Amazing view, beautifully updated room. No microwave and very small fridge. The food downstairs can be expensive, but overall it is a nice place. The pool is very relaxing and the resort is worth the price.

We checked in early with a great desk attendant. When we came back later to pick up our wristbands, the two desk clerks were questioning her and saying they were the only ones who do it right. It just felt unprofessional. I work in retail management and you always want the guests to have confidence in your entire staff, business and how well you have trained your staff. I’ve been coming to the Lani Kai for a long time and this was the first

I really enjoyed our time at the Lani Kai. The beach was clean and easy to get to. The restaurants attached to the resort were nice. I did not like paying for parking and thought that should be more apparent when booking. The facility we spoke to was very nice and accommodating. I would recommend to anyone coming to the area.

The only trouble we had was towels and house keeping. Their process is not routine and maybe that was our fault but we had to exchange the exact amount of towels…felt like they were over protective but otherwise the property was a good deal for the price!

Overall the facility was OK, but my room did not have a functioning mirror - kinda inconvenient for fixing hair or makeup. Altho I did mention this at the front desk and they said that maintenance would fix it, that did not happen. I can understand that they are still repairing things that were lost in the hurricane, I would have thought that the rooms they actually rented would be 100%

Saw a giant cockroach in my room & something bit me while I was in bed? I don’t think it was bedbugs because it was only on my arm and left side, like eight bites altogether. They are TRYING really hard and I can see that, just not executing. There DJ doesn’t know how to “work the crowd” I told one of the security guys this and he say “oh he sure does” I could only laugh, I ran one of the top 10 nightclubs in the USA, the DJ sounded like he was playing for STRIPPERS in a stripclub. And I didn’t like that boats parked right where you wanted to be in the water! Too close to shore IMO. Ok place but needs more POLISHING.
