Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a peaceful ambiance away from the hustle and bustle of the city, providing a relaxing stay with clean and comfortable rooms. The service was exceptional with helpful staff offering insights into local adventures. The location allows for a serene experience while still being conveniently close to main attractions. Dining options were satisfactory but could be improved. Overall, a good value for a tranquil retreat.

The service is exceptional, with staff going out of their way to make guests feel special. The dining options may need improvement, but the surroundings are stunning with fantastic sunsets. Overall, a lovely place with great service and a tranquil atmosphere.
The hotel offers stunning ocean views from the onsite restaurant, and my room on the vista level provided an exquisite breakfast experience on the sixth floor. The rooms are beautifully furnished with fantastic views, offering a comfortable and scenic stay. Service was top-notch, with friendly, accommodating, and uplifting staff, although some minor inconveniences from external construction took away from the overall enjoyment. The location is breathtaking, with views from every room and proximity to key attractions on Oahu and the North Shore. Dining was perfect for light breakfast eaters, with a lovely selection and options for a satisfying meal experience. The hotel facilities were well-equipped for a pleasant stay.
The hotel is located in a stunning spot on the North Shore of Oahu, directly on the Pacific Ocean shore, offering a romantic and relaxing ambiance with a gorgeous nightly sunset view from the lawn or beach. However, some rooms may be noisy due to children screaming outside, and the distance to the beach is a bit long, so be mindful not to leave anything in the car.
Waking up to rainbows every morning in the amazing spacious rooms with beautiful ocean views was a real treat. The service was friendly and top-notch, although additional charges for small items were a drawback. The location on the North Shore was fantastic, offering a laid-back paradise vibe away from busy Honolulu. Dining was average with limited options, but the Greek traditional products were a nice touch. Overall, a relaxing stay with stunning views and great service.
The hotel offers spectacular views of the sunrise and the cove from the rooms with a large balcony. The staff is friendly and attentive, making for a pleasant stay. The location on the North Shore is matchless, providing a serene atmosphere near beautiful beaches, although some minor maintenance issues occurred. The dining options were not worth the high prices, offering a limited selection. The facilities overall were good, providing a comfortable stay.
I had an amazing time at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and felt like home, offering a great view with a balcony overlooking the surf break and pools over Spring Break. The only downside was that the decor in the room was sparse and uninviting.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with a nice lounging chaise in the room and on the lanai, though there were delays in room servicing. The location is excellent, close to Waimea, Haleiwa, and the Polynesian Cultural Centre, providing a perfect base away from the hustle of Honolulu but still easily accessible to explore the island.
