Gleaming white spires and tiled archways are the hallmark of this stunning resort that's particularly good for families; the spacious suites have comfortable furnishings and come with microwaves, stereos, and marble bathrooms. The villas are the real lure, though. Each is a two-story structure with a private plunge pool, two (or three) large bedrooms, a laundry room, and a fully equipped kitchen—barbecue and margarita blender included. Best of all, housekeepers do the dishes. A fantastic haven for families, the villas are side by side, creating a sort of miniature neighborhood. Request one on the end, with an upstairs sundeck. The resort also has a recently renovated restaurant, Ko, and a small, almost private beach.

The hotel rooms are huge and the bathrooms so large that 3 women managed to put on their make-up at the same time!!! The front desk does everything it can to make your stay special and the hotel restaurant "Cafe Ciao" could not be better. There is beautiful grassy spaces and the chairs/cabanas are not packed together as in the other hotels. Views are perfect. You won't be disappointed.

We love Hawaii. Second Trip to Maui. The resort was beautiful and the rooms were very nice, with large marble bathrooms. Scuba lessons at the pool were a hit. Separate pool for families was nice. Beach area was smaller than expected and often crowded. Everything you need is right there at the resort -including restaurants; however, food at the resort didn't live up to expectations. Princeville on Kauai is still our favorite. Would go back, but might try another resort next time.

For close to $500 you too can have a view of the parking lot. It was Christmas and we booked late but still. Another mega-resort crawling with people. If you're looking for quiet and contemplation in the mystical setting of Hawaii, this is not the place for you. small beach, small pool, crowded restaurants and really ugly architecture. However, it's near the mall -- which is where most of the guests have come from.

Loved everything but the fitness center which is way too small. The suites are wonderful with full ocean views and the food is delicious. Loved the little cafe for tea, sandwiches or whatever. Definitely will return soon.

Hotel lobby is beautiful. Corridors to the rooms and the rooms themselves do not measure up to the lobby. Rooms are good size, but the furniture is a little worn. Rates are expensive, but what isn't on Maui. Onsite restaurant food is very good, but again expensive. Parking can be a bit tight. Hotel beach is OK, especially for little kids, but Big Beach down the road is much more scenic. Pool area is adequate, with a small water slide for the kids.
