1. My only issue I had with the hotel on not rating it a 5 star was we were only asked 1 time in 6 days if we would like any drinks/food when out at the pool (I was out there every day for 4-6 hours).

2. The staff was very friendly, our room had charm but was a bit dark (again, we had constant rain; this may not be an issue if the weather holds up).

3. 00 per day, after staying in a hotel like this that attitude cheapens the experience-it was not an issue for us as we dont like to spend the whole day at the pool, sad to see people in groups hog 7-8 chairs, use them for 10 mins, show up before the alloted 60 mins are up-use them for another 10 mins and be gone again-the staff cannot change the policies management can-the staus quo sucks.

4. The pool area is the only negative my wife and I had an issue with, nothing to do with staff but with the hotel policy.

5. In addition, I would echo several other guest issues: bathrooms are small with minimal amenities for a resort and spa (Shampoo, soap and conditioner), room door didint lock unless you remember to push it closed to latch.

6. The pool is quite small, but we spent all of our time on the beach, so it wasn't an issue.

7. We found no negative issues with the Surfrider.

8. The beachfront access, the sounds of Hawaiian music drifting up to our room each night, and the sound of the surf make up for any minor service issues we had.

9. But if you stay up late, then this wouldn't be an issue for you.

10. I brought my Lysol wipes with me so I took care of that issue myself.
