Property amenities

This 548-room resort fits beautifully into its 50-acre former-pineapple plantation setting. That history is honored in the hotel's grand plantation-house design, complete with peaked roofs on many levels and blue-green wrought-iron balcony railings against pale stucco walls. The small, European-style lobby introduces the resort's homey style, which extends to the public rooms' soft-colored furniture and original Hawaiian motif paintings. Though many activities are offered, guests are not pressed to participate but left alone to enjoy the resort's hospitality as they wish.
The resort also features overnight shoe-shine service, a tour/travel services desk, and services for the hearing impaired, in addition to the property amenities listed below.
The Ritz Kids Program provides a variety of daily activities for children ages 5–12, and 3- and 4-year-olds are accepted if accompanied by an adult. The program alternates nature exploration, athletics, water-based fun, island adventures, beach activities, Hawaiian games and entertainment, and arts and crafts.
