The self park lot was frequently full, and required room key for entry which only worked 1/2 the time. We found ants in our bed on the first day, and frequently saw them on the bed, pillows and headboard area. It takes too long to wait for a tram or boat if you are in a rush, and getting from the ro...

This is a gorgeous resort with many amenities. Food and activities are very pricey but that is what you would expect in a place like this. I think they could manage to do a bit less nickel and dimming in terms of all the extra charges. I was also a bit surprised at havi...

This was a good deal for the price, but all of the resort restaurants were ridiculously expensive, and there was practically nothing to do except sit around. You had to drive at least 10 minutes to get to anything besides resorts. Also, even though it's technically on the ocean, there was no beach t...

We had not thought to ask nor did the clerk inquire as to our preference. I called down to the desk and asked if th...

We loved this hotel. Others have complained that it is too spread out, resembles Disney World, and has too many children. We liked that it was made to be a fantasy world. The Big Island is not that pretty so we liked having beauty around us. We were there after the beginning of the school year, so t...
