Loved the grounds - so many pretty flowers and plants. Very accommodating staff as well. Parking is the only challenge, I wish we could get a reserved spot or priority because we have young kids but not a big deal either. Altogether very happy with our stay and will stay here again in the future!

Aloha, first time staying at this property as kamaaina, and we were so impressed with how nice the property is upkept. Amenities great, service is spot on, and convenient to everything anyone would need. Love the water stations, and refillable water bottles they give you. Pools were quiet, and clean. AC was bonus.
