"This was wonderful. We were greeted each morning to a gaggle of Nene (the Hawaiian state bird and very endangered species). The condo was just right not fancy but clean and comfortable with an amazing view. You must spring for the ocean view. The beach is a great snorkeling beach, we never had more then 10 people to share it with. The kitchen was fine and we were able to make everything we wanted (I might bring a sharp knife next time). The staff was friendly and helpful. We felt safe enough to...

Club Wyndham Bali Hai Villas

Club Wyndham Bali Hai Villas

10/10 Excellent
"We got a corner lower unit that was across from the food trucks. Unit was spacious and clean. Well equipped with all the kitchen amenities although we didn’t cook much. Food trucks was a good alternative from cooking. We ate at the shrimp and the Asian place. Both were great alternatives from cooking especially when on vacation. Had an issue on check in but gave us food vouchers as compensation and then on our 3rd day we had a water leak coming from the ceiling that was fixed right away. Staff responds right away via text for any issues."
