This resort, located directly across from the Kings’ Shops, went for a modern look they call “contemporary elegance.” The effect isn’t very Hawaiian—more like a 1950s retro-style with abstract patterns in colors to match the surroundings—but it’s bright, fresh, clean and comfortable.
The resort is located next to the ‘Anaeho‘omalu Fishponds and Beach on 15 acres of well-maintained grounds. Though the rooms are smallish but they’re comfortable. The 24-hour pool has a keiki pool offshoot that’s lined with sand at one end, forming a tiny kids’ beach. The other end features a small waterslide. The saltwater pool with an infinity edge is heated. Casabella chairs (two chairs with a retractable cover), cabanas for two people, and larger cabanas that have a sofa and other seating and may include some amenities are all available for an extra fee per day, but umbrellas are still free by pool. The “oceanfront” rooms are pretty far from the ocean and certainly not worth the upgrade price.
Their published rates are nearly irrelevant. They’ll almost always discount them. Rooms are 410 sq. ft., suites are 550–1,600 sq. ft.
