WEll keep in mind i am comparing it to the Kea Lani. Alos, they were in the process of renovating the South tower, so i assume the North tower was next.

-Rooms were avg size (Kea Lani all Suite)
-Tried to sell Partial ocean views that did not exist.
-Gold club above us was extremely noisey (high heels, chairs moving)
-Bathrooms were disgusting
-Smaller pools, less attentive service, crappy lounge chairs, etc
-Kea Lani has the canoe expericence, Orchid has a cheap immitation that you can not per book
-Cockroaches

Anyone who has experienced both the Kea Lani and Orchid should attest to this.
