Great location, cute beach themed rooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The walls are really thin though.

Chaminade Resort & Spa
Rooms were nice; beds were a little too firm. The pools are nice; there wasn’t a bar open at the pool but they had a service option although it took an hour to be delivered. The hiking paths were a fun thing to do.
