Stayed for 6 nights at Nalani's place for my first time ever visiting Kauai. The location on the East side in the middle was convenient for getting to the north and the south of the island and the grounds of the resort are really pretty. I loved that the resort was located the beach as well--great sunrise viewing location (her room does not face the ocean but it was really easy to get to the beach)! I was bummed that only one hot tub was working at the resort while I was there which meant that it was constantly occupied and I never got to use it -- that made the high resort fee feel not worth it (as you have to pay separately for everything else at the resort- parking, food/drinks, laundry, etc) but I guess that's how it goes sometimes. Nalani was super responsive and threw in a few extras like beach chairs and pool/beach towels which I really appreciated!
