The hotel

This 850-acre oasis is the perfect destination for those who want to immerse themselves in Hawaii’s scenic splendour, with plenty of excellent water sports to hand, a world-class spa and some of the best accommodation on the island. The pool complex is quite simply incredible and comes complete with a 70-ft main pool area, two secluded spa tubs, a large children’s pool and an upper-level pool with rock waterfall and 80-ft slide. Sports fans will also appreciate the use of two 18-hole championship golf courses, floodlit tennis courts and a fitness centre. Nearby are legendary surf spots Sunset Beach, the Branzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay so walk on down and enjoy the Beach! If you want to spoil yourselves, the beach cottages are superb, set along the shores of Turtle Bay in clusters of six. Guest rooms and suites are also impressive with every modern amenity included to ensure a supremely comfortable stay. Dining options include Roy's Beach House, where you can enjoy a chilled beach vibe and delight in the freshest local ingredients. There’s also Off The Lip which has spectacular views and live music to accompany your sundowner cocktail and delicious light bites.

We had a really special stay here. It’s a lovely place, very impressive. The staff were great upon arrival and our room was perfect. The views are stunning! There’s a really well stocked convenience shop there which came in very handy multiple times. We felt like we were in a movie staying here and I’d highly recommend.

Our family decided to have a staycation and late birthday celebration) as we never experienced visiting this side of the island as often after living here for over 20 years. As local residents, we were very impressed and appreciated the services and amenities provided at the hotel such as the Pacific Dream on site photography (highlight of our trip), jacuzzi, and the horseback riding (highlight of our trip). Front Desk Services were very in touch and a big help for us as they sent houseman, room service, and the maintenance to our room when requested. Our only comment is that our walk-in shower did not have a door which can cause messes on the floor and the hose option which can be convenient, but that is the structure of the bathroom. We overall had a very good stay and I wish to do use all amenities offered if I have the opportunity to visit again. Read less

Mar 27, 2024 jamesmickn

This is about contacting them by phone. Over $1,000 a night, and "the concierge is not available" at 2 in the afternoon. You must be kidding me. Trying to make dining reservations. VERY bad look. It is embarrassing for a high end resort to say they do not have anybody available for such a simple request. I mean, really....
