Reviews and Ratings
I just had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms are overly spacious, with a comfortable bed and large bathtubs to soak and relax. The modern decor and large bathroom with separate shower and tub, separate toilet room, and double sinks were impressive. The grassy area with palm trees and plenty of seating spaces added to the charm. However, the price may be a bit high for some.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms at a high price point, with a large bathroom area separating the bath and shower. The service is attentive and professional. The location provides easy access to the beach and offers stunning sunset views. Dining options are good but come at a high cost.
This hotel truly exceeded my expectations. The rooms are spacious with a level of amenities unsurpassed, and the friendly, helpful staff make your stay superb. However, the dining experience fell below standard. The location is simply magnificent, particularly for enjoying the sunset on the Pacific from our lanai.
