I have been coming here since 2007 or 2008... just read someone's review from a month ago,…read morecomplaining how isolated this property/area is, how one needs a car to go to Waikiki, and how overpriced things are. I just had to laugh! The location is precisely why so many people come here, it is absolutely beautiful, but if you want the hustle and bustle, it is a very easy drive!!. And also parking? As an owner, it is free, but even $48 is not that overpriced. Go to any city and expect to pay at least $50/ night...and Waikiki even more so. And of course things are going to be overpriced, you are in Hawaii ( insert eye roll emojis!).. But the real reason why I am writing this is to continually praise how much I absolutely love this resort, time, and time again, in different stages of my life. My kids come here on their own now.. so many people over the years here that I am still in touch with, including this trip. Love the beautiful flowers throughout the property, and the meticulous maintenance/upkeep by the staff in every area of the resort: pools, hot tubs, etc are clean and very well maintained. Love all the pools, even though the Nai'a pool is closed for renovation.. love you ability to walk to the beach/Lagoon to walk, swim and watch a beautiful sunset. Always love the ability to lap swim every morning; please let some great people swimming laps with me this trip. Love the water aerobics, and the mesh of the three instructor's styles. Love Longboards take out the menu, so extensive with friendly staff. Love Jordan at the bar too for happy hour! Everyone at the tower and activities was also friendly and a joy to see every day! Love the ability to walk a few minutes Aulani, to Roy''s and the marketplace. Great on site gift shop and food options. Maki downstairs is a beautiful and friendly rep for your brand, and loved chatting with her every day. Loved the vendors selling beautiful, handmade, jewelry, and art ( yay Chrissy!! Rhoda J!! Bethany!!)) Loved the movie on the lawn ( Moana 2) and free popcorn!) Never got a chance to feed the Koi fish this time around.. Love the rooms, all the views, the awesome water pressure in the showers, the ability to wash my clothes as much as I want to, the friendly housekeeping staff, the stay and play option after check out.... A hui hou , my heart is full.

The beds were incredibly comfortable, the kitchen had everything I could think to want and the lanai was my favorite spot for napping each afternoon. The pool was a 2 minute walk from the unit - my grandsons just loved the pool and I loved the shaded cabanas. The beach was about a 10 minute walk, but we mostly used the golf cart. The unit had all sorts of bicycles, scooters, books and toys and board games so the kids were never ever bored. Safeway, Costco and Target are 1 exit away and it's so nice to be able to park right at the villa and not have to haul everything into an elevator or down a long hallway (especially after a day at the beach). My son in law was thrilled with the "high tech" gadgets - 3 huge TVs, NetFlix, wifi, even a printer. I am already looking forward to another trip this summer!

Husband was in Oahu for business so I dropped by for a few days to celebrate his bday. We happened to be on the "Premium Floor." Weren't sure what that was but to our surprise, they would drop off a tray full of goodies EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. Wow! (We have since put those awesome items outside our front door for our delivery drivers and they are super appreciative of the treats). Comfy booths for breakfast. You can order made-to-order omelets or go to their self-serve breakfast station. They even have calamansi juice! The staff onsite have been great---housekeeping person was so sweet and helpful. Breakfast attendants like September (cool name) and Ja-Zjah were amazing also. So friendly and kind. I was impressed at how neatly Ja-Zjah made each omelet. She really put in the effort to do her best in her job. I admire that. Too often we see people who just do things messily or haphazardly. Ja-Zjah put in extra effort and energy to making customers' dishes look like a work of art. I am grateful when I see people going the extra mile when they don't have to. Thumbs up!! For Happy Hour, they had some snacks (unimpressive) and drinks. Saw someone walking by with some juice so we decided to do the same. We received Happy Hour drink coupons when we checked in so we traded them in for some pineapple juice and Shirley Temples. They went well with our Zippy's meal. :) Subtract one star for the shower. I need good pressure when washing my hair and their shower heads were terrible. I don't need anything fancy. Just good water pressure. Tried every setting they had but none were good. Hopefully they can look into better water pressure. Not sure if it's the shower head or the water pressure or if they have to remove that annoying metal piece in the shower to increase the water pressure. :P Lovely hotel for your stay in Oahu!

On a whim I decided to go to Hawaii and surprise them. I searched AirBNB and had a goal of calm setting near the beach. I saw the pics of this villa and booked it the next day, for 7 days. The photos really didn't do the place justice!! Absolutely gorgeous with stunning views of the ocean and the lagoon. The master suite was super luxe with en suite bathroom (soaker tub was used almost every night). Check in was a breeze with the super wonderful Angel and her partner. They checked up on us ever so often. Very nice people (understatement). Checkout services checked my flight info and accommodated us in very courteous way. I really can't say enough about our stay here. I should have stayed another week. Will definitely recommend and use them again. Thank you to the LHV staff, esp Angel and Suzanne!!!!! Mahalo

The Beach Villas in Ko…read moreOlina are out of this world- quality and amenities are top notch, all for a price you can't beat. I personally enjoy the exclusivity of renting a villa over a room in a traditional hotel. The reason being - some nights you just want to stay in and cook a beautiful meal in a real functional kitchen instead of going out every meal, everyday. I enjoy the space the villas offer and the staff that facilitate and manage these rentals are both professional and warm/welcoming.

This place is absolutely horrible. It was a waste of my time and gas to drive all the way out…read morethere. I made a reservation online for 6 people and 6 balls to rent. I wrote in the time that I wanted to start which was 1230 pm. I show up at 1230 exactly and go to check in at the outpost Hut. The 2 guys inside the Hut tell me they didn't see my reservation and they rented out all their balls to a group that just came in..... So...we had to WAIT until the group was finished to get the balls to play.... On top of that, I paid $10 per person to play, and the guy in the hut tells me there's only 6 or 7 holes available since they use the course to pop fireworks off of. New years was about a week ago!! You're telling me, you're too lazy to put back the holes for a whole week?! Cmon man..... Then, I ask for a cart to put all our stuff in and he tells me that they don't rent out carts but that I could get one at the golf hut. So my mom walks all the way over to the golf hut for them to tell her that they don't rent out golf carts for soccer golf......?! So then after all of this, the guy in the outpost hut tells me he will refund me the balls we rented as a way to make up the unfinished course and the time we had to wait for the balls to come back. That was nice of them.....except for the fact that he didn't do it!!! He was straight up lying. Bc i kept checking my account and I didn't see no refund pending from them.... So I waited 2-3 days then I finally call them back checking up on the refund. Explain the whole thing and I'm pretty sure the guy who answered the phone was the same guy who told me he would refund it to me the day of my reservation! So he puts me on hold and tells me that a manager has to be the one to refund me. So why did that guy in the outpost hut tell me he was refunding me if he really wasn't?!?! To top it all off, the course looks like crap. And they don't even have a score card to give you. Good thing I took a picture of their somewhat course layout so I knew where the heck I was going. The course is literally just grass that is so overgrown and bumpy that you cannot even call it foot golf. Save yourself time and don't go here.

The staff could not have been kinder or more accommodating. They immediately set us up with everything we needed for a relaxing day by the water and even offered us a discount, which was such a thoughtful touch. They delivered everything right to our resort and later came back to pick it all up, making the experience effortless from beginning to end. The owner was especially wonderful--warm, genuine, and full of great recommendations for local spots to eat and explore. It was such a beautiful reminder of the true aloha spirit we love so much. As someone who grew up on the island of Guam--another beautiful but farther-to-reach Pacific gem--returning to Hawaii always fills my spirit with that same island way of life: generous, easygoing, deeply rooted in community and kindness. I'm so grateful for places and people like this who make you feel right at home, wherever you are in the world.

It's a holiday weekend and they demanded a response the same day. We replied the following morning but were told they already cancelled our reservation. Wouldn't we just book again at their new price that's $1,500 more? Talking to them to try and resolve, it was clear they just wanted more money. There was no urgent issue, they never called, they just decided they could get more money than our reservation. So be warned if you reserve with them... they may leave you hanging. EDIT: The owner left a response citing verification processes. We completed everything asked for on booking and NEVER received any communications on August 28 or 29. I have the message receipts and can gladly share. Our only message was Aug. 30 and we responded within a day, despite the holiday weekend! The property was still available. They just wanted to jack the price over $1k.
