boutique retro room was decorated with surf vibe. Vibrant colors/decor made you smile upon arrival. Balcony ocean view - PRICELESS

Chaminade Resort & Spa
Food was superb. The employees were so attentive and very serviceable. This was a business stay so didn’t get the chance to enjoy the amenities. Did manage to squeeze in a hike the shortest trail of the 3 they offer. Breathtaking views especially after rainy day.
