3pm. At least, that was the start time when i was there.

Not many but lava lava is outstanding

Not much. Agree with Chrissy. Believe it or not, does not even include parking. You get a discount off a few meals, about $30 in free drinks, and 2 hours of snorkeling a day for your stay. Benefits don't match costs.

Good question, I made the comment to my husband that I hadnt seen any dogs on or off the resort,just struck me as strange? Plenty of cats and mongoose on the resort, upside no bugs which was a welcome relief visiting from Texas!

$30 and another $18 for self parking

The fish in the pond and the canal are protected.

Nope. No threat unless you are at ground zero. If yiu want to check it out its best tontake a helicopter flight.

Luau reservation can be made from hotels

Sorry, you'll have to be more specific with your question.

The beachfront is only a short walk from the hotel. Take an elevator to the lobby, walk down the stairs to the bar/restaurant, walk around the pools, and towards the beach. On your way to the beach, be sure to take a look at the beautiful pond that you will notice while reaching the beach. On the beach, food, rentals, and beach chairs are offered to you.
