Lanai facing the beach and pool is very nice. There are lot's of places to eat close by in Kaunakakai. Remember that most businesses close by 8 or earlier. Unique small town feel to this sleepy town - Hawaii before the tourist blight seen elsewhere. This island is worth exploration from rustic Kaunakakai to the beautiful lookout above Kaluapapa, and from the unbeatable 3 mile beach on the west end to the tropical beauty of the east end. The views from Mauna Loa are spectacular. And virtually zero traffic and crowds. Don't forget to try the Hot Bread at Kanemitsu's Bakery after 8 PM. It's tricky to find, but just ask any local - they all know it. If you're lucky enough to be there on a Saturday morning, head North to the morning farmer's market at Grace Episcopal Church - and check out the craft sales and the thrift store for lot's of authentic Hawaiiana vintage items.
