    we were confirmed for an upgrade that we paid for. when we checked in, we were told it didn’t apply to us. we were sent an email from the hotel offering upgrades. we bought the upgrade and received an email confirmation. the manager was very rude about the situation.

    for such an opulent setting, the rooms are really sparse and the two pillows they give you is like sleeping on concrete.

    Hands down the most gorgeous grounds and pools you will ever experience. best place to take kids with over six waterslides and the best lazy River and rope swing. staff go above and beyond to treat you like royalty. dining at HumuHumu is a must. try the Mac crusted mahi mahi.

    The hotel is under construction and it's been noticed all day long. For this level of hotel and premium price, I'd expect that construction will not impact the stay and definitely not reduce the hotel's available services.

    Great location, good beach access

    Main bar and restaurant was under construction and we weren’t given a heads up, which was disappointing. hotel is showing its age. restaurants are nothing special.

    location was spectacular. pool and beach were also great.

    Rooms and facilities felt a bit tired / dated. Space was great, but the colours, textures, decor etc just felt a bit old, especially for such an expensive stay.

    the setting; the landscaping, the staff were friendly. nice separation of families and adults-only. beach yoga was excellent.

    Limited food menu poolside. Construction took away from the opulence of the hotel but noise wasn’t bothersome so really can’t complain. They only offer valet parking at $65 a night plus tax and tip. I found this upsetting when paying such high nightly hotel rates. This should be included with the room.

    Loved the beach and lazy river. Room was spacious and comfortable with beautiful view of ocean and koi pond beneath our balcony. Comfortable bed. So happy to have a bathtub. Service was excellent.

    I missed experiencing the resort at its best due to construction,. Prices pushed the envelope. Navigating took time to learn, and inevitably a great deal of walking.

    Outstandingly well-kept grounds, superior sculptures (esp Botero &Leger), diversity of uncrowded pools, koi pond below my lanai, friendly bar staff at Humu and Molokini, ideal location.

    The food was awful. It wasn’t that is tasted bad but rather for the price and location all the restraunts available served sub-par food. Hostess and serving staff was great but the menu options and food was terrible. Our room service tasted like burger king, just worse.

    The customer service is through the roof. Really couldn’t have felt more important to the staff. Very friendly and courteous. Some how staff on the grounds were even aware of pur names and greeted as by our names. How weird!

    they provided 2 bottles of water in our room and to refill or buy more($9.00 small bottles) had to walk all the way to lobby at least they can provide 2 bottles of water to each room per day . THIS WAS A$1200.00 PER NIGHT ROOM AND CAN'T EVER PROVIDE WATER BOTTLES . Such a negative impact on me .

    break fast was good . first day employee's were confused took one hour to get my omelets. Finally served cold . Need to pay attention to this kind of stuff .
