Overall, we had a wonderful time here at this property.
Pros:
The unit was spacious, clean, and quiet. The pool was perfect for my family. My children are 8 and 10. It had the deep end for swimming and the shallow end for playing. The location was great. Close to the beach, but easily drivable to just about anywhere on the island. Most toiletries were included and of good quality... toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, body wash. The kitchen was well stocked with almost everything we needed, including oil and spices. It also came with beach amenities...beach wagon, umbrella, chairs, boogie boards, coolers. We also requested sand toys, and they were at the front door when we arrived.
Cons: It was miserably hot in the condo when we arrived. Being from New England, our bodies were not quite adjusted to the heat. It was fine once the unit cooled down. We had an issue with ants in the loft upstairs. There was ant bait under the kitchen sink for immediate use. I did contact the manager and she sprayed the next day. I updated her that the issue hadn't completely resolved and she immediately sent an exterminator. We were pleased with the response.
There were a few issues with some electrical. There was limited lighting in the kitchen. The lights over the stove and sink weren't working and the overall light in the kitchen just wasn't enough to help that. There was also an issue with the fan in the downstairs bedroom. It was difficult to control the light and fan at the same time. The light would turn on randomly in the middle of the night if the overhead fan was on. On our first day, we also encountered a dying rat on the way to the pool. Maintenance does a great job on the grounds. I'm sure this was part of an exterminator plan for the condos. It was just a little disturbing to me and my kids.
I would say that the pros FAR outrun the cons. We really did enjoy our time here and were sad to leave. I just wanted to be honest and upfront.
The only other thing I'd like to mention...In all of my research of Hawaii I never once saw that this was an issue. If you plan to go to the beach near the condo, you really need to go first thing in the morning until about noon. Once the trade winds kick in, you just can't sit on the beach. My poor family got sandblasted to the point that my children were crying. We ended up spending the rest of the day at the pool.
