We had a wonderful time at the Noeloni in March! We were on the bottom floor - away from the pool facing the ocean. The complex has locked gates so we felt very safe and we were glad that we were on the bottom floor and could access the grassy area, beach and pools very easily. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai daily watching whales, turtles, surfers, foil surfing, and kite surfers. There is a wonderful little rocky beach to the left of the complex that has turtles resting on the rocks. One day we counted over 20 of them. We could also see them swimming right in front of the unit. The pools were wonderful to swim in as well. Sitting on the ocean front has its pros as well as cons. It can be sometimes very loud from the waves and a bit windy. But if it becomes too much, you close all the windows and doors it is MUCH quieter and feels much calmer. The bedroom is located at the front (by the parking lot) and you can still hear the waves if the windows are open. The street traffic is calm and not loud to sleep. The waves in front are much too strong to swim/snorkel and there are large rocks, but there is a small beach within a 2 minute walk to the right and another one another 2 minutes away that is quite nice to swim at. We will definitely stay here again.
