We had a very nice welcome at the apartment and a very nice experience throughout. The apartment was as described and the entire community is very cozy. We were not bothered by the roosters at all. However, there were still deliveries going on (probably ACE) way before 8 am (probably about 6 am). It usually did not last too long, but was enough for our daughter to wake up and stay up... We found Kapaa to be a great base to explore all parts of the island.
