Stayed here from May 7-14th 2013. Nicer resort than what I would normally stay at. Booked the garden view room, but ended-up with an ocean/pool/garden view. The way the resort is laid out, I think most rooms will have a partial ocean view. This is a great location, as it's 2-3 miles from K-mart, Macy's, Wal-mart and several other retail... More

We checked in May 7th, after a long day of air travel from the Mainland. Fairly quick check in by a friendly desk agent. Our room was upgraded, as we were told in advance, to a partial ocean view. It was better than expected, with a view of the bay, pool and mountains. A nice balcony with two chairs was... More

We had a great time here at the end of April. The resort has a beautiful interior courtyard where you can feed the fish at 9 in the morning. We traded a timeshare to stay here and were not disappointed. We did have a housekeeping problem when we first arrived but that was taken care of and we were able... More

Great place to stay if your flight is arriving late and you need to drive South or North since the roads are dark and not well-marked. The photos looked spectacular on the website and the grounds were beautiful. The vibe at this resort is a little different than other resorts on the island - a little more bare bones and... More

This is one of the most beautiful places I have stayed. Staff very gracious and accommodating. Was a bit leery about "garden super-saver" room through AA Vacations and first room was not great, overlooking walkway roof. But request to change rooms was made with no problem. Helicopter tour of Kauai was amazing. If you pick only one activity, this is... More

The hotel is kids friendly but nothing activities for the kids so mostly family with teenagers or couples were there. Restaurants in the property were good but especially we liked Duke's and went there for a couple of times. Service in the hotel was great but as all the resorts they too tried to sell you timeshare. Other negative thing... More

I'm loving my stay here so far. Room overlooks the ocean, huge pool and multiple hot tubs, and walking distance to some local shops and restaurants. I can't really think of anything not to like here other than it is not an inexpensive place to stay! Friendly concierges will help you set up whatever activity you'd like to do during... More

This is one of most gorgeous properties I have ever stayed on. I am not the kind of person who goes to a resort hotel and only stays there all day without exploring the surrounding areas, but I can finally understand why someone would at this place. The hotel has a beautiful lagoon beach all to itself, and granted the... More

The hotel rooms are nice. We had a king size bed, and there is a sofa which I'm assuming is a pull out bed as well but we didn't use it, and there was a desk area which was large and useful. The bathroom is nice, fancier than the regular hotel bathrooms for sure which is great. There is a... More

My husband and I stayed here a few nights (amongst other islands). Our first assigned room was old and smelly (mold) although, when we asked to have our room changed they gladly did so. The resort facilities are clean and expansive enough, but not overwhelming. Guest service was efficient when I asked for them to transition the room to "feather... More
