The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Exquisite Breakfast Experience

The breakfast buffet at the Plumeria Beach House was truly amazing, featuring a wide variety of dishes that catered to every palate. My personal favorite was the freshly made omelets and the tropical fruits that added a special touch to the meal. The attentive service made each morning feel like a celebratory occasion. Dustin at Plumeria especially stood out with his welcoming demeanor. I can't recommend this breakfast experience highly enough!

Luxurious Oceanfront Rooms

Staying in an Oceanfront room was an absolute dream! The spacious layout, private balcony with stunning views, and well-appointed furniture made it feel like a personal paradise. The amenities included bedside charging ports and deep bathtubs that allowed for the perfect relaxation after a day at the beach. Each detail contributed to a sumptuous experience; it was the ultimate home away from home.

Relaxing Spa Retreat

The spa experience was simply out of this world! I indulged in a deep tissue massage that left me feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. The therapist was incredibly skilled, finding tension spots and providing soothing relief. It was the perfect way to unwind after exploring the hotel’s beautiful grounds and enjoying the beach. I highly recommend treating yourself to a spa day during your stay!

Fun Family Activities

The children's amenities were fantastic! The hotel offered engaging activities like lei-making and storytelling that the kids loved. They had plenty of opportunities to learn and play which kept them entertained throughout our stay. It was great to see them enjoy cultural experiences while we relaxed nearby, knowing they were safe and enjoying themselves.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this resort, which offered a perfect mix of relaxation and fun. The beach is pristine and well-maintained, providing a great environment for all ages. Our accommodations were spacious and had lovely views, but I found the dining experience to be quite disappointing, especially during busy times. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for families, but they need to improve on service during peak hours.

Our stay was truly exceptional, tucked away from the hustle of downtown but still close enough for quick trips into the city. The resort offered a serene environment with stunning views. The rooms were spacious and clean, and we loved the unique experience of seeing dolphins right from our terrace. However, the air conditioning was a bit temperamental during our stay, which was somewhat inconvenient.

My stay at the hotel was truly rejuvenating. Nestled away from the busyness of Waikiki, the location offered serene beach views and well-kept grounds. The rooms, while comfortable and spacious, showed signs of age, which detracted slightly from the luxury experience I was hoping for. The staff consistently went above and beyond in their service, but the dining options left a little to be desired, especially regarding breakfast prices. Overall, a peaceful retreat perfect for families.
