We thoroughly enjoyed the villa, the resort and all its facilities and the surrounding activities - restaurants, golf, services, etc. We were pleasantly surprised to find most businesses and especially restaurants operating and available for our enjoyment, unlike most of the businesses in Honolulu and Waikiki during our stay, and LA County where we live.
The villa was spacious and contained all the amenities expected of a 1st-class resort tower. The unit is perfectly located with views of the ocean and especially the nightly sunset. All facilities were operating while respecting the COVID concerns - the fitness center with controlled occupancy, the pools and beach/lagoon. Additionally, the neighboring resort properties - Marriott and Aulani - were also in full operation and available for use.
This was our first Christmas other than at home, but with our family gathered together in paradise, it was the perfect opportunity to spend with our daughter (whose in Oahu on a 2-year teaching assignment) and celebrate the holiday with an escape from So. California after 9 long months of staying at home. Well worth the hoops required for negative testing prior to arrival and we'll definitely return to this property in the future.
