We stayed here and paid cash rate through Amex FHR for the second time in early January - the first time was post-COVID renovations, pre-Ritz (still independent as Turtle Bay) and this time obviously post-Ritz.
7) If you want a bigger lanai (not the small balcony where you have to sit sideways), be sure to pay attn when booking because they changed the naming conventions of the room. Also note that, since there are 3 wings with 2 sides each (6 sides total), only 2 of the sides have the larger lanai with the relaxing chairs -- and one of those is directly over the pool (a little louder). So - you may want to request for one that doesn't overlook the pool if you want the lounge chairs.

All the front line staff we interacted with were great. All professional and friendly. Views were wonderful, and loved the view from the gym.

Ouch. Im sorry to hear that. We did the exact same thing where we unpacked and I only recognized the small lanai too late. But then again I checked the language of our room and it was consistent with what I got, but different from the pictures.
first time we stayed there we had the large balcony and it was amazing, but having the tiny little lanai with two uncomfy chairs was a bit disappointing - especially for what you pay. I hope you get something out of it.
