Waiakoa Holidays from AU$2,667

Incredible water view. Whales everywhere

The property was clean and nice. It did need some maintenance, but it was in good condition for its age. We liked how it was stocked to make our stay more comfortable.

Yes it's secluded. Yes it is a large property that requires a lot of walking. The rooms are slightly dated. It's all made up by the attention and care from the staff at the Ritz. My wife and I were celebrating our honeymoon. We were treated with the utmost care from the kind folks there. The property is well manicured and clean. The pools were fun and the golf cart ride for the long walk to the beach is a must. Unfortunately we left with a slight sour note at the end of the trip. I left my Nike Dri-Fit hoodie in the armoire the entire time during my stay... Never took it out, and only had it there for the weather back home. Although it was my mistake, I left my sweater behind. I contacted the hotel an hour after I checked out. And somehow, the staff "did not locate" the sweater. It was frustrating to have to keep asking for updates for a sweater. Until lost and found finally admitted they didn't find a sweater.

This suite has a lanai that has a solid wall which means that you cannot sit on the lanai and enjoy any sort of view. One of the two loungers is completely broken and should be removed from the lanai. The handle on the dryer comes off in your hand.
