Wow! I had read the reviews and seen the pics prior to booking and I still wasn’t expecting just how magical this place was. It’s so spacious! And the decor is impeccable. The beds are comfortable and it feels like a home.
And the lanai wraps all around the place so you feel like you’re in your own oasis.
It’s so close to everything we wanted to do too! Anini Beach was the best snorkeling beach and 10 minutes away! Hanalei is 10 minutes. There is a nice wine shop in the Princeville marketplace which is less than 5 minutes. The grocery in Princeville had fresh, good poke. The Westin is a 2 minute walk for a buffet breakfast when you don’t want to cook. I’m not sure I could have chosen something better!
We drove to the other end of the island on the last day and spent some time in Poipu and I was so grateful we stayed on the north side this time. It’s so much easier and all the stuff we wanted to do was right there! And the place really is stocked with all the beach toys to could ever imagine which made it even that much better!
Also - I highly recommend the restaurant Dolphin in Hanalei for the absolute best sushi. And my son made us go back every day to Wishing Well in Hanalei for what we’re pretty sure is the world’s best shaved ice in the world. They also have super yummy organic smoothies and great coffee.
I’m seriously considering booking this again for next year.
I think if Alta’s place had AC it would be my go-to forever.
