The new building is open and occupied - there is a separate pool bar and pool area (open to all guests) which we will visit later today (after the Swap Meet)
This is the first time I got my exact villa request - one of the coveted rooms in building one that have a dead on view of the water -- and wow. There is an extra room in the front area and two lanais. The view is truly spectacular.
I notice some cutbacks since last year.
No lei greeting in the welcome center
No welcome packet of goodies
No invitation to take a time share tour (we will take one at Waiohai next week anyway)
Then there is the pool bar - prices are up. We had dinner there last night.
Keep in mind that I was born and raised in NYC and I do not get food sticker shock but . . we each had one mai tai and one sandwich (substituted cole slaw for fries) and it was $60 without tip).
Nothing can interfere with paradise - even the price of food. Aloha
