The hotel rooms specifically bathrooms are in need of a complete renovation/ Refurbish. New floors and carpets. It’s noise level is high between suites as well on the ground floor rooms. Restaurants need to be open much much later and/or having a more stocked convenience store on site would serve your guests well. Your service staff at the beach bar and seaside grill very friendly and accommodating. A more affordable happy hour would be beneficial. The veranda in the evening with it’s live music was lovely. A daily shuttle service to Waikiki would make this property more desirable to stay at in the future. Yoga should definitely be complimentary at a resort of this caliber. (As at the Royal Hawaiian) More people would attend. Reggie in security went above and beyond during my stay, well done! Unheard of kindness and efforts! Unbelievable.. Overall
