I was able to book a 60-minute massage ($95 not including tax or tip) for the next day on their website. She used firm pressure and worked on the knots on my back, some of which were stubborn. One knot was especially obdurate. She kept kneading it, so much so that I began to feel bad and wanted to tell her, That knot is not going anywhere; the knot and I have reached detente. But she managed to smooth it away! At the end of the massage, she placed a hot rolled towel under my neck and wrapped my feet briefly in hot towels, too. Very relaxing. The atmosphere of 'Alohilani is very calm and soothing (at least whenI visited, on an early June weekend) and the business is located on the second floor of an office park. I highly recommend going here instead of the high-priced spas in the resorts.

Tammy not only fixed my broken nail, but she was so friendly and outgoing she made me feel welcomed and even brought out an entire tub of colors to choose from after I specified what kind of color I was looking for. She even tested out the colors on my nails to help me make a decision, something no other nail salon has ever done and something she did herself without me even asking for. She shaped my nails to the perfect almond shape, something other nail salons also struggle with. I get my nails done regularly, this place has by far been the best place I've ever been to and would come here again and again if I wasn't states away.

I was genuinely excited that my husband gave me a facial as a special birthday treat during our…read morestay at the resort. I was originally scheduled for eyelash services and a different type of facial. However, since the technician who handles eyelash services wasn't available to perform both treatments simultaneously, I had to reschedule. We had already rearranged our plans around our commitments on the island, but this consideration seemed to matter little. Initially, my appointment was set for Monday, but while I was at the salon, I was informed that it had been canceled due to a staff member calling out, leaving only one technician available. This was quite frustrating, especially as we were trying to manage our plans during our vacation. As travelers, we don't have the luxury of time to reschedule at our convenience. I ended up being scheduled for Wednesday, my actual birthday, which required us to adjust our plans once again. I had initially booked a 50-minute facial tailored to my needs, but I received a 20-minute hydrafacial instead (apparently the time frame is different for this facial). At the end of the treatment, I expressed my disappointment regarding the short duration and lack of thoroughness of the facial I received. The receptionist informed me that I had been scheduled for a 50-minute facial and that I had chosen the hydrafacial, which was only 20 minutes long. This felt more like an upsell than a genuine treatment, as I've never experienced a facial where essential extractions weren't performed on key areas of my face, with no explanation given for that omission. Describing my disappointment as a tremendous understatement would be generous. I felt that we wasted both time and money, and the receptionist's attempt to correct me felt unnecessary, especially on my birthday when I wasn't in the mood to argue. In hindsight, we should have just left after they had done their initial cancellation and never returned to the salon. I firmly believe that you're better off visiting a nearby salon rather than spending money at the resort, hoping for a great experience, as it simply is not worth it. It's an illusion. Ultimately, this experience fell far short of our expectations, and we will not be returning to this salon in the future. It's unfortunate that the staff seemed unaware of their audience, as travelers have limited time to enjoy their experiences. I hope this feedback helps others make more informed decisions.
