"This was wonderful. We were greeted each morning to a gaggle of Nene (the Hawaiian state bird and very endangered species). The condo was just right not fancy but clean and comfortable with an amazing view. You must spring for the ocean view. The beach is a great snorkeling beach, we never had more then 10 people to share it with. The kitchen was fine and we were able to make everything we wanted (I might bring a sharp knife next time). The staff was friendly and helpful. We felt safe enough to...

"Only surprise was that it’s a neighborhood of condo’s as opposed to a traditional hotel. Highly recommend for families looking for a bit more calm from the big hotels in Poipu. The pools are fun. Property is on a stunning cliffs edge with a fabulous sunset. Our condo was wonderful and well equipped. It felt like a “home away from home” and is a fabulous homebase when exploring the island."

8/10 Good
"The studio was thoughtfully appointed, but could use some updates. Lots of extension cords! There were lots of property fees ( check in fee, parking, resort fees) that we weren’t completely prepared for. The resort is fun, lots of activities and lovely location, but because it is on a bluff over the beach - there are lots of hills to negotiate. The views are fantastic, and the hills are worth it - but just be prepared to walk uphill."
