One wing in this property is under renovation and my travelling party was initially given rooms in this wing. We changed rooms and after that our stay of 4 nights was very nice. Nice views of the ocean, managed to even catch a glimpse of whales while seated at the restaurant for breakfast!

Although dated the room was clean and tidy. Bed was very comfortable and tv worked as it should, also plenty of hot water. When we asked for a kettle to use instead of the supplied coffee maker, one was delivered promptly. We had a room on the 2nd floor which had ocean view and also overlooked the area where the evening entertainment is held so we got a good view of the event. Although the resort has been there a number of years it was very well maintained with lovely grounds and a grand ocean front bar for a relaxing evening drink or two. It was an easy walk for a couple of 70 year olds to the start of the Kona restaurant and shopping strip which was a definite plus. Thumbs up from us.

Location was great,we loved it but the only complaint we have is that we paid nearly 400 AUD a night and we still had to pay for parking and internet, but overall would definitely go here again......
