1. Our room was amazing, free bottled water and breakfast vouchers (with free meal for kids) were cost efficient, Sheraton pool was perfect for kids, the hotel was never overcrowded, property was beautiful, service was attentive and timely, empty refrigerator was useful and Gilchrist & Soames bath products smelled lovely.

3. (don't highlight it for me that I'm paying extra just incorporate it into the cost of the room - like the banana bread and lei's etc that you give everyone upon check in)- internet access is slow - 256K unless you upgrade- pool is very small (although you do have access to other sister hotel pools) In summary, this is a beautiful hotel that has been restored with plenty of charm.

8. Then at breakfast he recieves continental breakfast and what has happened at the four other Starwood hotels is that if you decide to order off the menu - points are either added to your account or there is a price cut- but again it's s big aloha but NO from this Starwood management - As my partner says its lot the cost as much as it is a complete departure from the yes yes yes / the brand was built on and a standard that is very well in place at other locations- all it takes is one bad apple as they say well Royal management ALOHA also means GOODBYE-I M not even going to go on to the fact that this has all been going on sandwiched between outrigger hotel construction and a beach basically shut down because of beach refurbishment / yes a week that should have been spent making sure guests were treated even more sensitively because of these inconveniences is a lost opportunity by this property- Ok good points are THE STAFF they all do an outstanding job fielding complaints by hotel guests - of you think we are alone trust me we are not- I suppose the management considers this weeks guests expendable in the scheme of things - Pretty hotel - pretty awful Planning and execution by the property-If you read my other reviews I try and be fair - I am not angry just really sad that a week that my partner had wanted to share and wow me/us with has been a major dissappintment/Ps I am Writting this on my iPhone on a beach at a Wyndham property sorry for the typos - Aloha .
