Disregard anything you have read about this resort prior to November, 2006!!! They have completely remodeled everything, from the buildings to the grounds, and it is all brand new. All rooms have views of the sea, the higher up the better. All balconies have glass to allow for unobstructed views. Our suite had flat screen TV's. They offer a gym with brand new Nautilus weight machines, free weights, elliptical machines, treadmills & stationary bikes and an attendant to show you how to use them all. There are 3 pools. The main one circles around a palapa bar, the other 2 are on either side of the beach. They are infinity pools where the water pours over the edge, seemingly into the Caribbean sea. They are all large enough to swim laps. Also 2 hydrotherapy pools on the beach. The pool chairs are all made of waterproof continuous fabric and are extremely comfortable. There are 3 restaurants, all of which have tablecloths, beautiful matching dishes, excellent quality silverware. The meals were different every day, and always offered healthy choices and at least 3 entrees. They also offer a Mexican and an Italian restaurant for dinners for people over 12 years of age. The food in all 3 restaurants was 5 star quality. They also have several snack bars where you can get pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs or nachos. They carry name brands on hard alcohol, and the wine isn't bad. For $48 per day the value was incredible.
This resort is better than the Marriott Kauai, where we stayed for Christmas last year in similar accomodations. I am a seeker of the perfect swimming pool, and have finally found it here (the pool by the "cruise bar" on the beach). I don't mind that the rooms have no kitchen facilities because food & drinks in the rooms will only bring in the bugs, and everything is provided to eat and drink in any event.
The staff is wonderful, and there was zero pressure to do any timeshare stuff once we told them we are already owners and had no desire to learn more.
