  Upgrade

  None, though asked

  Room

  Full Ocean View room (6th floor)

  A paid upgrade was $800 a night for the last three nights, too much. February was near perfect for weather and whale watching.

  Standard room

  With the hotel full, even a paid ocean-view move ($150-$200 a night) wasn't possible until night three. Loved the relaxed vibe and cove snorkeling.

  Upgrades here seem to stop at a basic ocean room. Excellent, uncrowded breakfast with good papaya and pineapple, and juice cocktails are back.

  Standard Suite (Andaz Suite) → Deluxe Ocean Suite

  Worth the $200 a night last year to move up to the Deluxe Ocean Suite. The base suite faced a wall.

  suite (room ending in 40)

  A December week with generally good recognition. The renovation is holding up well, and weekend breakfast gets busy but stays manageable.

  Buffet only

  Second stay, second time without a suite. Ripe fruit, rotating pastries and strong hot dishes at the buffet, with some waits this time.

  Told a standard suite can't be upgraded for Globalists anymore, and the paid offer got its inclusions wrong. Unimpressed so far.

  Breakfast was good, not excellent, in July 2024. The roughly $9 machine cappuccino wasn't included, but the charge was dropped after a complaint about quality.

  Suite, with a suite upgrade award

  Breakfast

  Full: buffet and à la carte

  Suite award applied by hand through the Globalist line, with parking and resort fees waived. Stingy with further upgrades, but no hard feelings.

  Asked about a further upgrade the day before. Check-in offered only a paid ocean-view suite at $300 a night, yet five suites were bookable online.

  Room

  140 (corner suite)

  All suites are renovated and the property is in good shape. Suite 140 felt private, and its bedroom lanai doesn't connect to the living-room one.

  The hotel emailed ahead and put them in a partial-view room on the fifth floor. A birthday mention brought generous in-room treats.

  Breakfast

  Full: buffet and à la carte

  The softer new pillow-top mattress did not suit their back. Breakfast is a buffet again, no a la carte, and lattes are $10 extra.

  Room

  Deluxe Ocean View Suite (renovated)

  Renovated and clearly better: new furniture, a quartz vanity, a glass shower in place of curtains. Occupancy seemed low after the Maui fires.

  suite

  Both suites worn in Feb 2023: broken shades, damaged furniture. Not returning, mainly because management seemed dishonest about Globalist upgrades, and it's pricey.

  The hotel was full, so seven nights in the booked room by the elevator. Still fantastic, and wrongly posted breakfast charges were fixed at checkout.

  No suite despite several asks, and when suites opened for the last three nights they were $800 a night. The room itself was flawless.

  Ground floor despite a flagged insect sensitivity. A move was $600, then $300 a night, until a big cockroach in the sink made it free.

  Told a suite certificate couldn't be used, then upgraded anyway to the best room yet here. Low occupancy and mostly broken EV chargers, but excellent.
