The resort is beautiful and out of the way. It takes about 30-45 minutes to get to Honolulu, if that's where you want to go. I am surprised at reading these reviews as they don't mention the additional and endless costs. This place does not nickel and dime you, they hit you with $5's and $10's. The staff is friendly, the resort is like a small fantasy-land and the grounds and rooms are well-taken care of.

However, the food is terrible in two respects: 1) it is VERY expensive, and 2) it is more suited to a cafeteria than a resort. I had a hamberger (frozen patty) and a beer by the pool: $23!!!! We had breakfast at the cabana: omlette $16!!! They charge $20 per day for parking. The rental rooms are VERY small, about 11' X 20', more like a cruise ship. They are "lock-off" units of time shares. We stayed with 3 people and were walking on top of one another. A cup of coffee and roll in the morning is $8!!! They charge you $20 per day to change the linen, otherwise, they simple make the bed. The security is so tight, they will not let you leave without using your room key to open the gate.

There are a lot of nice things about this 1st class resort, if you don't mind second rate food and 5-star prices.
