We will definitely stay here again. The resort has everything my family needed. Honestly, we didn't have to leave the area and if it were up to me we wouldn't have. The snorkeling in the lagoon could be better but there are other spots to snorkel very close by. Check out the little reef by Paradise Cove less than a 5 mins away from the resort. Get there early since parking is VERY limited.
The resort gives you 24 hour access to the gym and there's a very nice path for early morning walks.
Staff Every staff member at the resort was very friendly and hospitable. One of the staff members, Juanito gave all three of my girls pineapple candy which had them smiling from ear to ear.
The rooms The 1 bedroom ocean view suite is awesome. VERY spacious and has everything you need with a full kitchen and in unit washer/dryer. We moved to a mountain view studio for the last few days. Okay for 2 people but I wouldn't recommend it for a family of 4 or more. You'll feel cramped. The studios come with a mini-fridge, rice maker, toaster, dish towels, dish soap, utensils, cup, glasses bowls, plates and laundry detergent. No stove and no in unit washer/dryer but there are 2 washers 2 dryers on the 7th floor in the Moana tower. No quarters needed. 👍
There are many activities for adults and children. My daughters favorite was the "Message in a Bottle" activity. Kids create a message in a bottle and are instructed to turn it in to the front desk for them to mail to loved ones. There is a cost of $3.50 for them to ship it but well worth it.
The Pools What can I say..... we spent hours there.
I can go on and on.... we can't wait...
Read moreThere are four man-made lagoons at Ko Olina, which have beautiful and prestine white-sand beaches and scenic views. My wife and I dropped by to have a quick visit to the four lagoons before sun sets in, which we did. The Ko Olina lagoons are located on the west side of the Oahu island, and the sunset view is awesome, which is likely to offer the same view during the day, and not to be missed when visiting Oahu. We took TheBus from the main road after our helicopter tour from the airport and connected with an Uber ride to reach the Lagoon4 as our starting point. We took the inner walkways to reach each of the other lagoons. We then walked to the main road to take TheBus back to Waikiki, an experience not to be repeated due to the long walk to the bus stand in the night. The cost of an Uber or Lyft ride can be rather prohibitive, though. The best is to visit early in the day and have the flexibility and choice of transport...
Read moreThis place had great reviews for snorkeling. False. There is nothing to see in these lagoons. They are extremely safe even in high winter waves though. Great for kids and family. Man made lagoons with hotels at each. A bit like a swimming pool. Outdoor showers, bathrooms to change in, water fountains. Its very tourist friendly. Just dont come thinking it'll be good snorkeling. The bright point- there was an endangered monk seal basking on the beach. That redeemed this trip...
