I was planning a trip to Hawaii to celebrate a late honeymoon as well as a birthday trip for my husband and I. If you are looking for the perfect balance of luxury and comfort THIS IS IT! You get the feeling of a luxury resort from the second you walk into the lobby, and then you get the comforts of “your own home” once you enter the suite. The suite is so spacious, clean and updated AND feels warm and welcoming like your own vacation beach house. It was such a lovely added touch that there was a “welcome” kit with local treats like macadamia nuts and even local Hawaiian tea to try! The location is perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to rent a car because there are tons of restaurants, stores, parks, a huge mall and the marina all within walking distance. There are even POOLS on site, if you don’t want to go to the beach (which is also walking distance). The suite even comes equipped with everything by you would need for a beach trip like chairs, umbrellas and even a cart to haul it all! The best part to me was waking up every morning looking out onto the lush, green mountains while sipping coffee and listening to the birds. I honestly felt like I had a small piece of paradise, all for my own here! Any questions I had were answered immediately and I felt like I had a personal contact on the island, instead of just a hotel concierge. Already told ALL my friends and I’m planning two more trips to stay again next year. Mahalo !
