Mini review based on a 3-night stay here in April 2022 with 2 adults, 1 child:

Overview
Globalist, first time visit. Kept hearing how large the property was -- it's about the same size as the last Hyatt megaresort we visited, the Ziva/Zilara in Jamaica. Grounds are nice. We came from the Grand Wailea Waldorf just prior to this, and that property might have been slightly nicer, but not by much.

Room
Didn't want to play the upgrade game so booked a deluxe suite on points at 50k/night. Received room 5140, named the Pu'u Wanawana suite, on the far end of the Shipwreck Wing. Close to the pools, but quite a trek to the club lounge (we clocked it at ~0.4 miles each way, about a 10 minute walk). Room is huge, about ~1200 square feet, and was clean. But, the style was dated -- what we would call "old ladyish" -- and although we were oceanfront, our room also looked directly out onto the public beach access parking lot and hotel maintenance building (see photos). Had a bottle of wine and some snacks waiting for us in the room.




Dining
Tried to get a reservation at Tidepools for any of our three nights, and the concierge laughed and told us they were booked through June. Okay then -- hoping for a bit more of a service-oriented response, but sure. Reserve a spot way in advance on OpenTable as soon as you book your room. Able to get a walk-in table at Stevenson's one night, and they removed a "reserved" plaque from a table near the back, so maybe these are held for globalists? Not sure. Food was good there, as was breakfast at the Terrace. Had one breakfast and one "dinner"/snacks in the Club Lounge. Decent sized space with outdoor seating. Food was good enough, a step above your typical Hampton Inn/Residence Inn breakfast, but don't expect the world. Honor system for drinks/wine/cocktails at $5-7 each.

Pool
Nice, large, multi-tiered pool complex. Again, having come from the Grand Wailea and their huge pool complex previously, we were a bit spoiled, and so maybe not as impressed as we would have been otherwise. Lazy River wasn't a loop, and they charge you $15 for an inflatable inner tube (seriously guys? The cheapo Westgate Cocoa Beach even loaned them out for free.) Enclosed shallow saltwater lagoon was a nice touch.

Beach
Shipwreck Beach is nice, and the start of a wonderful family hike along the cliffs is just outside this end of the Shipwreck Wing. Currents are strong. Monk seals and turtles occasionally hang out here, but we didn't see any.

Overall, a nice resort, especially for families. Would stay here again on points, but probably wouldn't pay cash rates, especially for a suite like ours.
