Such a fun little spot!! Right on the beach so we got to watch the sunrise every morning, it was so beautiful! Loved the pool, there was never anyone using it so we got it all to ourselves every time we went. Service was great and check in was super easy. Would definitely stay here again!

This hotel was much better than expected. The room looked nicer in person than in the pictures online and the bed was very comfortable. The ocean view was lovely. The grounds were beautiful with direct access to a terrific walking and biking path. This was a very nice place for a one night stay as we navigated around the island.

Some good, some not
View and access to walking path are great. Pool area is nice. Microwave only cooking option. Refrigerator very small and tiny freezer area frozen over. Had to go to front desk to obtain silverware and hair dryer. Room interior shows wear.

Aloha!
Although we stayed only one night, we had a great experience! The staff was very welcoming and went over and above to make sure we were taken care of. They even had bicycles to use for the afternoon! The view was amazing and we were close to shopping and dining.
