"Beautiful property, individual thatched-roof homes feel very authentic and very much vacation vibe. The restaurants are good (there are three - the Moana main restaurant, then two beach restaurants) but the cocktails were inconsistent. The breakfast buffet is excellent but expensive at $60. The water sports are limited. The front desk service was also inconsistent - a long check-in experience but then very helpful during the stay. Two beautiful pools. Gorgeous property. Excellent spa with great massage and plunge pool (hot and cold). Spa access is free even without a treatment Careful when you book to note if your room is ocean view or ocean front.
