The location was great! Our king suite was spacious and the view was I’m outstanding!

It was under renovation. I understand this is necessary and given the whole area is under renovation, due to hurricanes. But, it should be made incredibly clear to potential guests if major amenities, like the pool in this case, are not available. I booked this place for no reason other than the pool, as I was traveling with 3 children that like to swim. It is still marketed on this website as having a pool. They should change that. That’s my only complaint. Other that, the place was great!

Breakfast was great so was the service. Grace’s dinner wS also very good. Loved that there were multiple places to get food there and that you also had Little gift shops and a bar and an ice cream shop. It really has everything. I guess I just missed the upper deck being finished, but I will check it out next time I visit!

There were two things I didn’t like, number one I think I just had bad luck of having a noisy party attached to me and doors that need to be closed off. Also, I did get used to the music playing outside and it wasn’t so bad after a while The second thing I didn’t like is I thought maybe they should clean the elevators more often but maybe that’s a hard thing to keep up with overall the place was great and I would recommend it to my friends and family.

Overall our stay was great. Your rebuild efforts were mammoth, well executed and very strong. Your check-in (excluding Ronnel - didn't seem to want to be there) patio, and bar staff were fantastic! Beds and pillows were super comfortable. We just really love coming to Lani Kai - super chill and just so easy and laid back - THANK YOU!

A little disappointed as I booked through booking.com and selected a room that has a table and two chairs (2 rooms same pictures) only to find out one of the rooms did not have the table and chairs. There is PLENTY of room for the table and chairs but was told they are only in certain level rooms (but I selected the room from the picture reflecting the table and chairs). They said they had an EXTRA set and just put it in room 116 - come on now. Non guests (no bracelets) in the pool on Saturday - quite a few. Need more food options after 8 and closing the cafe (happy hour & dinner) for weddings really effects hotel guests. Happy hour should be at the bars. Hold-bars in the showers would be helpful and maybe a hook or two on the back of the bathroom doors.

Ocean front rooms are beautiful. The remodeled rooms are beautiful and it’s nice to have a kitchen.

I told the front desk I need some regular coffee since there was only one packet in the room and it never came. I had to run around and look for housekeeping, and they only had three total.

It was nice and clean and fun choices for restaurants right on the property! Beach was great with chairs and umbrellas available for rent at good price!

Rooftop was closed due to construction. But understandable

Room very well set up. Great job done to recover the rooms and the hotel infrastructure after the hurricane Couple more improvements, and the hotel will be back as full great accommodations

Still some improvements, but we understand the hard time they had after the hurricane.

I loved the location, the hotel is right on the beach. The playground for the kids is wonderful The food and variety of restaurants is great Love the room. Very clean.

No parking. Very noisy. Many visitors that are not staying in the hotel, drunk and screaming. Shower and sink faucets need to be fixed. They were loose. Room 304 sink faucet completely loose and just a little water coming out.

View, room and staff were awesome. The only thing that I could say that made our stay not perfect was that the main restaurant wasn't open yet due to hurricane damage, which is beyond their control. Will definitely stay there again.

Best location on the island!

Restaurant food needs improvement. Building back after hurricane Ian is taking a long time. Would still recommend!

Ocean view from balcony. Remodeled rooms and building.

No pool, no restaurants open except YoTaco on the beach floor. They havent been able to build them since the hurricanes. Had to pay an amenities fee a parking fee and beach chairs and umbrellas cost.
