I didn't like that the lagoon was closed, the information wasn't update on their system. I think they have hidden fees: resort fees, parking, room tax, county, excise, which are daily, we end paying an extra $217 which is a lot for me and I have not see it somewhere else. My understanding was that all fees were charged at the beginning.

Property is under construction so probably not a fair review. The little swimmable lagoon was closed so that was a bummer. The luau on site was amazing. The front desk and staff were a little disappointing. They gave away our room and were told we could switch rooms the next day but had to check out at 11 and back in at 4. We didn't arrive at the hotel till after 3am. We asked if there was a luggage cart and were told no there wasn't. The next day we saw there was indeed luggage carts. Just little things like that should be addressed. The grounds are beautiful and it's a great location. Easily walk to tons of restaurants and shops.

Dining choices were not great unless you left the property. We LOVED the staff at the pool, and we applaud the gal who dove in to save a little girl who was unaccompanied in the pool and lost her footing. There was a gentleman who worked at the pool as well who was a wealth of information and just so pleasant to talk to. Also loved that you provided sunscreen! As for the staff in the bar/ restaurant….they all seemed overworked and were not as pleasant to deal with. We did not enjoy our meals there and made a point of going off site to eat.

We booked an ocean front room, but they put us in a partial view room and said "just look out the side!" They charged for parking which was listed on their website as free parking. $25 a day is not free. The elevators were sketchy, plywood lined the floors in the hallways. We were told they were constructing on the outside but i did not realize i would need a hardhat to get to my room. We went to the bar for a drink and my husband who sat at a table in the bar was litertly spoken to like a child. He was told to leave it was seating for restaurant people only. Then why do you have a bar??? I would not stay here again.
