This hotel has a modern design theme, but rooms seem to try to blend old and new furnishings with mixed results. The color scheme now matches their sister property across the street Halekulani with pale blues and neutrals. There are no grounds, but the place is clean and comfortable, and rooms are well-appointed. The pool area was improved during the recent renovations and now has a spa pool and an infinity lap pool with a view that melts into the ocean. They also added a garden on the same level and a pool bar for drinks.
Lanais not directly facing the ocean are standing-room only, but the eighth-floor rooms have giant lanais. Some standard rooms face the parking garage. Bump up to a “mountain view,” if you care at all. And deluxe ocean view means they’re up high enough to peek over the Halekulani that sits in front of them on the ocean. The fitness room overlooks the pool, so if you use it, you’ll be an inspiration to every lazy couch potato lounging around in the water. They also offer free fitness classes like yoga on site.
You’ll have signing privileges the Halekulani’s restaurants and spa (but you can’t use their pool). Rooms are 288 sq. ft., suites are 619–729 sq. ft. They have different packages available. About a block to the nearest beach.
