Splurged for the amenities
The condo was absolutely lovely, had everything you could need. It was extremely clean also, which is incredibly important to me when traveling. However, this condo was very much a splurge for us. We went for it because of the amenities- we wanted a kitchen with a grill, fitness center, and nice pools.
My issue with this is, while yes there is a fitness center, unfortunately it’s incredibly small and doesn’t open until 8am and they do not share the wifi. So it became useless to us, we like to be out of the gym and on with our day by 8am. And the cell service in the area is awful (Verizon) so it was a very boring/silent workout. Same situation with the pool. Also, it’s supposed to be quite- kids are supposed to stay chill. Some parents were great about it, others not so much and no one from the condo enforced it.
Also, communication with ResorticaHawaii was good- they are only available from 9-5, M-F so if you have non-emergency questions outside of that time, you’re out of luck..not ideal for hospitality. So while it was a beautiful condo, I would choose not to stay again simply because the amenities do not make up for the cost. One last thing to be aware of (also mentioned in the listing) there are three flights of stairs and no elevator. As a young, fit couple this even became a lot of work for us..lugging things (luggage, beach gear, groceries) became an annoying inconvenience. Wouldn’t want to do it with young kids, older adults, or those with physical disabilities.
