Stopped by Hualani's while waiting for a flight back home. We hung out in the bar for happy hour & looked around a bit. - WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE! Great bar food- Coconut Shrimp and a piece of Cheesecake. Beer & cocktails were terrific - as was the service! 😎
Very nice Resort with ample room in the suite. Everything was excellent. Only downside was one restaurant on property with a very limited breakfast menu. If they were to offer a different menu a few times a week, it would solve this problem.
I visited the Timbers for cocktails and appetizers at happy hour. The staff was most friendly and the prices reasonable but the view was priceless. We got to say a few whales breaching, a few planes landing and a large cruise ship passing by. If you time it right you will get quite a show!
The property is new and located in a secluded and scenic area, but the nearest beach is a bit away (5 min drive). The infrastructure and location are great but if you are travelling with family looking for a resort like experience this is not the place to be in, there is only 1 restaurant on the property (so limited options), there is no 24x7 room service, and your best bet is the nearest grocery store (Safeway) 11 min(drive) away. Personnel wise, it is hit or miss, some employees are great, others are less experienced. Housekeeping staff is a big problem, we had a 3 bed/3.5 bath apartment, they cleaned only 1 bathroom and “forgot” to clean the rest!! Next day they didn’t empty all the trash cans in the apartment!! When we asked for linen change on used beds, the front desk person said we do that weekly once(sanitation/hygiene?) and we can do daily for a charge, then he checked with a superior perhaps and then said we will do it, no charges sorry 😊 – hence my comment less experienced/new staff). In a nutshell, property is 5 stars for infra/scenery, great for a retirement/secluded living if you get all your grocery in. But if you are looking for pampered, 24x7 room service, and on demand service which we are used to in 5-star hotels, you will be disappointed. They need more time and training for the staff to reach the level of service expected from a conventional 5 star resort. This is a beautiful place for a daytime visit, think like a park/beach, eat lunch or dinner and go back home after taking lot of pictures, night stay/longer, there are better options.
The drive into this place is like driving to another planet. Then there’s the view from the restaurant. So beautiful! We came for brunch and it did not disappoint. Food was incredible, too. Not a bad dish in the group. Quiet and relaxing. What else do you need for a great brunch spot?
