8/10 Good
"Hate even to complain because one should be so lucky to stay at this resort and in a fully updated suite (2-bed, 2-bath, Full Kitchen and Living Room in Hawaii. One complaint would be the amount of walking since the boats aren’t in operation and only one tram operating that takes 45mins if you miss it as it pulls away. We like getting our steps in though but maybe not so much if my older parents were with us. Shopping onsite, restaurants were great (being from SoCal we are use to the high costs), and honestly so cool to have both King and Queens Marketplaces so close. A-Beach is also awesome, mellow, and great ocean front. I would never not rent a car. Book and Enjoy at your own risk :)"
