The Beach Villas at Ko Olina by Real Select Vacations

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.

Great resort and a fantastic location! My family and I rented a villa here through VRBO and it did not disappoint. The villa was huge with a giant balcony with an ocean view, large living room and kitchen, and spacious bedrooms. I like that this resort wasn’t nearly as busy/crowded as the neighboring Marriot and Disney resorts. It felt very relaxed, which is what we prefer on vacation. We also liked the Ko Olina area in general. Very nice and secluded feeling. It’s away from all of the hustle and bustle of Honolulu. Overall great experience!

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.

Nice outfitted condo with all the toys you need. Short walk to kid safe beach. Grounds nicely landscaped. Quite pool is simple, but heated. Kids pool is large but needs to be heated. All the kids were cold. This is not acceptable. Couldn’t tell if the ocean or pool was colder. Not good for the kids
