Lapakahi State Historical Park

Pros: Staff was very nice and helpful. Although there is no room service, you can easily call/text them with anything you need/request. Beautiful property that overlooks the mountains and golf course. Great bang for your buck. Will stay again.

Beautiful resort - peaceful beach, quiet rooms, multiple options for relaxing in the sun and/or shade and accessing water for a cool dip. The Canoe restaurant is absurdly overpriced. A glass of cab wine for $38 and standard cocktails at $27? We easily hit $450 after tip for two people. Good luck finding an ice machine - one per floor and hidden away in a staff only closet. The beach scene is wonderful - as was the beach waitstaff. The early morning water excursions were great. Skip the Luau - it felt like a large format wedding tucked back behind the hotel away from the water/no view of the sunset. However, if you really want the luau experience, pay up for the VIP tickets for superior seating and open bar.

Great location. Beach access, pool/hot tub options, and close to shopping. Always a great stay.
