Kawaihau Holidays from AU$1,864

Location was the strongpoint for this resort. Oceanview was great, proximity to shopping and dining very good. Resort needs some updating.

I had a great beach view from my room, the pool area was quiet, amazing views of the sunsets, great service - valet, bar staff, and house keeping were all great. Best perk lots of walkable activities less than a mile away from the hotel - like the beach near the last lifeguard tower was amazing! I loved the protected snorkeling area, got to see colorful fish everyday and saw over 30 turtles.

I have not had a more amazing experience. Absolutely perfect!!

the grounds were nice. location was good. pools have no restrooms, so... bbq's conveniently located, but only lit by a battery powered light on the grill. bbqs sit on very small, elevated concrete pads +/- 6" which was a little dangerous. our first room was terribly hot, and even though the property is designated as being smoke free, our neighbor under us who apparently is a resident, was smoking heavily outside on the lanai which easily found its way in our room. they upgraded us to a 2bed 2 bath ground floor, which was nice, but all of the window screens were in need o replacement and allowed mosquitos to enter the room. we both were tore up by mosquitos the whole time. it was horrible. the cabinet door under the kitchen sink was literally falling off. the coffee maker was the cheapest junk ive ever used, couldnt make a pot of coffee without the coffee grounds running into the carafe. there was a fair amount of kitchen utensils, but not a single knife in the drawer that was sharper than a butter knife. all dollar store serrated junk knives. the kitchen did have a nice newer refrigerator, micro, cooktop. the room came with nice beach chairs, masks/ snorkels which was nice. the cable or whatever for the TV's was very difficult to figure out and the remotes didnt seem to work right, we only watch tv at night before bed, so not to inconvenient, buit with everthing else, its just "one more thing". the girl at the front desk was very nice and courteous.

Gardens and landscaping was meticulous and beautiful!
