    Breakfast was not well organized and we had to wait 30 mins to get a table. Quality of the food (breakfast and dinner) was not very good, e.g., the salad was not fresh. Don't go to Tacos Tuesday, it's not worth it. Alternatives are around and are much better.

    The room was nice and clean, staff was friendly, we had partial ocean view and liked the design of the hotel and the wonderful beach. You can see turtles and lot's of fishes. Parking is $18/day, which was okay. Nevertheless, this should be included if you pay $400/night! Water refill station and welcome drinks for free.

    We tried the restaurant at breakfast on the first day only! Waited 25mins to be seated. Food seriously overpriced (and I live in Los Angeles). Far better options outside! Deflection tactics from front desk - so irritating. Tsunami management was dreadful - zero communications, if it had been a significant wave, the hotel wouldn’t have a clue where how to manage it.

    The location, facilities, vast majority of the staff.

    The pool layout and proximity to the beach was wonderful.

    One of the two rooms we got was not at all the picture on the site. It was dark and missing furniture. Not at all updated with paint chipping and peeling off the walls.

    Staff was very nice pools were nice and clean. The poolside cabana was affordable and very comfy. The souvenir store was well stocked with anything you could possible need. Our flight was not until late at night and we were able to book a room for a great price for half the day.

    The food was not very good, especially considering the price of everything.

    The front desk and cleaning staff were fantastic and the concierge was very helpful. The pool area and location on A-Bay was great. Room was clean and cool, bed was comfortable. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

    The poolside service is not all that great and after a storm, there was water backups everywhere that weren't taken care of for a couple of days. The one restaurant is just okay.

    The location is gorgeous - beautiful pools with the lagoons and then the beach beyond. The proximity to the shopping plazas nearby was great, so lots of choice in restaurants, along with Lava Lava down the beach.

    No mirror in bedroom; poor lighting, no reading lamp over bed; no grab bar in shower which should be standard in all rooms not just disabled. Bathroom door poorly designed…almost crushed my partner who was using closet when I exited bathroom! Hallways much too cold for guests in shorts or bathing suits.

    The kitchen does a very nice job, but the portions on some meals are much too large, unless the diner is a glutton.

    Great location on the Kohala Coast. Very short walk to other restaurants, grocery/market, and other shops.

    Very expensive for what you get. Everything cost extra, like sitting in canopy by the beach or pool. Staff came and told me it cost extra to sit in canopy even though it wasn’t occupied. I was kind of embarrassed. Food was very expensive even though they bought me instant mash potatoes from powder.

    Great views

    I think it is pretty expensive and a limited choice of restaurants for a resort of this kind.

    the location and the landscaping are wonderful. the swimming pools are excellent. I like its proximity to the lava lava beach club. we were disappointed yes that there were no water sports equipment for rent in the afternoon.
