"I don't write too many reviews, but this resort surpassed all expectations so I felt I must. Overall, the place is amazing. The grounds were beautiful and exceeded even the nicer of many hotels we've stayed at in Hawaii. Lots of activities and cultural things to do. The room was clean and spacious and bed was comfy, and had great views of the grounds and ocean. The food: phenomenal! All food in the resort was great and had a real culinary feel to it with a wide variety of options. Have to mention the next door Beach Bar and Grill and Crab Shack, they are a must visit. Hands down best food we've ever had on vacation. Spa was great with beautiful views. Couples massage was very relaxing. Lastly, the staff: the nicest, most helpful people you'll ever meet who are super friendly and genuinely care. Always greet you in passing and always were smiling. I must mention a few: Susie and Jone at the Vahavu Pool Bar, Manasa at the Kalokalo Bar and Jone at the Bell desk - Thank you guys so much for making this extra special. Promise to see you again, Vinaka!"
