To enhance their stay, guests have access to a GoPro camera and can rent guitars, ukuleles, bicycles and mopeds.

There is nightly entertainment at the resort's bars, from karaoke and open mic nights to fire knife dancing and local DJs. Sunday nights also allow guests to experience a traditional Hawaiian lūʻau. Plenty of restaurants onsite mean that there are a variety of dining options to suit any occasion or mood, whether you want to enjoy traditional Hawaiian cuisine by the beach, have an informal snack by the pool or order a more refined dish.
