BAD COCKROACH INFESTATION!!…read more We stayed here for 5 nights in Aug 2025 and unfortunately our experience was ruined by a persistent roach infestation inside our unit. On the very first night, we killed six live roaches indoors. Over the next two days, we encountered several more inside--including one crawling near my foot while we were eating at the kitchen table--which terrified my children. We also saw many on the patio, along with ants along the wall near the sliding doors. We were unable to use the patio or keep the doors open for fresh air. Management sent pest control to spray, but the cockroach sightings continued. They offered less than 10% partial compensation, but it didn't make up for losing the ability to relax or feel comfortable in the unit for the majority of our stay. We understand Hawaii has tropical insects, but this went far beyond the occasional sighting. This was a recurring and disruptive issue that affected our enjoyment of the vacation. Management said it's "normal" for Hawaii. Well, I've been coming to Hawaii for decades and I can confidently say this is a bad infestation because I have never before experienced anything like this. Especially at resort (supposedly) of this caliber and price point. And management's response was slow and unsatisfactory. I do NOT recommend this resort. Proceed with caution--especially if considering a ground-level unit.

Then, just days before we were arriving, I was informed that we would NOT have access to the two golf carts as agreed and that there was construction on an abutting lot. They suggested we could rent bikes to get around the property (they had some, not enough for our group). I didn't want to spend more money so we made do by walking. The construction next door meant a giant fence along the property line which totally blocked our view of the ocean. They should have offered us a different property for the week. I would certainly not use them again.

The home was like staying at a 5 star resort with ocean and sunset views, a large pool, a jacuzzi spa that could easily fit 15 people and 4 bedrooms with two master suites. The 4 bathrooms were very useful when everyone was was getting ready to go out. The staff were very helpful showing us the ins and outs of the home and all the great features. I highly recommend renting a home instead of staying at the hotels if you want privacy and a much cheaper rate per night for each room. We had 9 people in our group and it was about $75 per person per night staying at this home. Can't beat that price for a private estate in Hawaii! Thank you

The home itself was very clean and they provided everything we needed: towels, sunscreen, beach mat, washer, dryer, detergent, local snacks, anything you needed was most likely provided in the house. The home had tons of space for our family of 5 and was one of the few properties with an extended backyard overlooking the ocean. The rental also came with beach club passes that were amazing. The club beach was clean, beautiful, and provided chairs and cabanas for members as well as having access to a private restaurant and bar on the beach. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful whenever we had questions regarding the property. We would 100% stay here again the next time we visit the island!

The valet and reception staff are beautiful, elegant, friendly, upscale. Borrow a cute Mauna Lani bike for free and ride over to the market or the Fairmont for some daytime snorkeling. The gym is well appointed and has a great water machine. The breakfast buffet is well worth the $60pp value. I think I ate enough sashimi to shut up about sashimi prices for a while. Their açaí bowl with house made granola is to die for. Most memorable was making friends with Viola, Hawaii's most valuable Tutu (grandma) at Halani. Her aloha spirit just blessed our entire trip with sunshine and love. I also got to meet Les from the kitchen at Halani and learn about Taro farming! I will forever consider them my new friends from the islands.
