We stayed here in order to have a good vantage point to watch the start and end of the Ironman competition. For that, this hotel was perfect. However, if you are looking for amenities, comfort, or service - stay away!
Our original rooms (booked a year in advance) were unavailable due to the air conditioning in them supposedly being out. No matter, the new rooms assigned to us also had no air conditioning, and we could not get our room under 80 degrees the whole week we were here.
The hallway of the floor had a huge gap where an ice machine had been. This gap was leaking water, and during our stay the hallway rug eventually became soaked and smelled musty. Also, our toilet leaked, and the repair was fixed by wrapping a towel around it.
The room itself was pretty drab, and smelled musty - which was really only bearable to be in during sleep time.
None of the restaurants on property were open the whole week we were here - except for the outside Billfish Bar. This bar served sub-standard pub food at outrageous prices, and the quality left a lot to be desired.
The pool and spa adjacent to the bar were nice and were kept clean the whole time we were here.
The luau was done nicely. It was very entertaining, and the food was very good and offered a few local fares. The show was fairly long, and the entertainers were engaging and fun. However, the free drinks quickly disappeared earlier than advertised.
The hotel had a nice beach as well, and easy access to a lot of the activites such as fishing, surfing, and snorkeling.
The service was okay. There were a lot of excuses for things being out of sort due to the Ironman. However, I think one can only blame so many things on an event that is there once a year.
All in all, I would stay away. |
