This was the perfect place to stay for our vacation. It was so quiet and peaceful! The lagoon was so calm and our kids could swim with no fear. We went to wakiki honolulu and north shore but all the people id never want to stay there. This location was worth every penny we spent!

This Villa was one of the most exquisite and enjoyable experiences I have had on a vacation. The Villa with 3 bedroom, 3 baths, enormous balcony and more than enough living space for our party of 6 allowed us all to be very comfortable. The resort had a beautiful pool and grounds which we took advantage of every day! The location was perfect as Ko Olina is one of the quieter areas on the island yet within a short drive to everything! Highly recommend the Beach Villas and this unit in particular!

We loved our stay at the Beach Villas at Ko Olina. Our condo was perfect for our family of eight. Shane did a great job of greeting us when we arrived and made sure we had all the details to make our stay a success. We loved the ease of booking this beach view property.

If you’re looking for a quiet escape that’s still conveniently located this is a great option. Lots of beach necessities, great appliances and comfortable (couches, beds, pillows). Those deep soaker tubs are amazing! Sitting on the lanai you can relax and either watch the sun rise or set. Would definitely stay again!

I highly recommend this property. Michael and Susie were easy to communicate with ahead of time. The property manager met us at check-in and explained everything. The layout of the condo and balcony can't be beat. The pool area is fabulous and it's just a few steps away from the beach.

Property is beautiful and right on beach. Having the 3 bedrooms for space is wonderful. I will say the beach supplies ( chair and swim towels) do need some replacements. Also it was a little disappointing that the master bedroom did not have a duvet/comforter between the sheets. Not sure why the other bedrooms did but the master didn't. We went out and purchased a duvet for the bed and new pillows as they ones there also should be replaced and had no substance anymore. Other than that space was perfect for the family. Thank you

This was a really nice space for our group of 6 adults and one toddler. Nice balcony, beautiful space. For families traveling with young kids, the wading pool, pond with koi fish (kids invited to help feed fish 2x/day), and adjacent lagoon beach are all fun amenities. For adults, there are beachside walking/running paths, pools, and a bar in the pool area with drinks, food, live music – and a great view of the sunset.Ample beach gear, including beach chairs, umbrellas, and even snorkels provided. We appreciated the fantastic beach toys and supplies – including a bucket and shovel.The main bedroom closet was big enough to set up the pack-n-play for our toddler (with door cracked and a fan for airflow), which was very convenient. There was even a toddler potty.The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, cutlery, utensils, pots and pans. Note oven issue below.The in-unit washer dryer worked well, and detergent was provided.Negatives: (1) The oven was verrrry slow to pre-heat – an hour to pre-heat to cook fish. (2) Location is inconvenient to Honolulu. The commute is 40 min to 1 hr each way, depending on time of day.

Unit was clean and well-stocked with linens, check in and check out were easy, communicating with hosts was a breeze, no complaints with the villa or hosts at all.
I do have some issues with the property. This was our fourth visit to the Beach Villas, and we had some frustrations. Posted rules were not enforced at the Lagoon Pool: lots of ball throwing, kids on boogie boards and inflatables in the pool, people reserving chairs with towels and then leaving for the beach for hours - generally inconsiderate behavior by fellow pool-users, that property management did not act to discourage. But if you leave a towel to dry on a chair on the balcony of your unit you'll get a note under the door - management was all over that!
Also, while I was very glad to see an extended menu at Makai Hale (the beach bar), there was never more than one bartender staffing the bar, and at peak times the line would be 30+ minutes long. Shout out to Mindy working so hard so many days in a row! Would be nice if the bar could be staffed by more than one person at lunch time.

This 3 bedroom apartment exceeded my expectations. Lovely bedrms with their own bathroom and nicely appointed kitchen. Very clean and welcoming. The balcony overlooked the amazing pool area and we had many meals on it. We were greeted by Shane who is wonderful and responsive. Check-in was a breeze. The apartment had many beach and pool accessories/toys. There was even a stroller in one of the bedroom closets.This side of the island is more remote and quiet but the town of Kapolei is only several minutes away with Costco, Walmart, Target and numerous grocery stores. Highly recommend this apartment.

This condo is great! It was myself, my husband and 3 grown kids (34, 31, 27). The place feels like a resort with the pools and hot tubs. (We did not use the sauna or steam room) The beach/lagoon is perfect! There is no worries about big waves or under tow, just relaxing and the views are gorgeous. The condo itself is good, we had just one problem, the oven took an hour and 45 minutes to preheat twice. It put a damper on preparing dinner. I was going to call maintenance but my daughter heard someone else complaining about it so i didnt bother and we had no real plans to cook again. We walked down to the Marriott Longboards and it was delicious. Our last night we watched the sunset and it was unbelievable. We should have done it alot more. Staying at Ko Olina is a drive any where you might want to go for activities or sight seeing (except their marina, we did a catermran/snorkel trip from Ko Olina marina and it was great), but I knew that going into our vacation. The beach villas is just perfect! I personally can not wait to go again.

The condo is lovely with excellent views. We appreciated the amenities such as beach towels, chairs, etc. Communication was not good between the front desk and our cleaning person who greeted us and got us oriented to the property. We were directed to the wrong parking space and immediately received a ticket citation. The next day we had another ticket on the windshield because one of the car tires was on the white line of the parking stall. We also received a ticket for leaving a towel on the lanai overnight. All of these occurrences were honest mistakes, not intentional. It made it difficult to fully relax and enjoy the property.
The condo and location were fantastic, and the owners had excellent communication. I'm not giving a 5 star rating due to the very small parking spaces and excessive ticketing by the property management. This is in no way a reflection on the owners

We had a wonderful time at the Beach Villas. It is a beautiful location on the beach and a lovely resort. The unit itself was just as photographed, which was amazing. We stayed with our family of 6 adults and 2 babies, it was great that each couple could have their own bedroom and bathroom. Dining was easy as there were enough chairs to eat inside or on the lanai. We enjoyed our stay very much!

We had the absolute best time at this gorgeous property -- our children (ages 10, 12 + 14) loved every second, and so did the adults! We were on a multigenerational trip to celebrate a big 80th birthday, and this was the perfect home away from home. It was so clean, so gorgeous + it had tons of space for everyone to relax + enjoy. We loved the big patio with gorgeous views, the well-appointed kitchen, the closet full of ANYTHING we could have needed (beach chairs! sand toys! umbrellas! a cooler! rafts!)...it was truly a week in paradise. From the beautiful pools to the stunning beaches + lagoons, we couldn't believe how everything was so well-kept and lovely. Our kids cried when we left! Everyone who worked there was so kind too -- check-in and check-out were easy + we were given a helpful overview of the property. We will be back -- don't hesitate to book this gorgeous rental on an absolutely incredible location. One of our favorite rentals ever!

We had no problems with booking or any communication. Staff at the location was wonderful and the owners communicated well and returned messages promptly. The actual condo was fantastic and had tons of room. We had 6 adults and a 5 year old. There was beach items and child items along with towels for us all. The views were amazing and we were at the pool daily. There’s only 2 minor downsides but neither are really bad just things we found out along the way. 1- there are 2 parking spots which is nice however it’s kind of hard getting in the first one as it’s right by the entrance/exit of the parking garage. Thankfully the spots near it were empty which made it easier to park. 2- if you plan to do anything near Waikiki or downtown for sure do it early as we found out traffic starts around 2:30pm and is practically a stand still. Check in and check out was great and Louie who helped take our bags and was able to answer questions was fantastic!!! If we visit again we will stay here!!!

This 5th floor pool and ocean view villa has a beautiful view. It was nice having a full table on the deck so we could eat outside and play games.

Really glad we booked this property for our 10 day stay. Spacious unit and well stocked with all the kitchen essentials. Unit overlooks both pool and beach. Resort is “off the beaten patch” yet seemingly close to everything we would need or do.
Pros:
* Well stocked unit. Kitchen had everything we needed to have breakfast and lunch in the unit. This probably saved us several hundred dollars eating out.
* Large bathrooms.
* Comfortable beds.
* Quiet interior - with doors closed very little outside noise.
* Resort with semi private beach / lagoon.
* Pool bar (bring your credit cart - it ain’t cheap). I will say they are quite generous when pouring, however
* Big TV.
* Golf and water sports nearby.
Cons:
* Kids at pool rule the roost. With Disney resort next door I was surprised at the number of kids under 10. They screeched non-stop and their parents just looked on smiling while quaffing another drink. Thankfully the “quiet pool” disallowed kids.
* Unit is a little dated in terms of furniture and decor. Don’t get me wrong, it was still pleasant - just needs some refreshing.
Would I return? Absolutely yes. 10/10 despite the brats.

Many reviews focus on the family experience but I will share how great this was for 5 adults. As many have said, the unit is excellent. Spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, kitchen with great amenities and great dining room furniture. The Lanai overlooks the lagoon pool which is just over the top fabulous for adults and children. There are all of these connected little coves in the pool that there could have been thirty people in there but you feel like its just you and your friends. Hot tubs are integrated into the pool and it even has a sandy beach section of the pool. Steps away from the pool is the Hale Bar which has great drinks for the adults but also tons of lunch and snacky food options for the kids. Then, the beach lagoon. Oh my Barb. Words can't describe adequately. An outer semicircle of soft grass in the shade of palm trees followed by 40 feet of clean sand lead to water that is gentle and warm for swim, float or snorkeling. The resort has beautiful well maintained landscaping throughout and looks like paradise. Nearby, there are a ton of adult fun options. A Monkeypod, Roy's and shops and stores all walking distance were fantastic. We also played Ko Olina Golf Course which is beautiful and not too difficult. And, since the Disney resort is next door and since we are those people, we booked the character breakfast and visited Mickey and Friends. Costco/Walmart 2 miles away. I could go on and on but am limited on space. Awesome property!

We really enjoyed staying at the Beach Villas at Koolina. The pictures could not capture the beauty of the place! We did have a couple hiccups during check in. When I called the contact person to see if we could store our bags early knowing that our check in wasn’t until a few hours later, we were told that it wasn’t a problem and someone would meet me there to handle the bags. The person that was supposed to meet me there didn’t show, but it wasn’t that huge a deal. We were also told our check in would be at 4 but when we were brought up by our guide the cleaning crew was still in deep clean mode. We waited another 30-40 minutes downstairs until they finished up. Again, not a huge deal but something that did come up. Other than that, the place was clean, stocked nicely, in a beautiful location, and we loved waking up and eating on the balcony overlooking the ocean. Definitely recommend!

We were so thrilled with our villa and the property! We had different kid, age ranges and adults, and there was some thing for everyone to do! The room had everything we needed in it plus more! The view was absolutely gorgeous. The pool was stunning and the pond area was so much fun! There was even someone there to rent paddle boards, and that was a blast! Would definitely recommend, and would stay here again, in the future!

We truly loved this property. So much space space for 7 people, the beds were extremely comfortable and closet was well stocked with beach chairs and toys.

Great condo! We brought our three children (17, 18, 21) and loved that the master wing and guest wings were on opposite sides. It gave everyone the privacy they needed. The condo was beautiful and clean. We loved being able to eat breakfast or make sandwiches and eat on the balcony. The condo also had chairs, a boogie board, a cooler, beach toys, etc. Everything you would need.

The villa was the perfect place for our vacation. There was plenty of space for 7 adults. The place was clean, the beds were comfortable, the water pressure in the showers were great, and the kitchen was equipped with all the things we needed to cook breakfast daily. There was plenty of seating in the lanai for all 7 of us and we loved sitting there each morning with a cup of coffee and breakfast. The lanai overlooks the pool and also a great view of the lagoon/ocean. The villa also has beach chairs and towels provided which made it convenient to go to the pool or out to the lagoon. There are a few restaurants, shops, and a grocery store within about a half mile from the villas. It was nice to be able to walk there to pick up a few things from the store or get ice cream from Black Sheep Cream Co. We loved the ice cream so much we went 3 times during our trip! It was also easy to drive to other areas on the island, although there is some traffic during the usual morning/afternoon rush hour. Ko Olina is a great area for families or anyone looking for a relaxing and peaceful vacation. I highly recommend staying in the villa if you want the comforts of home during your vacation.

My family and I (6 of us) stayed at this property for 6 days and the property exceeded our expectations.
As for the condo, it was clean, very spacious, with nice amenities. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, along with a few seasonings / oils to cook with. There's also quite a few beach / pool toys and chairs in the closet which was an added plus. We enjoyed the spacious lanai and ate most of our meals out there. The view was gorgeous and peaceful.
The condo is perfectly located in the Beach Tower which in my opinion has the best view of the beach, pool and lagoon. It's situated in between Aulani and the Marriot. The wonderful thing about these condos is that it's not nearly as crowded as the other locations. We were able to enjoy the restaurants and shopping at the other hotels, and then walk back to our peaceful condo, which was very nice.
Overall, our stay was absolutely wonderful. The only slight complain I have is that check in was supposed to be at 4pm, but the condo wasn't ready until after 5:00p.m. It wasn't a huge problem, but we had an early flight, and the kids were ready to check in and get settled. The staff were great, very nice and assisted us with whatever we needed. Again, this location is a hidden gem, and we look forward to staying here again the future.

We were a group of 6, three couples (all over the age of 53) and we loved our stay here in Ko Olina in this condo. Having three bedrooms with three washrooms was perfect for our group. The best part of the condo was the lanai. We had the doors open whenever we were there - the view is breathtaking. Some people in previous comments were not happy with the 'brown land' looking out in the distance. We thought just the opposite - so much better than having a building close by - there was nothing blocking our view from the ocean and palm trees. There were a few things that needed attending to and we got pretty quick service from the owner. We would definitely recommend this condo and would be very happy to return one day.

The location was Beautiful, it’s a drive and with traffic it takes a Very Very long time to get there. Once there the property managers were some what nice, but very Unaccommodating when it came to questions and parking. Had a Full size Suburban and had me park in the very small garage, when I asked for another spot was treated rudely. There “security” is a joke they tag you for violations when it comes to parking but they (security vehicle)parks in handicap parking and nothing is done. I brought this to management attention and they just surged it off as in “oh well”. So I complained that I was tagged for a big vehicle trying to park in small spot, but you guys can violate and it’s no big deal.
Owners of property did not communicate at all sent them several (meanin 3 or 4) messages and got nothing back. But their place is super nice, very clean, with a great view. Over all rating a 3 out of 5 just because of distance traffic property management and lack of communication with owners. View , condo, 5. But 0 stars cause bar pool and hot tube close at 9pm every night…. So no socializing. Pool is not heated during winter and the beach/lagoon sand was not kept clean of garbage or debris….

We had a great stay here. Susie and the property staff were all great and a huge help. Check-in was easy and the communication leading up to it was seamless.
The property has all the amenities you would need for a family vacation. The kids loved the pool and lagoon being in such close proximity. Attached + assigned parking made it easy to travel around the Ko Olina area. The unit was extremely spacious with a great balcony to hang out on and enjoy the views. They also had plenty of beach and family items stocked which made things that much more convenient.
The location was great. There was plenty of walkable restaurants and stores, and even more just a short drive away.
Susie was very accommodating to our schedule which was a huge life-saver, as we were traveling with our little one for the first time and the airline threw us a few curveballs.
Overall stress-free and a great time. Such a great value especially compared to the neighboring properties. Highly recommended!

Our older grandson slept in the great room sofa bed. We were on the other side in the master bedroom. We were able to cook and enjoy our meals on the great balcony with enough seating for all. Plenty of cookware and dishes in the kitchen. The master closet had a cooler, kick boards, beach toys and beach chairs. A picture of items for the beach would enhance the listing. The view from the balcony was picture perfect.

We completly enjoyed Ko'Olina the property was beautiful. Perfect for my Adult kids and I. The 5 of us enjoyed the beach and Hot tubs a few times but never the pool ( I mean the beach is right there). There are a number of fish to be spotted in the cove and we enjoyed our snokle gear. Host didnt mention but there are several supplies right in their closet kids sand toys some floaties and chairs we used the chairs also think i spotted a couple of coolers there. The condo was convinent to all the activies we had planned and well appointed with all the things you need on your stay. Would definately recommend the host and the Condo. We loved it.

Our stay was great except for some minor things. The view was amazing! The condo was fully stocked with kitchen supplies, had plenty of swim toys, chairs, beach towels, umbrella, paddle boards, even a cooler! The only thing that I would think they should replace is the disgusting broom. With no daily service, we swept the floors ourselves with this really old broom that had mostly pieces of bristles sticking up and not down. They did have a little tiny brush i ended up using. Dishwasher & garbage disposal broke, and they fixed it the same day! Awesome service! The view was perfect and watching the sunrise and sunset from the balcony was the BEST! We can’t wait to come back!

For us, the Beach Villa was perfect; it was far from crowds and had nearby groceries, the lagoons at Ko Olina are gorgeous and the grounds are kept Green and clean! We didn’t know we would have a large brown spot to overlook, but there was so much other beauty it didn’t matter. We could still see the lagoon pool and parts of the beach from our condo. The owners were receptive and staff helpful. Someone even left coffee so we had enough for the first morning. The pools were not too crowded and kept nice. The condo was spacious and had everything we needed in all the rooms. We had a great stay!

First of all Susie was very easy to work with! The staff at Ko Olina Resort were very friendly and helpful, they booked our excursions for a Dolphin Swim, Shark Encounter, and Paradise Cove Luau.
This Condo was perfect for our family of 5 with 3 teenagers, the boys shared a room and had their own bathroom and our daughter had her own room with her own bathroom and they were on the opposite side of the condo from the master suite.
The condo was very quiet, clean, was exactly as listed and the kitchen was well equipped. I loved the lanai with the sliding glass doors that opened up the entire length of the wall which was an extention to the main kitchen/living area.
My favorite thing in the morning was to sit out on the Lanai with a cup of coffee/breakfast and enjoy the morning sun and view.
In my opinion the location was perfect, the entire Ko Olina area was very pretty and it was far enough away from the busy city with easy access to the highway to get anywhere on the island. Costco and Safeway were only 10 minutes away and we pretty much BBQ'ed and ate all our meals in our condo, with an exception if we were out on our excursions. We took a evening walk with up the road with other adult friends and had drinks at the Monkey Pod restaurant in the little shopping center, where there is an ABC store with grocery items as well. We never made it the Disney Resort to eat at their restaurants, we too busy relaxing.
The Laggon was perfect, you could just float out there on a floaty and didn't have to worry about the kids and the waves. On Friday and Saturdays you can rent kayaks or paddle boards, that was fun!
We did not end up using the workout room, but my husband took advantage and did his morning runs along the pathed beach and around the resorts.
Paradise Cove is just a couple of lagoons up and there is sea turtles that swim right up to you, amazing!
As far as the pool the main desk provided pool towels, but the pool set up was hard for larger familes or groups and there were never enough lounge chairs.
The bar staff was very friendly and you could do a room charge if needed.
The only thing that could improve would to have more bath towels in the unit and another flat screen TV in the back bedroom.
I would definantly rent this unit again, recomend it to friends/famliy, and would be interested in other Hawaii Premier Rentals on the other Islands. Susie was so friendly and easy to work with.
Thanks for a great stay, it was so hard to leave!

My family and I stayed here for 12 days and we found everything exactly as advertised. The unit is without question closest to the beach ( with the exception of the oceanfront endcap units ), expertly appopinted and very clean. The Beach Villas sit between the new Disney Aulani resort and the enormous Marriott Beach Club. In addition to these two, the JW Marriott is also on the lagoons and all are accessible via the walking trails that connect each of the resorts in the master planned community. Easily the quietest of the 4 choices when staying at Ko Olina, you never feel isolated and can always access any of the other resorts for dining, shopping or just walking around. The lagoons are perfect for families with smaller children and there are watersport rentals for use throughout the day, although the unit comes with a few items that you can drag down yourself - chairs, a couple of snorkle sets, beach toys. The staff was always very pleasant throughout and Suzie was a tremendous help when it came to booking, immediately addressing each and every question we had.
The only downsides I could see were few and far between, one being that the onsite bar overlooking the lagoon closed at 7:30 - wish it had stayed open longer. The spas at the pool are still inoperable and there's not a TV in the 3rd bedroom - this should be remedied. The AC really isn't all that effective, although the temperatures are generally so mild with a light breeze so it's fine. All in all, these things almost seem like nitpicking because it is such a perfect place for a family to stay. We would not hesitate to book the exact same unit again.

We made a spur of the moment family trip to Oahu and were delighted we found this unit. We had looked at staying other places on Oahu, including the Disney Aulani resort but this offered most of the same experience with all the comfort and convenience of a well furnished unit with beautiful ocean views. Everyone had their own bedroom en suite, which was very convenient and the layout of the unit gave us great privacy both within the unit and from neighbors.
Susie was very nice to work with and one big plus with this unit is that it did include full use of the workout facility-apparently there is some sort of management dispute and many of the other units do not include this, so pls be aware. Before you rush off to purchase beach toys, etc be sure to check the unit as it is very well supplied. We would also recommend this as it is in Beach Tower, which is definitely much closer to the lagoon and water.
The staff at KoOlina were also very pleasant and friendly-there were some ongoing challenges with the outdoor barbeque units(electric starters not functioning well and the barbeques are not well placed considering the considerable winds that can come up in the evening) but the folks were always very responsive.
We definitely plan to return to Oahu and to rent this unit again.

Our family included two boys ages 11 and 14, two in our 40's and two grandparents. This villa was the perfect fit for everyone. The boys had their own room with twin beds and a bathroom that was self-contained. It was like their own mini-apartment. They enjoyed the beach toys, chairs and mats that had been left by previous guests while swimming in the lagoon. Plus there were floaties and noodles for in the pool. We were glad we brought our snorkel gear as the fish and turtles were active everyday we swam. My husband and I loved being able to watch the boys in the pool from the lania and also enjoyed the poolside bar where the staff was extremely friendly. My husband and I took the smallest bed bath combo but it was still more than adequate and this allowed my parents to have the master which was once again like a mini apartment. When they needed a break from the kids they could retire to their room and watch tv or just enjoy the view off their private lanai. We cooked most of our meals in utilizing both the poolside grills and the wonderful oven and stove. I would suggest checking out what is in the villa before doing your grocery shopping. I know we left groceries behind and we enjoyed things others had left before us. There is a Safeway not too far away which worked best for us. The unit is on the end of the tower nearset the ocean giving you wonderful views and because of how it's situatied you do not get the hot afternoon sun allowing you to use the lanai all day. The golf course is wonderful and family friendly, there are several restaurants in the complex and the Ko Olina Ocean Adventures catamaran tour out of the marina was wonderful. We visited Two Sccops ice cream shop several times and the Village Market was great for those last minutes items you needed. There are wonderful walking trails that my parents especially enjoyed with views of the ocean the entire time. It is also easy to get to other places on the island with a quick entrance to the highway. It was the prefect place for our mixed generations family and we would visit again in a heartbeat.

We fell in love with this condo immediately upon our arrival. Gabriella was soooooo helpful about shopping near by, friendly, and answered any questions that we had regarding the condo. She explained every little detail about the home and told us to call her at anytime with any questions that may have come up. We loved the three lagoons and being at the beach was wonderful for the kids. The condo premises were immaculate throughout our stay and the people very friendly. I expected noise from the neighbours but was pleasantly suprised when there was none. We had 2 families of 4 each and there was lots of space to spread out. The open deck concept was by far my favorite. I would sit out there in the morning with my coffee and watch the beach and condo complex wake to a new day; it was so peaceful. At night we would sit on the deck and enjoy a glass of wine and enjoy the scenery. The condo itself was immaculate, spotless, all the essentials of home, and state of the art everything. The flow of the condo worked well with two families and we never felt crowded. Would I return here if we planned another trip to Oahu....Absolutely. I've already told the owner we plan on returning in the winter of 2014 and we will definately book this home for our home away from home.
P.S. It does't hurt having the Disney resort as your neighbour either. We had a great breakfast with Mickey and Minney...our kids are still talking about the trip, when we can go back and stay in our new house...Hahaha!

I wanted to give my growing family an incredible memory to treasure as a legacy. Staying at this condo exceeded our expectations. I had 6 adults and 2 grandbabies. Everything was absolutely wonderful. The kitchen was premier. We all enjoyed the view of the pool, lagoon, and the ocean from the lanai. We had hot domino games in the lanai while we enjoyed the magnificent sunset. There was a wading pool with pebbles for the grandchildren and a koi pool. Everyone had their own space. My family did not want to leave and wanted to know when we could return. I believe that says it all!! The owner and cleaning services were a joy to work with regarding making the arrangements. I highly recommend staying at this condo.

I would hightly recommend the KoOlina Beach Villas, and in particular this condo. The villa was beautiful, very clean, and well equiped meeting all of our needs. As a family of 8 (6 adults and 2 children) we found the condo to be spacious with plenty of room for everyone. The area is quiet and relaxing, yet close enough to all the activities on the island. Checking in and out was very easy and Susie was great to work with, always answering my many questions in a timely fashion. We all loved the pools and lagoons for swimming. I would not hesitate for a minute to stay again at this condo and would certainly recommend this to friends and family.

We had big family reunion (my family and my in-laws) here in May 2011 and it was just so perfect. I had numerous questions to Susie while I decide lodgings and before I head there but she was absolutely ready to answer all the questions I had, esp so fast and kindly.
When we arrived there it was A LOT more beautiful than the photos above (Susie, you need to hire a photographer and retake your beautiful resort! Let me know if you need one.) I'm sure you all know that how important the resort/hotel is when you are traveling - at least for me, I care a lot where I relax after spending days with different activities. This resort is decorated very nicely and really spacious (we were 6 adults and 2 hcild) and my favorite was the had balcony I have to say. the BEST balcony I've ever had in the resorts; very open and relaxing place!
I highly highly recommend this place for any couples and families! Thanks Susie!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for our young family, 2 and 5 yrs old. The tranquility of the lagoons made for great beach fun for our girls with lots of grassy areas to run around. The villa was magnificent. Everything was exactly as described and looked just like the pictures. This definitely makes travel with young kids a pleasure. The pools were interesting and well maintained. Susie was very helpful and responded promptly to any inquiries. We have been highly recommending this place to our friends. We would definitely come back again.
