"Although one of the older resorts on Kannapali, the property was well maintained, the staff was excellent other than the "Concierge", who after booking a catamaran tour for my wife and I, immediately shoved a screen in front of us requesting a large tip for 10 minutes work. It was insulting."

We even weathered Tropical Storm Lala well despite not having power for 23 hours. Being so close to Whalers Village was also a bonus. We would love to come back sometime. Many thanks"
