Puuwai Holidays from NZ$2,662

Fully equipped kitchen, afternoon resort activities, friendly and helpful staff, strong spa jets, lovely grounds, rags to clean the soil off your shoes after hiking!

Amazing views and great food. The staff are very friendly and accommodating

It’s a cute boutique hotel, tastefully furnished, good staff. However it is a 3 star at a 4* price (I’ve been to many 4 and 5 star hotels in Hawaii), it is tiny and there are no amenities: single restaurant, no outdoor breakfast, no pool staff helping with loungers and umbrellas, no beach service, no bikes, only valet parking (a hassle when you’re in Hawaii and need to take the car 4 times a day, a hassle having to manage a stash of 10$ bills to tip the valets). When you look at it from the boardwalk, it doesn’t look any different than the adjacent 3* Marriott, other than the price.

Everything was immaculate! Staff was so sweet! Kiahuna beach was the prettiest beach we visited

When we were upgraded to a nicer room due to the poor conditions of the room, we were given our stay was much more enjoyable.
