South O'ahu Scuba Diving Holidays

We stay at this property, usually about one Week a year. Over the last five years they have consistently. Taken away amenities. The lotion that they give you for your room. No longer Has a pleasant Coconut smell to it. They've changed the Lotion to a much Less expensive lotion. They have stopped doing daily maid service For your room. The most they will come to your room is every other day or every 3rd day. We just stayed for a full week. And received maid service one time. The Monkey Pod restaurant Will not give you honey For your tea or coffee They will put hot water in a little bit of honey So it's more like honey water and not honey. If they keep eliminating. Amenities. There won't be Many reasons to stay here. It has always been a lovely Well run resort? But every time we go there. We get closer to not going there any longer. There is also. Strangely enough, no happy hour,at the bar at the pool. So if you are looking for a happy hour, You need to leave the property entirely. This may be the only hotel I'm familiar with in Hawaii that no longer has happy hour.

The room was gorgeous! Bravo for the elevated and tasteful decor. The exterior does need a little facelift here and there as it is an older hotel, but there is a "classic," old Hawaii charm about it. Bell Attendant was a bit pushy when we did not let him take our bags before check in - asking repeatedly - when guaranteed check in was only 30min out. Other than that, the staff at the Veranda was so nice and cheerful and dinner at Arancino was amazing. This is a great option to stay outside of Waikiki.

This is of course nice for the price you’re paying I don’t think it’s worth it. One of the main reasons I booked hotel was for the pool and there was about 10 kids in the pool splashing and screaming the entire time. One day there were even moms with babies in slings in the hot tub, soaking their feet while their toddlers splashed in the hot tub. The vibe was off and weird, and I even asked one of the attendants if they could ask the parents to control their kids and they did not help. The gym is nice, but overall the pool is the crown jewel and if it’s like my experience at all you should book somewhere else. Also I had a “partial ocean view” and it was definitely “partial” … and the room was clean but did not look like I was in a luxury hotel… it was kinda small and basic. Way too many people too… it was not a great stay.
