Our stay at Pali Ke Kua was generally very good. The location and view are amazing. We loved having access to the special beach area accessed just outside the unit. It had everything we needed, including a cooler, beach chairs, umbrella, and beach towels.
I wish I could say the same for the check-in process. The host did not send the "electronic guestbook" three days prior as promised. They sent it the day we checked in and did not let us know that it would be coming via email and not via airbnb message. This was a problem because the email went to spam and was therefore buried in email and we had no way of knowing we had received it until contacting the host and asking about it. After all of that confusion, the check-in instructions do not state which building number to look for when driving around the complex. We had the unit number, but not the building and had no familiarity with how things were laid out. It was late and dark and we ended up stopping at several buildings to look at numbers on the doors. Not a great way to start the stay! But once we finally found the unit, getting in with the keycode was no problem. This was all complicated by the fact that there is limited cell phone service for some carriers in this area so reaching out to the host for help was difficult. Once inside, the wifi router was disconnected, which further complicated our communication problems until we discovered this and fixed it.
The unit itself is well-furnished and comfortable. When it comes to quiet, however, you are a bit at the mercy of your neighbors to the sides and above. While there is a note to only wash/dry clothes during quiet hours in the unit, I don't think the upstairs neighbors had the same note or they chose to ignore it. Since we had the fan running in the bedroom, the noise was only noticeable when in the bathroom so it wasn't a big annoyance.
All of that to say, now that I know how to find the unit and which router is for guest wifi, I would very likely stay here again!
