The food was excellent. Shannon gave wonderful suggestion for Lemon Olive Oil cake for dessert. My wife had Ahi Tuna and I had the veal. Thank you again for the wonderful service and dinner for our last night with a fantastic sunset view.

Still a beautiful hotel since our last visit 20 years ago. The boats are not available at this time for transportation within the resort. They do still have the tram, but it is slow and we didn’t see it often when we would have used it. Thankfully we are healthy and just got our steps in while there. Those were the only downsides.

Still a beautiful hotel since our last visit 20 years ago. The boats are not available at this time for transportation within the resort. They do still have the tram, but it is slow and we didn’t see it often when we would have used it. Thankfully we are healthy and just got our steps in while there. Those were the only downsides. As a Diamond Member and maybe because we were celebrating our 47th anniversary, we had a beautiful “room with a view” in the Makai Tower. We could sit out on our balcony and watch the dolphins. We enjoyed the pools in that area and even reserved a cabana one day. It was very nice and relaxing and worth it on hot, sunny days! We splurged on dinner at the KPC restaurant for our anniversary night. The food was delicious (very beautiful presentation too) and the view fabulous. Our server was good, but not very personable (that evening at least). It just so happened the next night, (a Wednesday) they had a “Happy Hour” reception for Diamond members. Hosts came around and visited with us and the manager of the Dolphin Quest area came by and chatted and with us and answered questions. The drinks were delicious and appetizers were a work of art and also very good! We loved the sunsets, beautiful landscaping of the property, and hammocks in a couple areas. We would definitely recommend for a relaxing, romantic get away! There were some kids there still in late August. I’m sure they enjoyed it too, but really parents need this for themselves to keep the marriage strong for the kids. That’s a gift to them too! Read less

We had a wonderful family vacation and highly recommend this hotel for both families and all travelers. The lagoon was a highlight, we spent countless hours there. We loved seeing the sea creatures at the lagoon, one can take the boat across to the other side, feeding the fish, and even watching dolphins every day. There are also plenty of fun toys available for rent such as paddle boards, kayak,... Be sure to eat breakfast at the hotel, it was such a great way to start our mornings. The luau was by far one of the best I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve been to many. The Italian restaurant is a must-try, and there are many other great dining options within walking distance, including a fantastic snow cone place. The rooms were perfect, spacious, comfortable, and very clean. The hotel also offers beautiful views and plenty of fun activities. The staff is incredible, friendly, helpful, and professional. I happened to be there during the tsunami, and the team handled the situation extremely well. I felt safe knowing they were prepared and attentive. The location is on one of the prettiest parts of the Island. My new favorite beach is Maniniowali Beach. Highly Recommend this resort! Read less
