Recently I stayed at 1BR+ of Kalia Tower. After 2004, I have used Lagoon only. This time, I was alone for the trip. So I thought the atmosphere would be better with a quieter environment as well as a jaccuzi just down there.
I agree with those who say Lagoon is roomy, close to the ocean, etc. Its OF and OV 2BR is ideal for a vacation in Hawaii. I like Lagoon a lot. So I was not really sure if my choice was right.
It was a short stay but I changed my perception and came to like Kalia much more. The view from the room is really OV. And you can enjoy seeing three towers of Rainbow, Lagoon and Waikikian both during daytime and at night. OF is fantastic but gives you only darkness after sunset. And the view with Waikikian is far better than the old one with Ilikai.
One more good thing with Kalia is it has a lanai for the bedroom. When you wake up in the morning, you can see the ocean from your bed; you do not have to get up. (Also I do not shut the curtain to adjust myself to the local time.)
So Kalia will be great at times like when you are staying in a couple, when you want to avoid the uncertainty of Lagoon's OV on the lagoon side or the Ilikai side, etc.
If you like, please see the photos I took during the stay. https://picasaweb.google.com/117164809883855204627
