The hotel itself was in very good condition and very smart, the pool was a great place along with the fitness centre. The first night we went to the buffet resaurant, the food here was far from inspiring and even better it was cold, we tried this restaurant a few times for both breakfast and dinner but were left hungry...

I would like to personally address this comment to the General Manager, as I am positively surprised he responded to most of the reviews here. The hotel amenities are kept very much in order, yet the service the staff of the restaurant / mehana and some of the people working at the reception desk provided is rather poor. Example 1:... More
