It's a 4 1/2 Star, to me. Love the location, as you can walk to some nice shops and fun bars, and a couple of really fun and good restaurants. Don The Beachcomber is good, and I enjoyed the Black-n-Blue cheeseburger with a tremendous view of the bay. I will stay here again when I go to the Island of... More

Great location by the sea and short walk to High Street in Kailua. Rooms hadn't been refurbished in a long time but were clean. Went for a swim in reef pool and were accompanied by a huge sea turtle - wow! Breakfast was $18 but good apart from birds walking on tables and eating off plates - gross! Gorgeous setting... More
