We had a wonderful time in Kauai- Peter's place was perfect... beautiful and right on the beach. We were able to use the resort amenities as though we booked through the hotel directly (aside from the daily room cleaning service, which we were totally fine with). The mini fridge is very tiny & not much room to store more than a couple waters, and a yogurt or two. This worked well for us because we hadn't planned on making any grocery store trips/cooking our own meals. The location of the resort is convenient- close to airport and central to visit all sides of the island. Renting a car is a must as there is nothing in walking distance of the hotel. Downside is the $25/day to park the car at the resort... but when all is said and done having the luxury of exploring the whole island the money was well worth is. Check in and check out was simple... overall we had a wonderful stay in Kauai and are very happy that we chose to stay at Peter's place!
