This place is over the top! Service A+, GORGEOUS views. I think all rooms are ocean facing, some just closer or higher. So quiet at night and you can see lots of stars. Nice gentle beach. Luxury rooms. Only complaint there was a 6.0 earthquake! Haha

Real pros and cons here! We had stayed at the Hapuna many times when it was a Prince property. Amazing setting on the best beach. The building is solid so the rooms are pretty quiet, but it was run down, so we were very excited to go back now that it is a Westin property. The rooms are fine/standard Westin, and the pool upgrades and improved restaurants are a plus. BUT if you care about an ocean view be aware that the front row building closest to the Mauna Kea were sold as a condo building, and the roof is now light with air conditioning vents etc. Our premiere ocean view (on the 8th of 9 floors) had a strip of ocean, but the ugly roof kinda ruined it. The staff was very understanding and we're able to move us to the other side of the building. This is just very sad as it hurt the amazing view of so many rooms, and this beach is epic. Hopefully, they can plant a roof garden or something to improve this. Staff overall very friendly and helpful and for Hawaii it was a good value, except the expensive daily self park fee on top of the resort fee, which should be reconsidered.

My wife and I enjoyed this hotel very much. Every interaction with the staff was friendly and professional. The hotel grounds were beautiful. We spent a lot of time relaxing at the adult pool; pool service was outstanding. Finally, we ate at two of the on-site restaurants and enjoyed our meal at both. All in all, we had a terrific stay and would not hesitate to return.
