The resort is perfect. It is in a beautiful location, the rooms and hotel was spotlessly clean, and the staff are all incredible. Slightly further out of Waikiki which we were initially worried about, but there is a free shuttle which runs throughout the day. Direct access to a wonderful beach, and the pool area is also great.

We had a larger and top floor room, that was great. We could even spot a turtle in the shallow water from there. The Dolphin encounter was expensive but worth it.
