This is our 4th stay at this resort. We stayed for 6 nights. In the room was a king bed , a double pull-out couch , 1 small round table, and 2 chairs. Toiletries are my fave here! High quality smells heavenly (mango scent) and plenty of fills. There is a good-sized washroom, a mini fridge, plates, cups, utensils, a toaster, a rice cooker, and coffee makers. The coffee is good quality ; they will also provide more Keurig pods if you call them . They are not stingy when it comes to extra refills. There is a station for drinkable water on the main floor, bring 1 mug per person. Lobbies are spacious with sitting areas. The whole resort is well-kept. The grounds are well-manicured , and the pools are clean at all times. The only thing that is painful here is the long wait at the desk , almost always. Parking is not bad, and it is quite convenient, as the proximity to the building is great. The gift shop has a Starbucks in it, and it has a great variety of groceries and emergency needs like meds, special toiletries, and specific dietary needs -a good variety of food for a resort convenience store. There are two restaurants on-site: Longhi's, which , to be honest, I find way overpriced. They expect a tip even for an order of just an acai bowl to go . Longboards is much preferred, with a more justifiable price tag per plate. Bring your walking footwear, as the grounds, especially near the lagoons, are just dreamy. This is a great resort option if you are looking for a much quieter and more relaxing area compared to Waikiki. You will need a car if you plan to navigate Oahu for more than one day. This resort is about 40 minutes away from Waikiki without traffic . With traffic, it could take about 1 . 5 hours to get to Waikiki Beach . If you are checking in after 8:30 PM , plan to have eaten before getting to this resort. There are no food options on site after that time. We learned the hard way the first time. Otherwise, this is within walking distance of delicious eateries at the main Ko Olina center during the day. Don't miss the Eggs 'n Things restaurant in that area -really awesome brunch! Drinks are good here but pricey. This resort is a great option for families. Look for rooms in this resort in AIRBNB. You will save hundreds of $. We will return :)
