The King Kam suite exceeded my wife and I's expectations. We enjoyed the authentic lanai and all the nature that surrounded us. We spent many evenings lounging in the backyard on the patio furniture watching the clouds, watching the various species of gecko, and smelling the plumeria flowers. The full kitchen is great if you are planning to cook or prep meals for the day. I made use of the coffee maker and toaster each day which were also great to have. Also, the TV was perfect for slowly waking up in the morning or winding down from long adventurous day. It was enjoyable to watch some of the world cup matches on TV before getting our exciting days started.
Helpful tips: Cam has so many towels, beach chairs, body boards, and snorkel gear available within the house and on the porch. Use them! Shipwreck's beach is a 5 minute stroll to the right of the house and Poipu beach is less than a 10 minute jaunt to the left. We used the snorkel gear on numerous occasions and got to see many species of fish at Poipu beach. Additionally, we got to see many sea turtles and Hawaiian Monk Seals on Poipu beach. Lastly, the pool and hot tub are a 5 minute stroll to the left as well and totally worth the short walk. We used them numerous times and enjoyed the views of the palm trees and blue skies. The pool and hot tub are great spot to meet and converse with other travelers.
Some additional things to consider. You're on the "Garden" Island. One thing that makes Kauai so special is the abundance of greenery and wildlife. You can feel the island is alive and teaming with life. With that said, you may on occasion find some little critters in your suite. My wife and I actually enjoyed seeing the geckos. There aren't really any insects or bugs on the island that can hurt you. They want nothing to do with you. Leave them alone and they'll leave you alone.
Finally, what made our stay at the King Kam suite extra special is the host Cam. You will not find the same hospitality at any of the other luxury hotels or condos on the island. Cam is always available to help with anything related to your suite or to offer up some great local advice. Cam's aloha spirit certainly made our stay extra special and one we will always remember.
The King Kam suite is perfect for the traveler who wants to get out and explore various things the island has to offer, yet would like a little bit of down time to recharge the batteries.
