Hotel & location was good and beaches were great, much less crowded than central Waikiki. Easy walk to all the action when you're ready for it. Parking was a rip off and the key scanner to get in and out of the garage was not working on several occasions so it created gridlock at the gates. We ate at three of the restaurants on site and only can recommend one and that is the Blue Shrimp place, went twice and awesome food and good value both times. The two i would avoid are the Tropical cafe who's food was expensive and tasteless. Go there for bloody mary's in the morning, they were good. Second is CJ's cafe, I have nothing good to say about it. We did the luau here as well and if you're expecting a buffet dinner show you will be happy, that's basically what it was. After we did this we learned of better luaus on the island that should have been considered but they are a little less convenient to get to. All in all this is a good resort and i would recommend it to family and friends.
