The Beach Villas at Ko Olina by Real Select Vacations

After extensive research of many of the Ko'Olina options we are beyond happy with our choice of booking with Cherie of Honu Homes/Four Lagoons Realty. We were a family of 5 adults + a five year old. Location allows for easy walking to surrounding resorts, restaurants, shopping. Parking is excellent right in the building. We had an SUV and parked easily. Roy's happy hour and Island Country Market were our favorites to eat and get market food or supplies. Unit view was very plenty enough for ocean to see with a slight side view of the units next but not enough to obstruct. Unit was comfortable, functional and roomy enough for us to be private or together. The non-ocean view side was also nice with fields and mountains. Ocean is right there! We tried other lagoons and found this one was best. Combination of calmness but enough swimming space out with good wave action. The pools were not busy in May and the adults and kids had their own areas. We did a Costco run but also enjoyed the Market prepared food. Most of all, working with Cherie was the best. Professional, accommodating, kind, friendly and ensures you are happy with your stay. Villa staff was also helpful with area questions. Cherie is our first call when we go again.

We have stayed at the Ko’Olina Beach Villas about 8 times since 2016. Up until this visit, I would say that the villas were consistently a strong 4+ to 5 rating. In this visit, we experienced much more noise from F16 jets doing flyovers, an increase in commercial and other aircraft. We stayed 6 days and it was incredibly noisy. The quiet pool was not quiet as families descended upon it in the afternoon (this happened 3 different times) we wanted to rest by the pool and read. Or swim laps and children were playing in the lane. Just a lack of attention by management to the pool area. We like to stay in the Beach Tower and it seemed like voices carried in the early morning and you could hear conversations from other guests as early as 6 am. So if you are looking for a quiet idyllic location, the sunsets are fabulous but it is not quiet. After several visits, I am afraid we will not return.

Absolutely wouldn't recommend anyone to go to this place unless you want your rights stripped away..no you aren't allowed to take any of your prescriptions on the property unless you are going to be kicked out and fined..and they get way to personal on wanting to much personal information!! Not sure how they refuse someone with a medical condition and tell them they have to leave the property.should rename the place Russia

Fantastic stay! Made accommodations through Ola Properties (so friendly and easy to work with). Our condo was so spacious, clean, quiet, and gorgeous view (beach tower 610). Slider doors open fully ip the lanai, so beautiful! Beach chairs, boogie boards, most kitchen accessories you’ll need, laundry detergent, even a clothing steamer! Pool area is kept very clean, in working order. Music out at the pool side bar was classy and low key! Staff was the friendliest we experienced during our entire trip. Lagoon felt comfortable and safe for swimming for our younger two. One day there was a bit of a rowdy crowd but the lagoon is big enough to just venture elsewhere when we felt it was too rowdy for our littles safety. If we ever return to Oahu we will definitely stay again. Cons: mattresses were hard, but pillows were very comfortable. We have two competitive swimmers that needed to get laps in and hoped to use the lap lane but one side was a bit too shallow and often had quite a number of people hanging out. Not a huge deal they just headed to the lagoon and got in a workout.

Our unit was awesome! We have stayed 7 times at BV and we do love it. Those that complain are rule breakers, they are clear about the rules. They were a little lax this past visit on kids/babies in the quiet pool and the person who said some parents are entitled is correct. There is a whole pool geared to kids and two hot tubs. I think it’s gross when babies are wearing diapers in the quiet pool. Our unit was well stocked we had a mid stay clean which was fantastic as we were there a month. There are several management companies that represent owners and perhaps if you are having a poor experience you should try a different one. I have stayed in several units. Some are not as well equipped as others. The ground are wonderful and well maintained. Some units look a bit more tired than others.

This was our second visit to this location. We loved our stay and the only thing we didn’t particularly enjoy was the loud kids in the quiet pool area. The kids have a lovely pool area where they can play and splash around. The larger pool with a designated lap lane is the “quiet” pool, in which there are super clear rules posted all over, and also included in the house rules. We often like to go here to escape the noise and just soak in the sun. The number of entitled parents that felt these rules didn’t apply to them or their families was appalling. They were throwing balls across the pool, playing loud games and not being respectful of seniors attempting to swim laps peacefully. I didn’t even have to complain as the front desk could hear the noise and other residents would go speak to the staff and complain. My husband and I and our two adult kids sat there in awe of these parents that felt they were above the rules and watched as the poor staff had to continuously come and remind them to keep down and put their toys away, etc. (and be met with attitude). If you want to be loud and you can’t control your kids and feel that you need more than “just” two kids pools and an ocean… go elsewhere. Thank you to the staff at the resort, you are top notch. Thank you for trying to keep this resort in the best shape possible. Your hospitality and hard work does not go unnoticed.
