    Such an awesome resort

    Such an awesome resort. Highly recommend. Genuine commitment to customer service and getting things right the first time. Room was excellent, as well as all the other facilities. Excellent views from the room and grounds. Pool and hot tub were top notch, along with the beach bar. Will definitely return.

    Honeymoon Ideal! Romantic and prime location for exploring

    Location is perfect. Very cute boutique hotel. Wish there would have been an included breakfast, but here are cute places outside of the hotel. Valet was exceptional! And the free shuttle around poipu (operates outside of the hotel) is adorable and very convenient for getting around to dinners and shopping (if you don’t have a car).

    Post hurricane stay

    We had a very nice stay, especially since it was just after hurricane Lowell. It seemed everyone had pitched in to get up and running again and was glad to be open for business. Everyone did a great job of insuring we had a great stay even without the complete assortment of amenities being available.
