I can't believe how perfect this hotel was. It reminds me of the funky, laid back beachside hotels of Tulum circa early 2000's. Clean, safe, with every convenience imaginable including free valet- with zero pomp and circumstance of a luxury resort.

All around a very nice place, lots of families with young children, the staff was great, the food was always good. We did a wedding there because my son the groom had visited this place at lest 3 times prior to this visit and all the family had a good time and the wedding went on without a glitch and I'm sure the wedding couple will attend her again in the future.

Great hotel, we enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. Rooms were clean, 2 pools and hot tubs and loungers were nice. Parking could be a bit of a pain, and the attached restaurant/bar that was on the beach was too expensive, so we found other really great options in Kapaa.
