Great resort near a beautiful beach. We were in town visiting friends. The resort was perfect for us. The one bedroom unit allowed us to have the extra space we desired and great common areas. Very nice pool!

We loved the location...an easy walk over to the beach. The apartment had a well stocked kitchen...and the hot spa tub was a hit with my son. The property and the units had great beach-themed art. We were only there one night but could easily have stayed longer.

Waipu Cove Resort.

Very clean, only problem was a faulty TV but the managers replaced it immediately. Unit would be better with a small coffee table. Heated pool & spa pool great.
