Exclusive TOP Floor Penthouse in Ocean Tower w/Panoramic Ocean View Ko Olina

We visited Ko Olina for the first time three years ago and loved our experience so much, we wanted to stay at the Beach Villas again. Fortunately, this property was available and we could not be happier with our experience. Phyllis was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and any emails I sent, checking in was easy and of course the property was wonderful. The condo itself is on the top floor which affords an awesome view of the ocean. The balcony is large with doors that fully retract so you can enjoy the view even from the living room or kitchen. The condo is well equipped with new appliances in the kitchen and washer/dryer. The condo also has items for babies and small children (high chair, umbrella stroller, and I think there may have been a portable crib) as well as sand toys, beach chairs and boogie boards.

The facilities are also great-- we enjoyed the kids' pool and quiet pool daily, and my husband and I made good use of the gym, which was never crowded. The beach was also quite calm and never crowded. And of course, we ended each day with a drink from the bar-- the bartenders were always very friendly and willing to make nonalcoholic drinks for our son. The property is also within walking distance of the Aulani and the Marriott and a shopping center that has a number of restaurants, an ABC Store and shops. We would definitely love to stay here again if we return to Ko Olina.

We stayed in this Penthouse villa for a week in June with our 4 children. To say it far exceeded expectations is an understatement. The unit was stunning, and plenty large enough for our entire family. We sat on the balacony with the fold away doors for many hours a day, and the kitchen was so fun to be in as all of the applicances were amazing, and new (and note: I hate to cook or be in the kitchen at all). The property itself is wonderful. The Lagoon is so calm and peaceful -- the only ask there is that the resort (as this unit had chairs) provide beach loungers and umbrellas. The pools were awesome. NEVER crowded, clean and so well maintained.

What I loved most is the laid back, unrushed, lack of crowd feeling at this property. There was never a fight for a lounge chair, never a bump in the pool. It was a very respectful, peaceful week. I never heard a peep through the walls or floors of the villas either. It was like we were on our own little island.

Phyllis and Blyane were outstanding hosts -- they accomodated our every need. As we had 4 kids in this villa, they provided a toddler bed for our 4 year old, and a crib/high chair for the baby.

We had a car, which I would highly recommend. We spent many days getting out of Ko Olina and hitting up Kapolei for groceries, meals out, etc.

You will not be disappointed if you choose this resort. Enjoy and Aloha!
