Memorable experience
by rmh66 at Citysearch
My family went there for my Dad's birthday, and the combination of a beautiful beach at sunset, relaxing atmosphere, and good food made it one of the most indelible memories from my trip. The food ranged from good to great (my dish of crab-breaded opakapaka was excellent). Service was just right for a table that included young children.
- Pros: Atmosphere, Valet parking, Food
- Cons: Distance for disabled, Slightly expensive

An oasis of waterfalls, orchids, colorful fish, golf courses and pillowtop beds in a desert of jagged black lava.

In Short
The resort's 540 rooms have one king or two queen beds, dark-wood furnishings, marble-accented baths with telephones, and lanais with garden, mountain or ocean views. Amenities include a sprawling sundeck, two tidal-pond whirlpools and a free-form, 10,000-square-foot pool, open 24 hours. Three golf courses, 10 tennis courts and ancient fish ponds are shaded by lofty banana trees and coconut palms. Linen-side cabanas, chaise lounges, snorkeling gear and tropical cocktails are available at the adjacent private beach.
- Pros: Marble-accented bathroomsBrunch buffetPrivate beach for snorkeling
- Cons: Bars close earlySelf parking is difficultSome furnishings are dated
