we ended up here during the off season and they were very few people around, had the place to ourselves. There was some construction as they are adding a 3rd, 4th floor, but the workers didn't start till later, and we didn 't hear much when we were in the room. But then we headed to the beach, where all the shops and activities were, which was only a quick walk across the pathway , then open white sandy beach that they raked early in the morning so it was nice and clean. Close to some shopping a few blocks from the water, every thing we needed. Breakfast was included, so we had eggs, beans, and a fruit plate, with fresh cut watermelon , cantalope, apples and grapes with yogurt. There was a security guard around at all time, and was very friendly and spoke English (lived in USA for a time in his younger day). Felt very safe. Even had a small safe in the room for our passports and cash. We spent mostly USA dollars, and got change back in HNL (their local currency) , so take plenty of smaller US dollars, 5/10/20's, tipping is essential for their economy.
