A well appointed condo with two master suites, both with ocean views. Nice furniture, sheets and towels. It is up to date, with beautiful finishes, appliances and comfortable furniture. It has interior hallways, so finding the shortcuts to the beach and pool can be challenging. It is convenient to the airport and not too far to Costco. It is central to getting to any part of the island for day excursions.
This is an upscale resort with beautiful pools, lounging areas and an oceanfront restaurant with great food. The unit faces away from the pool area and toward the ocean, but it is quite convenient to that amenity. The kitchen equipment is basic but adequate.There are some beach chairs and umbrellas. There is some shade on the beach, with loungers available as part of the resort experience at no extra cost. The pool and surrounding area is nothing short of magnificent. Make time to spend there.
This is a beautiful beach, not crowded, with breakers at a distance on the reef. However, the ocean front path only covers the beach from each end of the property, you can't walk for any appreciable distance. The more public beach near Old Kapaa is much wider, with beautiful water and some calm areas. Lydgate Beach is about 5 minutes away with nice bathrooms and a huge grassy area.
There are several restaurants in walking distance, Safeway and Foodland right across the highway. Its walkable, but be aware this is THE highway on the island, so through traffic has prioroty. Lots of sports to eat in the unit, with indoor and outdoor ocean view dining. Don't bother eating your order in the restaurants, get take out and enjoy the view. Except do eat at the Oasis restaurant, its right on the beach. Looked like a nice Happy Hour!
Saw lots of kids here, but this unit is on the second level. Having just spent over a week in a large Kauai house with three grand kids, I don't think this would have been suitable for their level of energy. But I was at this place to relax! I would go back!
