Things to improve:
We had to talk with the maids. Upon arrival the maids were not very receptive. But during our stay they improved the service and we end up paying some extra so the service.
We really enjoyed our stay at Aloha 18. The accommodation is great, location awesome and staff brilliant! Already planning our next trip.
