you purchase it was amazing! Free parking and walking distance from the strip I definitely would book here again!

Tammy Folks

Hale Koa is a haven in the craziness of Waikiki The grounds are stunning The adult pool was so relaxing and quiet, with shaded areas which is a must for me

Liked the Barefoot Bar as there was a lot of room to spread out, and had good drinks for a reasonable price Our room was very nice, we were on the end so had an extra large window which made it feel more spacious Our friends stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian village which was beautiful, but it was way too crowded for us We enjoyed the serene quiet of Hale Koa! The only thing I would change is for restaurants to have more gluten free options as I have celiac disease The breakfast buffet was fine, but the snack bars really had very little or nothing I could eat This hotel is a definite perk for those who serve/retire from the military We felt blessed to have the opportunity to stay there!

Sam Wingerter

Had high expectations for this resort given its prime real estate Checking in late, we expected an easy & smooth check-in, but ended up waiting way too long – could have been greeted with waters or a complimentary drink to ease the wait The guest experience is lacking given the $ paid – just didn’t feel the warm friendly vibe you would expect

The rooms are dated, but spacious – AC works well Nearby food outlets on the resort are average quality – nothing special (nice part is there is an ABC store on the resort) You have to book your housekeeping (ended up cleaning the room) plus can only hold pool towels for 24 hours or return them the next day Also, make sure you check which building you are staying in as they play live music until 11pm on some nights and found it hard to sleep Pools are good, but busy All and all, would try booking somewhere else next time unless this resort starts to prioritize guest experience management

Anthony Chan

Beautiful location with direct beach access This conglomerate of Hilton hotels bunched together creating a little shopping haven What is unique with this Hilton location is the fire work every Friday night at 8pm

An experience you do not want to miss The fire work is beautiful and proximal that it feels 3DBali at the waterfront for breakfast: the waitress I have was attentive, personable and made great suggestions Although it looks real pricey, the portion size is decent and can be sharedwhat make up for the price is the view of the ocean and the food being served immediately piping hotThe only cons are the front desk could have smile more and be friendlier Being a diamond member and could not get any member benefits when subscribed to the Hilton Grand vacation package was a total disappointment Not only you can’t check in early, we had to wait 3 hours to be notified that our room was ready Then wait another hour at the mail and key line to find out that our room was not ready That was a little perturbing

jim nava

The General Manager (Jeff) + all staff of the hotel were amazing, helpful and accommodating This helped my family and I to actually relax and enjoy every moment we were there I am so grateful for the hospitality and professionalism from initially booking to departure

Very clean resort with very high standardsExcellent location Accessible stores and food options within the village + a 15 minute walk to the main strip regardless, for shopping and restaurants Parking although expensive, is in a secured garage steps away from each of the buildings in the resortBeach front, lagoon and landscaping were well maintained and beautifulMandara Spa on site was helpful to rectify an issue and the massage was excellent

This review is based solely on the host we had, Tomomi She was incredibly kind and although our stay did not work out as planned, she was quick to accommodate a refund and was very polite about the entire situation This bed and breakfast has a ton of potential, and just needs a bit more love in regards to some moths and mold in the bathroom

Unfortunately with me being very pregnant, we ended up not staying due to those reasons Again though, we can not say enough kind things about the family that resides here and Tomomi who assists with guests All were so nice and understanding The landscaping was also incredible on property

Xadra Rettew

This bed & breakfast is in a wonderful location, I found this gem browsing orbitz with one room left available It was convenient because I paid in advance so check in with Tomomi was a breeze It is a very intimate quiet setting, it seemed like the owner& family lives there

They were all super polite! I managed to get a lot of great pics around the property that Tomomi helped me with after she served me a delicious customized breakfast Would recommend this to someone looking for a little escape to an exotic classical Hawaiian getaway ( very )close to town

DAVE CIRONE

First let me start off what a beautiful place this is It is a hidden jem 1 of a kind inn

Beginning with the front entrance and continuing thru out the house, wonderful artifacts, paintings, figurines, statues, and fun things that catch your eyeThen there is this garden, probably the best garden I have ever seen, so many things to look at and adore Gives you plenty of shade thru outAlso there is a salt water pool to enjoy in the middle of it allI can not say enough about the family that run it The owner was a great guy to talk to, alot of great info of the place and the island The woman who seems to run it Tomomi, she was the best, caring, host you can imagine, she took care of your check in, and made you comfortable to stayShe even cooked the breakfast the next morning Which was very very goodThe family makes you feel like your home!!! Will Definitely be backThank you guys for a great stay All the way from Chicago
