Frommer's Highly Recommended

New ownership and management of this 10-acre property, located next door to a 57-acre beach park and playground on one side and a very sacred historical Hawaiian site on the other side, has brought back the feeling of Old Hawaii at this moderately priced resort. After a $10-million renovation, the entire property is rich in Hawaiian culture from the historical presentation given by the general manager himself to the decor of the rooms to the fulltime kupuna (senior cultural expert) who gives classes to the guests in Hawaiian arts and crafts. Every room has been renovated with new carpet and furniture in 2006 with oversize Balinese mahogany doors, upgraded bathrooms, and Hawaiian-style quilts on the beds. The result is a family-friendly choice located right next door to Lydgate Beach Park (with Kamalani Playground for the kids) and convenient to nearby golf. Restaurants and shopping are within minutes of the resort along the Coconut Coast.
