Location, location, location

Excellent location, location, location. On the point, beautiful sunsets from the room or bar/pool. Near shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and responsive, availability of services good. This resort is older, noticeable in the rooms; loose plumbing, noisy ventilation, a heavy, sticky sliding door to the lanai. However, the bed was very comfortable, linens and towels fresh and clean. Restaurant service was very slow, the food just okay, a lively bar.

It is a great area, an older Hotel that is remodeled, but the quality of the work is poor, and they left a lot of old and ugly. It is still a good hotel, just not a 5-star or what it could be if remodeled properly

Wifi did not work and staff told me to contact the cable company. Tower was entirely under construction. Staff lied about there being stationary bikes in the gym and when confronted said they have never been to the gym. Generally staff was not friendly or helpful.

We had a great time and would definitely return. Our room was a little outdated but it was clean. The housekeeping was excellent. Location was fantastic. Could easily walk into town. Parking was good. Was upset the lagoon was not open to swim. Luau was great. Our room had a good view of the wster. Wish the chairs on balcony were more comfortable. All in all it was fantastic.

Stayed with the understanding that the property was under renovation at a discounted price. Despite the renovation, the areas were clean and the noise did not cause us issues. Room was spacious and comfortable, with a nice balcony. The room did show some ware and tear, which was not an issue, but did illustrate why the renovations were occurring. Hotel had gorgeous views and was convenient for pickup for excursions. Parking was paid but easy, and check-in and room access were quick and convenient.
