good stay and comfortable . good location for the windward side of the island. no night life.

I like the aloha of the workers there and the location is next to Kaneohe Bay. The room was spacious and private. It had good wifi and tv. Kitchen was very useable.

Prices in Hawaii are getting higher and probably this is a fair price in comparison. but Hawaii is starting to exceed my budget for travel?

An easy part of the island to explore then come back to quiet-save some money by eating breakfast and a couple dinners.

Quiet, incredible views

Pool was cool and in need need of some maintenance. Hot tub not working

Pleasant

Loved how quiet it was

It’s a long ways away from everything, the water was green blue and didn’t smell good. When requested to clean room they didn’t come, got them to come next day, but they must not have changed sheets, just made bed because sheets were dirty

Loved the location and the view was amazing.

The location is serene and the antithesis of busy Waikiki. The staff are delightful and super helpful.

The resort doesn’t offer any meals or drinks. It’s totally self-service, which wasn’t fantastic value for money. We asked for our room to be serviced (we were there for seven nights) but it didn’t happen. The room was getting a tad grimy by the end of our stay, and a change of bed linen would have been appreciated.

Nice resort and lovely people.

Good spot to discover the east coast. Yoga with a view in the morning is perfect. Boat tour is great as well!

Getting a “wake up call” from the cocks in the early morning every day.

Lovely rural hotel overlooking the mountains, very peaceful and relaxing

The location is beautiful, with a very relaxed atmosphere The staff are informative and very helpful

When we arrived we were given a room which although large had no open windows or view We asked to be moved and we’re given a studio room, which although much smaller felt larger due to numerous large windows and a small balcony Sometimes larger isn’t always better

Beautiful dramatic outlook towards the mountains though dependent on the noise level of neighbours

Loved the outlook from the lobby and a beautiful outlook from our room

There was a lot of noise transfer between units and jacked privacy

Worth a visit in paradise

The resort is truly located in paradise. The bay is absolutely pictoresque. Kayaks are for free and a good way to reach the sandbar. Staff was very friendly and did a great job to accommodate our preferences. Pool and jacuzzy were also great and open until late. Definitely worth a visit.

There is quite a range of rooms in terms of their views and position within the resort. It takes a bit of luck to get a room with a nice bay view.

Couple's Retreat

The srunning views, the friendly, kind reception staff, that were happy to help with our queries and complaints were settled extremely well. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends

The steep driveway, the interconnecting rooms, the noisy neighbors at 5.30 am with loud tv, and an aircon unit right outside the bedroom window going all night. Some cupboards and doors hadn't been wiped down properly in bathroom.

Beautiful location and views.

Beautiful location, with a spectacular view of the bay and mountains. The gardens were lush and the access to Kayaks and paddle boards made it easy to paddle straight out to the bay, which was beautiful. On arrival the receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. After spending a few days in Waikiki Beach, it was very refreshing being away from the hustle bustle and experiencing the more traditional Hawaii.

On arrival we were advised that the restaurant was permanently closed, which was disappointing as there were no other restaurants close by. I think the website could communicate this better. There were no numbered/allocated parking bays, which made it difficult when we arrived back late after being out, and then trying to park our very large rental car in a space that was not actually a parking bay. The air conditioning external units were noisy and not conducive to relaxing on the balcony. Wasn't aware that the room was not serviced daily, but we did have enough towels for the stay. It was difficult to spend time relaxing on the sun lounges by the pool and gardens, as there wasn't any shade cover and it was very hot. Overall enjoyed our stay, but it felt like when we arrived, the facilities were not as expected.

Great spot

Free kayaks which saves a lot if you wanna go to the sandbar. Beautiful location. Free yoga. One of the only hotels up this coast so great location to go to Kualoa ranch.

Says online they do dinner twice a week but when got there they said haven’t done any food since covid. that’s 3 years so could take down online!

Jungle Getaway

Spacious room with plenty of activities to get involved in. Located away from the city.

Stairs only (not a huge issue, but good to note for others).

Car required, but totally worth it!

Location is away from ‘tourist’ gimmicks. Lovely serene views of the forest and ocean - a quiet relaxing getaway.

Shower in room wasn’t great.

It was a very relaxing stay with mesmerizing views. Food options on the site would be great.

The view and the location is amazing. I use to love spending time on floating docks. The room was good too.

Our room didn't have A.C remote control ,duet/blankets and cushions on the patio. Blanket was provided after we let the staff know. I feel the parking fee can be avoided as it's in remote location and people would obviously come with a car especially when there is no food option on the site.

GREAT LOCATION, VERY FRIENDLY STAFF, COMFORTABLE BEDS//TONS OF STEPS, NO RESTAURANT, BAR OR STORE

We liked the location, the very friendly staff, and the comfortable room.

We didn't like: 1. The fact that there was no restaurant or bar in the resort. 2. It was pretty useless the kitchen when you couldn't buy anything nearby. 3. The fact that the rooms were spread out and there were lots of steps which were not mentioned anywhere. So booking a handicap room and finding lots of stairs was quite disappointing. 4. The shower had no handshower. 5. It was a wedding at the weekend and we just went around because the lobby was occupied by the wedding guests.

Loved this oasis of tranquility

We loved the location on the bay and the awesome view from our balcony. Staff were very attentive. The easy loan of beach towels and snorkeling equipment, enabled us to maximise outdoor pursuits and having access to the property’s kayaks allowed us to explore the local marine area .

The drapes in our apartment kept out the heat/light but we’re a little dated. Some fresh soft furnishings would make the rooms more inviting.

great location and comfortable furniture. Kayaks and pool are great.

stayed there for 4 days, then Waikiki for 12 days. Perfect. Didn’t need a car in Honolulu.

Loved going to a quiet, small, place. Beautiful!!! We loved kayaking every morning out to the reef, took their excursion snorkelling and to the sand bar. Highlight. You need a vehicle.

hot tub was cold pricey
