No title - expert review Pahu i'a means aquarium, so it's fitting that a 9- by 4-foot aquarium in the entrance casts a dreamy light through this exquisite restaurant.

No title - expert review With all the action happening on the beaches of Oahu and Maui and in the deep forests of Kauai, it s easy to overlook the Big Island.

You get what you pay for - user review A great place to spend a week. The mark of a great hotel: you ask for something and you get it. The mark of a REALLY great hotel is getting something before you ask for it. The staff here almost seemed to read minds, very at... epinions.com

harsh enforcement ruined it for me - user review 3.26.06: when the hotel is at capacity, the pool attendants begin enforcing the 20 minute rule if you leave your pool side cabana for more than 20 minutes you may find your stuff packed up and put aside when you get back. in my case, the attendant questioned me each time i got up and reminded me tha... fodors.com

Can´t really fault it but... - user review But...it's just kind of too fake and dull, just like some hotels are too fake and over the top.

This is it!!! - user review If you get a late reservation, show up early and sit at the bar. The view is even better than down in the restaurant.

Beautiful View and Wonderful Service - user review You need reservation for dinner (and if you're not staying at the hotel, the guard checks your name on the reservation list before letting you on the premises).
