8. It's hard to choose just one favorite feature of this hotel: is it the open-air lobby with sweeping views of Hapuna Beach, sunset dinner on at the Coast Grille, convenient valet service (tips encouraged), easy access to a beautiful beach with wonderful snorkeling? I think my happiest surprise was the opportunity to shutter the screen doors (with glass doors wide open) to our balcony and fall asleep to the sound of the waves -- just know that at sunrise the birds will be chirping.
