Reviews and Ratings
I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and always well attended to. The enchanting views of lush tropical gardens added a special touch, and the option to freshen up in the gardens after check-out was a lovely surprise. The service was exceptional, with staff embodying the aloha spirit and going above and beyond to accommodate guests. The location, while beautiful, had its drawbacks with aggressive birds and some crowded areas. Dining was a mix of pricey but good meals with stunning views. Overall, a great experience with a few minor issues.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered a phenomenal view, but they felt dark despite the tropical setting outside. The TV channels worked well, except for HBO. The front desk suggested upgrading for a higher price. The service was friendly and attentive, although the hotel is awaiting renovations after being sold. The location was beautiful, but there were some disturbances from day pass guests at the crowded pool. The dining options were good overall. I found the facilities to be well-kept.
The hotel offers a variety of view options from its spacious rooms with slightly dated furniture. The service was excellent although there were some issues not being addressed promptly. The location overlooks the ocean and mountains, but the property seemed a bit understaffed. The dining experience was amazing with a spectacular view, although slightly overpriced for the offerings.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The spacious rooms offered a relaxing experience with stunning ocean views and sunsets, but the layout and distance to the pool could be a hassle depending on the room location. The service was generally quick and efficient, though getting cocktails at sunset took longer than expected. The location, while bustling with guests from Westin Condos, provided easy access to water activities despite some messy instances. The dining options were average at best, with limited offerings, but starting the day with breakfast and enjoying a laid-back day by the pool or beach made up for it.
The hotel had a spectacular restaurant with beautiful views but was missing some furniture pieces. The service was very nice and accommodating, but there were instances of unattended plates due to aggressive birds. The location, though clean and beautiful, struggled with bird disturbances, yet the front desk provided helpful information. Dining was expensive and somewhat disappointing. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and challenges.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were large and offered enchanting views of lush tropical gardens, but unfortunately, they smelled soiled and rotten. The service was excellent in accommodating our room change promptly, but there were hints of a needed renovation in the works. The location was the standout feature, being on the Na Pali coast, although some aspects felt like a train station atmosphere. Dining was good with stunning views, although the transition to a standard breakfast buffet was a downside.
