Unless you, like, open the door to your balcony or walk outside. Were you looking for tiki torches and leafy green comforters?

But you weren't paying the standard rate. Which is probably why you got the room you did.
I guess it's a matter of perspective. I looked at my stay like I was getting $3,000 of value for my points, certs, and $300. So I wasn't furious about slow service (yeah, Bumbye and Lehua dawdled a bit) -- and the vast majority of people we interacted with were so positive that I didn't really remember until your review triggered the thought.

Counterpoint - we paid $130, including a nice tip for our waiter, for a couple drinks, a delicious entree we shared, and three separate rolls. The maki is reasonably priced. Two people could get a couple drinks, four rolls, and tip for under $100 easily.
