Beach crime but good time. The only bad part of the trip was almost getting robbed on the beach. We had rented an umbrella and chairs on the beach. While were in the water someone tried to steal our beach bag. We stopped the thief in action, it was a really old really drunk lady who looks to have lived a challenging life.

The hotel staff let her go since we got our stuff back. So be careful on the beach and get one of those locking beach safe bags. A manager was supposed to talk to us afterwards but that didn't happen.

Now for the good parts- the hotel is beautiful, and the grounds are wonderful. Our room was small but still comfortable. The beds were great, room got cold, and the balcony afforded us an amazing view of the ocean. We were in the new tower and it comes with breakfast and snacks, juice and coffee are available in the lounge area. That saves you a lot since food is really expensive in Honolulu.

The hotel grounds are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. The plants are amazing and there is a floral scent that envelops you. I think it's jasmine, but I'm not sure. Take a lot of pictures.

The beach is busy, but beautiful. Diamond here is always visible, and you get to watch the sunset in the most spectacular fashion.
