Hale Kukui has what a hotel never will - privacy, quiet and space for your relaxation, fresh fruit you can pick from dozens of fruit trees, and a friendly, responsive host in a homey environment.
Woke up first morning with my patio sliders open to let in the breeze, cracked the curtains to see the ocean from my bed. Had the coffee and starfruit that Dan left for us, along with avocado on my morning omelette and tangelos. Want more? Walk down to the orchard and pick some or select from the basket down the drive. Many trees are labeled.
Review the guidebook on the table, decide which direction to start on - look, there’s beach chairs and boogie boards to borrow. Dan recommended this beach for snorkeling. Don’t forget to try malasadas at Tex.
Are there leaves on the patio? Yep, they blow down every day, even when I swept them. That’s mother nature for you. But the hammock and chairs on that patio where we rested with coffee listening to the frogs…delightful.
