    A social atrium
    Ron V.

    So far, i have spent a night here. Here is how it went! I arrived 2 and a half hours before checkin. They allowed me to keep my bag at the bell hop while i explored nearby area's. Headed Pearlridge Center for a while. Side note: uber from here to mall was like 13 bucks. mall to hotel was like 40! Came back to the hotel, checked in and everyone was all genuine smiles the entire time! EVERYONE exudes that... that... THAT ALOHA! there's no other word for it, honestly. The rooms are quaint but charming. You can find videos on youtube from other guest, and they are all pretty accurate. this is no 5- star ritz, but it's still very welcoming and enjoyable! Yes, they have a pool that's maintained. No hot tub, but it's Hawaii. You can do without a hot tub just fine The only thing that held back that last star is that the AC takes a bit to cool the room. Everything else is solid! First time traveling to the beautiful islands of Hawaii? Don't worry about packing the bathroom stuff and little travel things. Their general store has everything you'll need! from a rubber slippas to beach towels, snacks and even travel sized items, they got it here, so don't stress about the little things. Come out and enjoy!

    Mold or mildew?
    B C.

    The good: It's close to the airport, and there's a free shuttle. The bad: The rooms are terrible. Mold or mildew in the shower, the A/C is loud and barely generate cool air, the staff barely seemed to care, though they appeared to try to be helpful. A text asked how things went, and yet did not respond. The faux concern was consistent with the overall unpleasant experience.

    I paid about $200 just to stay at a place like this (one night). It was really a bad experience. We did get a ride from the airport which was very close (maybe even 6 min). The lady who picked us up was nice. The room was extremely small. The AC looked like it was gonna fall off. The AC made so much noise the whole time. The tv had no sound until you put it to 80. The vents looked nasty. There was definitely fire hazard how the wires were. The fridge didn't work.

    Have shuttle on time when we called. Never showed and we took a taxi for $20 after an hour wait. Upon arrival, even though we booked with Expedia, we were charged $117.95 more for the five days! Restaurant, go to China Lagoon. They don't actually have a restaurant but friendly smile and just about any drink. Room: Out-of-date and tiny for two. A/C worked but no daily housekeeping. Coffe served down stairs. They also have a small, damp laundry room. Fair job. $3 each load, card or quarters. Would we stay here again? NO! Two years ago they charged us for the week even though we had a legal issue on the Mainland. I tried to talk with on-site manager and to no avail... we lost that money. We stayed in the hopes we would get refunded or the same days they took from us. Don't trust them with money. Most of the staff were somewhat friendly and the not so friendly ones should get a different job.

    I've been staying here for years. My last trip was just a few weeks ago. I appreciate the fact that there is now a fence around the parking lot - a new addition since my last visit. Parking is tight, especially in the evening, but the front desk / security is willing to help find a space - even if it's at the restaurant. The front desk staff is friendly. The shower gets hot - the water pressure is very strong. The room is comfortable enough to get a decent night's sleep. There's always coffee in the lobby and the little hotel store ahas a variety of things available to eat/drink. You do have to pay cash/card as they will not allow you to charged to your room. Conveniently located close to the airport.

    Everything from the time I called in last minute check in date of and pet friendly! The hotel I believe have been at the lagoon For ages, passerby and going to the Chinese restaurant in the complex of the hotel. I decided to call on behalf of my 92 year old mom will not be able to away from home during the prepping of the fumigation. Luckily there was a large room availability for three adults and pets. I consulted with the staff about my situation of our capture of our ‍ a tall security man enters the convenience shop he helped us with getting a long stick to capture her to her cage. Hubby took her home. We spend our one night in comfort! The television we had no idea on how to change channels so we left on as is. To my surprise next morning I saw an oldie "The Monkees" 3-4 young lads that I was in their fan club in my junior high school years mid 60's! I'd like to go back again to stay to swim in their pool... staff all friendly and the bar lounge next to lobby awesome we had our happy hour welcome text message we went to have one drink before our dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant. They also have an outdoor sitting area with a fireplace cozy quiet garden area. I highly recommend either short stay or transitional passengers from the airport they have their own vehicle to pick passengers.

    This hotel is the worse I've been in... for the money it's not worthed. The AC is a window unit With a trash can outside, under the AC unit to catch dripping water. Be your own bellman, get your own bag, the only thing that's ok is probably the parking, compared to downtown Waikiki. The upgraded room is a joke... and the asking price? Don't go by the pictures online... what a mistake that is. This is a hotel that still has jalousie windows, circa 1950s... and the nearest anything is miles away. This is just us checked in. .. and we are here at 4 nights? The only thing is this weekend is the Honolulu marathon, expected over 35,000 runners... do not book this hotel based on the pictures online... it is nothing like that

    Jan 10 - 16, 2024. 2 twins. This is a 3 star hotel, my second time staying here. First time was in the early 2000s and I thought it was an ok stay back then. This time around, I made sure to be more observant and to take in the entire experience. Upon arrival, I went to check in and Filo helped me. Filo was informative and courteous, she made the checking in process so much easier! (I had 2 reservations and Filo made sure to note that I'd like to stay in the same room and also explained what I needed to do to make sure things went smoothly - I appreciated her help!). Our room was exactly as described on the website - small room with 2 twin beds and a bathroom. No frills. Although I wished they'd have put a sitting chair in the room for, you know, sitting. lol Parking is onsite and free! I'd advise that you do not stay out too late or you may find yourself looking for a parking spot - I found this out when my son and I returned after 10:30 pm and ended up having to park along the side of the building (with the help of hotel security, of course!) If this happens to you, make sure you go to the office so that the hotel staff or security can help you out. There is an onsite pool and it's beautiful, except it was open for a day or 2 during my 6 night stay. Why, I don't know and didn't ask because I didn't plan on using it. So, if the pool is important to you, ask about it. There is also a restaurant onsite, the Lagoon Chinese Restaurant, which I've heard (from locals) is good. There is also a bar but I didn't note the name. Overall, stay was good. Service was good (be nice to the cleaning staff and they'll return the favor!). In fact, every staff member I interacted with was nice and professional. Recommend? Yes, especially if you're looking for inexpensive accommodations. I used to live here and this hotel was in prime location, easy and fast to get anywhere - waikiki and East Honolulu, as well as the other side of the island, Waianae, etc. Also, I loved not having to pay $40 a night for parking as I did in Waikiki, or driving around in circles looking for parking. Return? Next time I'm in town, YES!

    Free lobby coffee

    Better than what I expected ! Pacific Marina Inn was my saving grace after an epic trial with Mokulele airlines. We were treated with genuine hospitality from pick up, check-in and check-out. All staff were all nice and honest. They may not have the best of the best facilities but they have everything you'll ever need. At the lobby, they offer free coffee for guests (which is a 5 star service), they also have mini grocery store that is open 24/7. Our room was ok (again, not 5-star) but it has TV, Wifi, microwave, fridge and the bathroom has all the sustainable amenities like lotion, body wash, shampoo etc. I am shocked to see that they have low stars but if you look into it; this place is worth it considering the price you'll pay. Better than other 3-star hotel brands for sure. Great job Pacific Marina Inn, you guys saved my 25th birthday. Thank you so much!

    Wires hanging out everywhere

    If I could give this place zero stars I would. First room still had body hair in the sheets. They moved me rooms and the next room was dirty, wires hanging out, peeling paint, dents in the walls and just overall in extremely poor condition.

    They have a restaurant on property

    See all

It was outside the 24 hour cancellation window but their concierge was so understanding Thank you

    Embassy suites Waikiki 2123…read more Bed - nice and comfy. Little movement from partner. Mattress was a Serta Perfect Sleeper Plush mattress. Hotel offers different types of pillows in the room and spare blanket in armoire. Also in the armoire is hangers, an ironing board and steaming iron, which came in handy for those wrinkled linen shirts mashed in my suitcase. The Bathroom. - one sink with a little counter top space but sufficient. The toilet was also bidet in the master bath. The shower pressure on 21st is ok but low, but it did the job. The Ac in room was awesome! It gets super cold, if you need it, quickly. It was nice for those hot humid days of walking in Waikiki. It had an In-room mini fridge and bar sink with 4 real drinking glasses, which I like. Hated there was no freezer in the mini fridge But the bell hop station offers to freeze ice packs, or whatever you need, for you. We had 3 sliding doors with west views and moderate views of Waikiki beach. The Second bedroom has own bath with also a single sink, toilet and shower- No bidet. The room/bedding/bathrooms were clean with no mold in the showers. The furniture showed a little wear but nothing excessive. The Elevators were fast! The pool, mangers reception and breakfast are all on the 4th Floor (terrace level). Breakfast was typical of Embassy Suites, I like the made to order omelette which makes it much better. Lots of fresh fruit and even some miso soup and other Japanese/Hawaiian offerings. The Staff was awesome and super friendly. I Used valet every day. Great service, fast and practical IMO but hard to swallow the daily fee. The hotel was attacked to the Waikiki beach walk. Island vintage coffee was a regular stop for coffee and sometimes breakfast. Order coffee or food to go online after 8am to save a ton of time standing in line. Hotel was Very close to all ththe shops. Awesome location. Much better location than Hilton Hawaiian village location!!! Our fav restaurant close by the hotel was Kana Pilla and Monkey Pod, which were across the street. Make sure to make Open Table reservations for both way ahead of time. I did mine 2 months out. Housekeeping willing to clean and supply new towels daily however linens are not cleaned but every 5 day, unless you request it, which they are happy to do! Views from 21st floor were awesome and all 21st floor rooms had extensive balconies. 3 sliding doors. Keep in mind Ac doesn't work, yes the fan blows, when the doors are open!! It's too humid at night to sleep with them open so we had them open for select times, mostly am. There's a Washer/dryer laundry room on site, 3rd floor only. It was Very convenient especially packing 4 days of clothes for a 10 day trip so our suitcases weren't stuffed . Use laundry room on sundays/mon or late evenings when people are too busy arriving and leaving. $5.25 to each wash load and I think $4.75 to dry. Washers only wash with cold which I like. Perm press on dryer seemed to dry all our shirts and socks well. We hung our nice Aloha shirts on the hangers in the room and they dried within a day. Washer and dryers take credit cards. Yes they're is a soap machine that also takes credit cards. I didn't use and just bought soap from ABC. ABC stores are EVERYWHERE so don't lug around suntan lotion or waters in your suitcase. Just buY at ABC which is only 20 steps away. FYI ABC doesn't no GIVE out bags for items unless you spend over a certain amount. ANC bags cost like .50 cents. ABC has Awesome poke and alcohol (spirit and beer) choices. Yes single purchase tall beers too. Don't forget the free brief fireworks show in front of the Hilton Hawaii Village on Friday nights only. We saw them set off at 7:45p by the lagoon. It's amazing how many people attend so be prepared for the crowds to and from. Big tip: make open table reservations for all your restaurants months ahead! All places are super busy until about 8:45 pm on most nights. Hope I helped.

Because we made this our base, I feel that we had a good representation of what the property and staff had to offer. The service was top notch from the valet to the spa. The location was great for walking, and the valet was fast and convenient. The food at the beach house was excellent. I absolutely loved my massage at the spa. My little one loved going straight to the beach from the room. The beachfront in front of the moana is fantastic. Not too many rocks and calm.

This hotel, being the most expensive I have stayed at, is by far the worst of all of them. This includes the hyatt regency, the princess Kaiulani, Hilton Hawaiian Village & the Waikiki beach Marriot. I booked this room via Amex Platinum travel. Ok, the pluses: location, beauty, very comfortable bed and relaxing rocking chairs on the porch. The negatives: Room was in the old building, no where did it mention there is no lanai. NO LANAI. The rooms that have it are far more expensive I come to find out. I booked a ocean front "renovated" King. Ok, so no Lanai, and no Japanese toilet. WHAT? How is that possible? Waikiki was the first place I ever experienced a bidet toilet. Even in the crap hotel like the princess. There is zero way to get a chaise lounge at the pool, I woke up at 8:15 and went down bc I was on pacific time and all the lounge chairs had a towel over em like the pools in vegas. Disappointing, Ok, no room service, and no makeup mirror. Those are my complaints for the room. My only other complaint about the hotel is the valet. They quote you 25 min to get your car but both times it has been 40. I will also say there are weddings going on on the fri and sat pm I stayed here. That is fine, but even with my windows shut I heard the music LOUD. It was an Indian wedding so there was a lot of drumming. I asked if there were other rooms avail. but i knew there wouldn't be. I tried the 57.00 breakfast buffet and I have to say it was just not good. The made to order omelet and the man who cooked it was awesome, but the rest of the buffet was just meh. prison scrambled eggs, fruit, a pancake, a horrible eggs benedict. Like I said just Meh. I also tried to door dash and the driver was not allowed to leave it at my door so he was told to leave it at a door dash delivery table, but i had to ask 3 people where that was. I will compliment every employee, they have all been exceptionally nice. I just won't spend for this. I need a lanai. I need a Japanese toilet. I need to get my care quicker. (Hyatt was never more then a 10 min time quote) anyhow, I just felt compelled to yelp this bc a lot of people must be like me and thought this was exceptional. I find it a true 2.5 star hotel as far as compared to what else is right here.

WORDS TO DESCRIBE Halepuna Hotel: Modern, clean, safe, economically and environmentally friendly (bamboo room cards, water dispensers for your reusable water bottles), bright, airy, quality service in hospitality and room service LOCATION I loved staying at the Halepuna Hotel. It was centrally located at the beach walk, so ABC Store, shops, restaurants, and the beach were all within walking distance. *It was difficult finding the location of the hotel, when we first arrived. There was no big sign that you can spot, while you're driving, so my landmarks I always looked for were the ABC Store and Denny's. STAFF/SERVICE: Everyone that we came across during our stay was very friendly, generous, kind, and attentive. A shoutout to the Valet Service crew, especially RJ. He gave us recommendations for where to go. He always made us smile and laugh with his jokes. Thank you Uncle! AMENITIES: ROOMS Our room was equipped with charge stations-usb and usb c compatible plugs, ironing board/iron, mini fridge, ice bucket, tea kettle, and coffee maker. BATHROOM Well stocked with towels, a drying cord, blow dryer, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I appreciated that instead of your standard toilet, the hotel had bidets! *Great water pressure for showering. The tub was also spacious, if you wanted to take a bubble bath. 8TH FLOOR GYM-Equipped with a lot of machines Water dispenser Additional restrooms/shower room LAUNDRY ROOM is open 24/7 There are 3 washers and 4 dryers You can pay using your credit card or download the WASH CONNECT app *Friendly suggestions: -As a guest, bring your own laundry soap/dryer sheets--or go to the ABC Store if you forget your laundry supplies -Make sure to clean the lint trap before you put your clothes in -Put a timer on your phone to check on your clothes GARDEN -Serene, tranquil, peaceful, spacious -------- Friendly Suggestions for Halepuna Hotel -Have a big sign stationed outside the hotel, perhaps elevate the height of the sign and add lights to it, so it's easy to spot for first time visitors ------- All in all I enjoyed staying at the Halepuna Hotel.

    Still our favorite hotel for our family staycation! We've been coming to Hilton Hawaiian Village…read morefor years and have stayed in just about every tower except one, and we've enjoyed each experience. We're not high-maintenance travelers--we simply appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time together, and every stay here creates lasting memories. One of our favorite conveniences is the ABC Stores on the property. They're reasonably priced and have surprisingly good sushi and poke bowls for a quick meal. This summer visit was noticeably busier than our fall stays. The pools were definitely crowded, and the village was packed with tourists. While people say tourism is down, that certainly wasn't our experience--it felt very lively throughout our stay. Instead of driving, we used Lyft to visit the Waikīkī International Market Place, which ended up being much cheaper than paying for parking and was well worth it. During this trip, we stayed in the Kalia Tower and loved our room's view overlooking the ocean, lagoon, harbor, and even the marketplace below. My husband also enjoyed using the fitness center. He mentioned it was busiest in the mornings and mid-afternoons, so evenings seemed like the best time to work out. One of the highlights of our stay was our daily feathered visitor--a pigeon that stopped by to greet us every day, which became a fun little tradition. Overall, we had another wonderful stay and made more great family memories. We're already looking forward to coming back again next year!

    With all respect to the Hilton family, The Hilton name should be removed from this iconic property…read more It's an embarrassment to say the least. The Hilton accomodation standards are shamefully missing from this iconic resort. After reading several reviews and confirming that the iconic Rainbow Tower just completed its multi million dollar renovation, I secured a Rainbow Kai High-Floor Oceanfront room. Room 2719. The room view was spectacular however the room itself was not Hilton comfortable. Decor was nice but not what we anticipated it would be. After our first night it became obvious that the multi million dollar tower renovation was cosmetic only. A/C system was noisy and not adequate enough for sleeping comfortably. Mini fridge leaked water on floor. Hot water in Shower/Tub/Sink took between 4 - 6 1/2 minutes to get warm/hot. NO EXAGGERATION Closet had a musty odor and wooden hangers that were absolutely disgusting and should have been discarded years ago. The super (main) pool was littered with leaves and debris with zero upkeep maintenance. The tower elevators were another issue. The elevator lobby facade was updated but that was it. The wait for an elevator was absolutley ridiculous. The tower has 6 cars with smart technology. Once inside you couldn't help notice how old they were. Loose wires, dirty mirrors as well as creeks, bangs, scrapes. Definitely an unnerving experience. The Hotel wait staff were very friendly and hospitable although no one stood out for name recognition. The MOD (Manager on Duty) did provide a $200 and $100 resort credit for the hot water issues. She did indicate that the recently completed renovation was a cosmetic upgrade only and that interior building components (Water pipes, elevator mechanical upgrades etc.) were not included. The Rainbow Tower was originally completed and opened in 1968 The property itself is expansive. The beach, lagoon, pools, shops and restaurants are all located on property within a 5-10 minute walk. Conveinant ride share area as well as Charley's Taxi service for an immediate ride with 24 hour availability at the bell stand. While Park Hotels and Resorts fully funded the capital improvements as the property owner, the daily resort operation and management remain under the Hilton brand. Such a shame.

One of the important standards I look for in a hotel stay, is a focus on supporting locals. For me, if there's a Starbucks in the lobby, then I'm already disappointed. This hotel has one of my favorite local chain cafes, Honolulu Coffee Company. The only local café that has consistently made perfect crema foe decades. Starbucks baristas are not trained for this. The hotel also has restaurants with lots of local flavor. The sushi buffet is amazing but difficult to get a reservation on the weekends. 100 Sails also has a buffet though ordering ala cart seemed like the best choice for us. Best place to view the Friday fireworks. Our only disappointment was how much street noise we could hear throughout the night, even though we were on the 28th floor.

    Overall, we had a nice stay at Prince Waikiki for our family vacation. The views are amazing, and…read morethe amenities are top-notch. We booked the Club Premier package, and we felt it was worth it because breakfast at 100 Sails Restaurant on the 3rd floor was excellent every morning. One thing to keep in mind is that parking is not included with your stay and must be paid for separately, which is something to factor into the overall cost. One big concern was the snacks on the 5th floor. We came across moldy bread, which was definitely concerning. I would think the staff would check the food before putting it out, especially considering this is not a cheap hotel. I loved that we could grab coffee every morning from Honolulu Coffee without having to leave the hotel. The lines can get long, but the service is fairly quick. The staff, overall, were not very welcoming and often seemed serious. However, on Monday, June 29, there was an older woman who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She really stood out and made us feel appreciated. One other issue was that the body wash in our room was never refilled, so we ended up not having any during our stay. We also requested a later check out and our key cards aren't working. The front desk never mentioned anything about need to change keys cards if we had a later check out and now we're outside our rooms having to go back downstairs and change our key cards. And they were making it complicated because they wanted my drivers license even though it's in the room. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and the beautiful views, great amenities, and delicious breakfast made it a memorable family vacation.

    I stayed at this outrigger property 2 nights from March 6, 2026-March 8, 2026…read more When I checked in I was informed since my stay was for 2 nights if I needed to have my room cleaned to let housekeeping know. Once my room became available I dropped off my luggage and then went directly to the beach. When I returned I did notice some areas of concern where the room was not very well cleaned. Instead of calling housekeeping I went directly downstairs to the front desk. Front desk personnel were busy as there were only 2 people assisting the long line of quests. I decided I'll just deal with the room uncleanliness later. Please be advised that I did take pictures. Once I checked out on Sunday, March 8th, I advised the front desk personnel my concerns. The manager Ira listened to my concerns as I showed her my pictures. She immediately apologized and ask that I email the pictures to their corporate office. Which I did once I arrived back to the mainland. In the room there's a finger or toenail clipping on the carpet between the console and couch. Also you can also see that portion of the carpet has not been vacuumed. The clothed bench in front of bed was extremely stained and filthy. So filthy that I covered the bench with a bath towel if I needed to sit down. Also the refrigerator was very dirty. I chose not to put any food items in the fridge because of this. Also the bottom of the toilet is stained with either fecal matter, urine or maybe it's rust. If so, clean it then use caulking. These are the concerns I have with room 403. Hopefully I'll be hearing from upper management in regards to my unpleasant stay in room 403. The best part of staying at this hotel was the show Auana which is located at this hotel. Needless to say I will not stay at this hotel again.

The front desk staff were very kind and helpful especially during the situation where our room was facing the construction across the street which ended up being a little loud for us so we had requested a new room away from that side and they had a room ready for us in 10 minutes with someone who came to move our luggage. Rooms were nice and clean and spacious we stayed in the diamond tower facing part of the parking garage with a view of part of the beach! It was still great to sit out on the balcony and watch the hustle and bustle of Waikīkī along with the sounds & views of the ocean! The location was across the street from the beach. They also have free beach towel dispenser which really came in handy but make sure you return it before midnight to avoid a charge! Lol. The parking garage was a little questionable as it is very tight and hard to find parking especially late at night so valet might be your best option or alerting the staff that there is no spot for self park they'll usually work something out to make sure you get one. The breakfast/brunch buffet was to die for! It is up there in price but my goodness it was phenomenal. I mean you're on vacation why not splurge a little?

The valet staff was friendly and efficient and everyone we interacted with was welcoming. Unfortunately, the room didn't match what I'd expect from a Hyatt Regency. There was a leaking bathroom faucet, a chipped sink, rust and water damage around the bathroom door, dark buildup around the shower fixture, heavily stained blackout curtains, visible dust and debris under the bed and dark spotting inside the bathroom vanity where clean towels were stored. The room also had numerous scuffs, patched walls and signs of deferred maintenance throughout. The location and staff saved the stay, but the condition of the room fell well below the standard I'd expect from this brand, especially at this price point.

I love that it is in the heart of Waikiki, very walkable to shopping and nightlife should you want to leave the grounds of the resort. The nightly local music with hula under the sky is magical. Reservations for dinner, or grab a first come first serve cocktail table at 5 to watch the sunset! There is also nightly jazz in the bar. La Mer is a one of a kind French experience and Orchids is fantastic for any meal of the day. Just outside the hotel is a delightful oceanfront park where the hotel hosted yoga each day. A highlight for me. Great poolside service. The beach is small, so if you are looking to lounge on the beach, that's not really much of an option. This hotel is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. So you know it has the highest standards. That brand has never steered me wrong. And the fact that it is not under a massive hotel chain umbrella means it can maintain its authentic individuality. Pro tip: if you have a late flight, there is a lounge where you can relax and prepare for your departure, as check out is 11am.

The restroom is in the restaurant area. I never once left the restaurant throughout the entire evening. I was simply on my way to pick up my drink from the seating area and then head to the bar to pay. He told me I was "going the wrong way" when the way I was going would have led to me to the bar... The way this team handles tabs in this bar is abysmal. Right when I sat down, I was attempting to give my bartender my credit card to start a tab. They refused to accept my card and said don't worry about it, and that they'll take it after I'm done. I explicitly told the bartender that I was going over to the lawn right next to the bar (still in the restaurant area) to get a better view of the musical performance, drink in hand. They said go ahead. Nobody should be treated like this

I slept like a baby in the king sized bed! I also liked how there was a small kitchen with cookware and a microwave. We were celebrating a minimoon and were gifted a bottle of champagne, a bar of chocolate, and a lovely fruit platter. Service was impeccable, from check-in to dining to pool service. Breakfast was included in our stay and the food was quite impressive. Not only do you get the breakfast buffet, but you get to order as many small plates as you'd like (mind you, they're already quite filling), and one large plate. You can also take your leftovers to go. Honestly, I would eat breakfast and be set until dinner most days. At the pool, they also brought around ice cream or smoothies to keep guests refreshed. They did so pretty frequently. The pool was also never super busy, which was nice as we just came from another hotel where the pool was constantly packed. You do get a small view, but it's mostly blocked by other buildings. There's a decent gym that also was never super busy. It's on the same floor as the spa. We contemplated treatments, but ultimately never went.

Great location, very accessible to stores and the beach, and also secluded in a sense you're not in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. We came as a family of three. Not only did they gave us a warm welcome, but they provided plenty of accommodations for our baby. A baby robe which was the cutest, but also a diaper genie baby bath tub and toiletries. We were so impressed! The room views were amazing and our room was upgraded which was a super plus! Breakfast was amazing! Our favorites were their mochi pancakes. They did have construction during our stay, but nothing to really get in our way. The service and accommodation were amazing! Thank you for our great stay Ka La'i! See you hopefully soon!
