Creator's Key Takeaways

I would definitely do the luau again. It is a pricey luau...

We absolutely love this resort. Would we go back? We would 100% go back if I could.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get to the pool early to secure chairs.
✓Use the lounge to change and shower before your room is ready or after checkout.
✓Book the character breakfast and luau in advance if possible.
✓Consider splitting meals at Off the Hook to save money.
✓Walk around the resort at night to see the pools lit up.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cost of activities and food — Know that it's not all-inclusive; budget accordingly and use off-resort options like ABC Store for cheaper meals.
Finding pool chairs — Arrive early when the pool opens to secure spots for your family.
