I went to Hawaii in March with just my husband, but we wanted to bring our kids. I wanted a place with a kitchen and place for them to have space and roam. I also really like this area and wanted to be close to the fairmont orchid (where I stayed in March) as they have a huge morning buffet. I looked for two weeks before booking and this place kept showing up. So I took it as a sign and booked. Check in was a little confusing. ( it must be different depending on who you book through, I seen reviews saying they had to check in at a different building. However I had a self check in) the writing on which unit is your made it a little confusing but other then that it was a breeze.

The place seemed nice enough but the listing I booked from honestly did not do the home any Justice. The unit was absolutely massive. I was completely shocked when I entered the home. It was beautiful, open, inviting and spacious. It had 3 bedrooms (I thought I was getting only a 2 bd) one double twin room downstairs one queen bedroom with bathroom and one king master upstairs. The kitchen, dining and livingroom are big and wide open which I love. The kitchen came with everything you would need. A huge dining room table Tv with cable and Netflix for you to log into to. And a chess/card table for you to enjoy playing games. The double twin is spacious and not cramped. There’s also a common bathroom. There’s two sliders one off the kitchen and one off the LR. You can walk right out and down to the pool which is less then 100 feet away. It’s a pretty infinity pool. It doesn’t get to packed or crowded either which is nice. There’s also outdoor grills right next to it if you like grilling.

Back in the house head up a beautiful stair case and first come to the queen room it is pretty big. It has a huge walk in closet as well as it’s own private bathroom. It’s a fantastic room. The mattress however is a older box spring mattress nothing to fancy and kind of solid and hard lol but I found it comfortable. Most won’t though. Head down the hall and you wak into a sitting area loft type thing, with a hide a bed couch table and desk. I loved this space. An it over looks the LR which makes the space feel even bigger. Head into the master BR which is big and open. There’s a slider with a private deck with lounge chairs. The master bath and walk in closet are almost as big as the room. Like unbelievably big, tub shower, double sink and private toilet. All the space you need to unpack.

There was possibly 100 extra bath and hand towels. (Like no joke my family probably used over half just because they could, which I indeed had to wash lol) there was at least 20 extra pillows stored away, as well as a ton of extra blankets, and sheets. ( I did also read in the reviews that some people were lacking for these things, so I’m lead to assume each unit is different) we however were not lacking for these things. There was a short supply of shampoo and conditioner. I didn’t mind though.

There was also a closet full of beach chairs, umbrellas big and small, snorkeling gear, sand toys and boogie boards, water shoes and sunscreen. It was something I was not expecting and was thrilled to see.

Overall I really was and am more then pleased with my choice in place to stay and I will be back. I actually couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else after this. I love this area.

That being said there are a couple of things I didn’t like. The dryer is absolutely terrible. They could use a surround system for the LR tv, can’t hear it with the open ceilings. Several Extra kitchen garbage bags. An maybe a restocking of the family games. There is a few repairs that could be made, nothing to fret over though. This is a vacation home not a hotel. It will see its share of wear and tear. Do not forget that when booking. Overall I am more then happy with our stay. An absolutely give it 5 stars.
