1. Massages on the ocean, with breezes blowing and waves crashing, it was amazing.

2. Some of the people who made our stay memorable were: Denise Hoopai, Front Operations Manager, who graciously gave us fourth floor ocean view rooms; Rocky, horseback riding tour guide/paniolo, who made our horseback riding tour great fun; Alan the bellman/driver who was a walking history book of the area; and Thomas the bellman who, as he puts it 'comes to work every day with a smile on my face' and put a smile on ours.

3. So, here goes: If you want a pretty secluded and safe beach, it's here (remember-all beaches are public in HI); if you want a very affordable, decent rate for an ocean-front no frills hotel, it's here; if you want the feel of 'old Hawaii' with all of the Aloha and the Wailea location, it's here; great food--not here, good food, yes, but not great; best sunset lounge that's not on the beach, it's here; big-time, over-the-top nightlife, not here, but good Hawaiian entertainment several nites during the week, it's here; friendly staff--Jay, Kai, Michelle, Amy to name a few--nothing is ever a problem; great bed, clean room with plenty of towels, soap, etc, it's here; if you want lots of kiddie amenities, maybe another choice is wiser; if you want quiet, quiet, quiet, a large hotel and grounds where you have space to wander and relax, this is it.

4. The hotel is constructed in a horseshoe, with all the rooms facing the ocean, so at least you can enjoy the beautiful ocean view from your room.

5. The hotel indeed is a bit outdated and old-fashioned, but the rooms are big and very clean and view even from the partial ocean view rooms is great (we saw the montains, the garded with the pool and the ocean).
"Definetely not a bad choice " Read full review on TripAdvisor   5/26/2010 Vote      
6. Another bar inside the hotel has a nice bar tender and nice views to the ocean, but it's time they clean the windows (oops!), so the view could be nicer.
