### 5/5 — Time out!

*2026-07-13, version 3.41.0*

Love all the stuff. They makes me feel comfortable. 💞

### 5/5 — Easy and Breezy

*2026-06-13, version 3.41.0*

App is smooth to use, sometimes I can’t understand enough details about each rate package. Some deals seem to be the same package for different prices. Otherwise I have had no issues and hopefully can enjoy my rewards soon!

### 5/5 — Excellent service

*2026-05-26, version 3.40.0*

I have used the site a few times and I find that GHA Discovery is very helpful and accommodating and the process is easy to manage. I would definitely use them again.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-04-14, version 3.39.0*

Not worth the hassle

### 1/5 — Map doesn’t load

*2026-03-19, version 3.38.0*

Without a working map, this app is almost useless. Fix the map, it’d still be a decent tool.

### 5/5 — GHA

*2026-02-24, version 3.37.0*

Awesome

### 2/5 — Not user-friendly

*2026-02-22, version 3.37.0*

Very slow, cluttered, and confusing to navigate

### 2/5 — Outrigger Waikiki resort

*2026-02-18, version 3.37.0*

Lounge club
I was writing but it disappered. Here’s again. We love the Outrigger. Resort for our staycations on Oahu. Especially because BlueNote is right there. Food in DUKE’s and Hula Grill are exceptional. So why is the ʻ Lounge Culb’ food and drink so horid? Not your basic bad but scary horrific that I payed extra for. Just think 5 levels below Taco Bell or automated machine sandwiches

### 2/5 — Great programs, terrible customer service

*2026-02-17, version 3.37.0*

The booking process is highly functional and the programs are great, but customer service is TERRIBLE and SLOW. So instead of 5-stars they get 2, sad.

### 1/5 — A pointless and maybe dangerous App to use?

*2025-11-15, version 3.36.0*

I downloaded & registered details in App (iOS) several months ago and recently made a booking at Parkroyal Collection Singapore.   My original App registration details were corrupted. It had my address as registered in South Australia with an Oz phone number.  Never lived there!  When I attempted to enter my hotel confirmation number it was unrecognised. Despite attempts to correct info I have been forced to ask the PanPacific Group to sort it out.  Don’t believe App can be trusted to record my earned rewards let alone store my personal info😱
