Great hotel if you have little ones. Nice to wake up with a beach, small water park, swimming pools, gym, snorkeling, and some restaurants and shops on premise. The hotel is about 30 minutes from Waikiki but has pretty much everything you need. We stopped by Costco and picked up some food to cook and grill. They have 4 grills, you have to check out the grill equipment like tongs etc. Since they are not provided in your room. The workers all seem very friendly and happy, making the stay that much more enjoyable. Valet parking was $37 a night. There's also a little shopping center with a breakfast restaurant, dinner place and of course an ABC store about 10 minute walk away. You can take pictures with the characters by calling 2447 from your hotel phone after 8am to get their appearance schedule. The pool has 2 slides, one you can go in tandem with a tube the other must be done solo. Our 5 year old did both, he was wearing a floaty. Overall we had a great time and our son had a memorable experience. We definitely would like to come back before he out grows it.
