The place is great for location and value! You can sit on the patio and watch the ocean, which is a lot closer than the pics make it look! The beaches around are small but beautiful and you're just down the road form the botanical gardens and Spouting Horn (blowhole). The area of Poipu/Koloa is absolutely perfect if you plan on spending time on the south/west/east side. It's quite a drive to the north side of the island but it would be the same for any other location. We went to the farmers market in Kapaa and got tons of fruit to eat for breakfast out on the patio every morning and it was great! There are even chairs and boogie boards and a cooler to take to the beach! Would definitely stay here again!
