The JWM is pretty remote and the dining there was ok and there was a Roys at the nearby golf club that you could go to. The food at the Disney property next store was pretty disappointing and there were no restaurants that were decent in Ko Olina area. I'm assuming you're not interested in Chilis, as you're posting in the luxury board.

For me, the 4S Hualalai is the greatest. Are you just trying to go on points?

Has anyone stayed at the Trump in Waikiki?
On Oahu, Halekulani is arguable the best property. Trump looks OK, but not on beach and a little cold feeling relative to Halekulani.

Agree on FS Hualalai, we are going back again soon.
