"This Resort doesn't pretend to be something it is not. If you're looking for luxury, you'll be a bit disappointed. But if you're looking for an "old school" beach front resort with everything you need for a great vacation, you cannot beat the Lani Kai. This family owned resort has been here since the 70's. Like the rest of the island, it suffered a direct hit from IAN in 2022 but they have bounced back. Updated rooms, all beach facing with balonies, several restaurants to choose from, chair and umbrella rental and a super staff that will do everything possible to please their guests. The owner works the beach front bar! Gracie's Italian Bistro was a total surprise! Great Food and exceptional service from Christopher and Ann Marie, We had breakfast and lunch at the resort several times during our stay. The only disappointment was probably the pool. Its tucked away from the beach at street level and not at all welcoming. But not too worry, if you're looking for a pool scene, check out the Lighthouse and Tiki Bar only a short walk from the resort. There is a nice little gift shop and also little outside vendors that have spaces on the ground floor. Our room was large and had a little kitchenette. The bed was comfortable. We loved the location and will come back in the future!"
