 * Keep Sure, the article is a little promotional and could use some pruning. But any property that gets covered significantly by the Wall Street Journal on three separate occasions is notable. Those are not "routine business coverage" - they are full length staff-written stories by the WSJ about a property located 5,000 miles from the WSJ's home base. That's not even to mention the more local coverage from the Pacific Business News (3 stories) and the expected puffery from publications like Travel and Leisure. --MelanieN (talk) 03:21, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep I do agree with MelanieN that the article appears a little promotional. However, I noticed that virtually all pages in category "Resorts in Hawaii" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Resorts_in_Hawaii ) follow the same pattern, writing and illustration style. In addition, the reference to the WSJ should be considered significant indeed. MTK 21:34, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - upon a review of sources (in the article), meets WP:CORPDEPTH. NorthAmerica1000 05:36, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep I can see a number of issues including some sourcing issues, but there do indeed appear to my multiple, secondary, reliable sources and the resort seems to meet criteria for notability.--Mark Miller (talk) 18:52, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep sources are reliable. I think it meets our notability criteria.  J i m Carter  ( talk ) 22:23, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
