Beach Villas at Ko Olina AOAO

Bewertungen
This was a wonderful place for our vacation. We were looking for accommodation suitable for a family with a child and grandparents, and this option turned out to be the perfect fit. The grounds are beautiful, clean, and very well maintained. There are pools for both adults and children, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We especially loved the live music from Thursday to Saturday—it created a great atmosphere. Our unit was spacious, with a large balcony and very comfortable mattresses. The lagoon option is ideal for families with kids, and the beach is clean and not crowded, which we really appreciated. In the evenings, it was lovely to take walks along the lagoons. It’s also conveniently located—about a 35-minute drive from Honolulu Airport, or around 45–50 minutes during peak traffic.
What a fantastic place to stay. Our host was great. We had 4 adults and 2 kids. Fit everyone and all of our stuff with plenty of room. The best part was definitely the view. We were 6th floor so unobstructed view of the little bay.
Stingy. The main pool isn’t heated and is too cold to swim in. No room service unless you pay extra, even for long stays. Part way through the trip we asked for another bar of soap and they wouldn’t give it to us. After we checked out, we had an hour to kill before our shuttle, and they wouldn’t let us hang out on the pool deck or use any facilities during that hour - we were only allowed to wait in the lobby. Hotel room layout is weird and kitchen supplies are very old and scratched. Pretty disappointing for a 4-star hotel - definitely not worth what we paid.
We had a really nice stay at this resort on our first visit. Overall, it was a great experience. The property was clean and well-maintained, and the staff was consistently friendly and welcoming. While there isn’t an on-site restaurant or store, the drink shack was a convenient and enjoyable touch for grabbing refreshments. One thing to note is that the pool was quite cold during our stay, which may be something to keep in mind depending on the time of year. Aside from that, we had a great time.
If you're looking for a change of pace from the crowded pools of Aulani, just stay at the Beach Villas. They have dedicated quiet areas and the 2nd lagoon is so chill. There are still plenty of people having fun, kids enjoying all the amenities, its just quieter, not as packed. The walkability was still there. We still went to Aulani for a couple meals and to see the characters, you just cant swim on the property. The airbnb we booked came with chairs, sports equipment, sandcastle toys, boogie boards, pool noodles, and much more. We had a kitchen too, we went to Costco right after we landed and got everything we needed for our weeks worth of meals. There are two pools and 3 large spas on property. 2 min walk thru the pool area to get to the lagoon. Very convenient. We had a great time!
