Staying ar Cynthia's was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Her place is amazing, clean, beautiful, and so welcoming. If you are looking at saying in a residential space and actually seeing some Hawaiian culture up close, this is the place. The highlight for us was Aki Beach, which is just steps away. We saw sea turtles in and out of the water everyday. My girls will never forget it. The pool was also great to have bc it is shaded in the afternoon and it gave us some water time out of the sun. The beds and showers were awesome and after a long day sightseeing and swimming, we just melted into that leather couch. We definitely slept well with the white noise machines but overall found the roosters humorous when by the pool and it became a family joke. The waterfall masked the noise of the roosters but note that it only runs 2 or 3 hours daily. My only complaint was that the BBQ was pretty dirty and there was no propane. Not a big deal, but my pre-vacation daydreams involved grilling poolside. lol
