"What fun ? loved all the attention to detail at this retro Hawaiian hotel from the beautiful framed portrait art in my room, tiki mugs, bar cart and super comfortable king bed to the fringed pool umbrellas, waterfalls with huge gorgeous carp which we got to feed in the morning to the Artomatic machine in the lobby to room 8 -don't even get me started lol I also wanted to mention upon arrival I received wonderful service at the front desk from Randy and RJ on the day I checked out after forgetting my phone in the room both of them were so helpful and full of the Aloha spirit which I really appreciated!!
