Unit 49 at The Plantation is gorgeous. It is on the top floor which I was concerned would be hot but it was kept plenty cool by the fans in both the bedroom and the main kitchen area. The lanai is roomy and overlooks the well maintained gardens at the Plantation Resort. The beach is a 3 minute walk. Also, Preben has generously stocked the storage with beach accessories. A good quality umbrella is useful for the beach (but not allowed on the grassy area above the beach). It's a corner unit and thus gets a constant breeze which again, keeps the heat down. There was a little noise with the garden maintenance at the resort, but that is true of all condos in Hawaii (from my experience). The shutters are very effective in blocking out noise when they are closed completely.
The unit is right beside the check in and the laundry unit which is entirely convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
