Ko Olina is a fabulous resort, nice golf course, pools, lagoons, attentive staff, and the on property amenities and activities makes it so you really never need to leave the property to have an awesome getaway. Be aware that this place is popular with large groups and conventions and sometimes "conventioneers" can take the place over and crowd you out. I am usually with these groups so I have learned some tricks on avoiding them when traveling on my own. Like making friends with the concierge who can check the groups schedule to advise you on avoiding their scheduled activities. Remember, the concierge is always your best friend! Grease the hinges and doors will open. 🎯TIP - Watch them on parking charges! There is plenty of self parking if you do not want to valet. Don't let them bully you or tell you self parking is all full.

Ko Olina is my favorite golf course on the island. Nice driving range available to practice before you play. The greens and fairwarys are always well maintained and enjoyable. There are fabulous water features that make some holes more challenging and fun. All golf carts come with a GPS and water bottles. The pro shop staff are very helpful and friendly. The pro shop has everything you need in case you forgot something or want to go home with something with a cute ladybug logo. Don't forget Roy's at the 19th hole! Great place to relax with good food and drinks after a day of golfing heaven ⛳

Popular places to visit

Even though this beach is a little tricky to get to because it's on the same location as the Paradise Cove Luau, it's actually open to the public! But while you're at it, might as well go to the Paradise Cove Luau. It was my first luau, and was worth every moment. #LifeAtExpedia
