Being from Hawaii, I KNOW where to and not to stay. If you are not honeymooning, the two main priorites should be location and service. You want access to everything by foot or car and the staff needs to be as friendly as your neighbors back home. I thought things would be higher due to the rising price of fuel, but our total package was less than last year. Don't know about the rest of you, but I KNOW where we'll be staying at next year!

our first room had tiny ants in it and the second room had some kind of bugs, pretty much one every couple of days. The bed was not comfortable, the pool was ice cold and they were painting and renovating out there so it was noisy and had sections roped off, there was no lei greeting and for the amount of money we paid for one of their top rooms its bad. There was also no mention of them doing a bunch of renovating. We also talked to at least 3-4 diffrent people who felt the same way and said they would never stay there again. We were really disappointed. There was one girl at the front desk who was great as was also the guy in the tour shop. The only thing that was nice is it's in a good location. We ended up deciding on this hotel because of the reviews that were left which we found didn't live up to the reality of it.

This was our first trip to Hawaii.We enjoyed our stay at the Miramar,close to shopping and a short walk to the beach.Had a little trouble with hot water at certain times but I think it was because everyone else was showering in the morning.Dont miss the hula show Friday hight by the pool it was alot of fun,and the Mai-Tais were great.Will be goin back next year but may spend a little extra and go with a hotel right on the beach.

Great value for the price. Location is teriffic. Personnel amiable and helpful. Not the spiffiest rooms but very clean and comfortable. A very good value.

Ordered room with two beds and they gave us a twin, double, twin room. Talked to front desk and they quickly changed rooms to two doubles. A couple blocks from the beach, well within walking distance. About what I expected for middle end price range. Would stay again.
