"Beautiful property w/ amazing views. However, too spread out and required A LOT of walking, including considerable use of stairs. This was due to the elevators not connecting to all areas of the resort, the tram running very sporadically, and the canal boats being out of order.
Also, the pool area offered very little natural shade and there were no umbrellas. There were a ridiculous amount of blue lounges w/ canopies, but they were only available to rent for an additional $150/day. Not surprisingly, most of these blue lounges were left vacant.
Was also disappointed with the fitness facilities. Found two separate gyms; both were small and very, very dirty and one had really outdated equipment.
Finally, our room was decent and had great view overlooking the dolphins and the bay, but its condition was below what we'd expect for a Hilton: stained/worn carpet, peeling wallpaper, bent and barely functional shades covering the sliding glass window.
Overall, good but not great."
"My Family and I had a great time staying at this property the staff were very helpful and very clean and mad our stay very comfortable highly recommended :)."
"The room was very comfortable and clean. The patio area had a wonderful view of the ocean and foliage. It was a nice quiet setting after a long day of exploring the island. I will definitely be back on my next visit to the island."
"This is a very nice place to stay. Close to shopping, Starbucks, Foodliner and restaurants. Tucked just off the main road into Waimea. Very friendly staff. Clean, airy room. All recently remodeled."
