Mokoli’i Island or AKA Chinaman’s Hat is an iconic spot in Hawaii.  Jurassic movie was featured here.  On a very nice day, low tide, you can paddle or kayak to the island and take a hike to the top.  Be careful though when you explore this island as the current is strong or tide can change.

Overall it was a great stay and we will definitely be back. Great amenities and the convenience of the Tikis Bar & Grill was so sweet!! The only thing I wish was available is… to have the gym open 24 hours. Closing at 10pm is unnecessary when a hotel is open with staff 24 hours a day.
