This was a great home base for exploring the South Shore and the West side of Kauai. The unit itself had ample space for the 2 of us. The Lanai was so peaceful for relaxing, eating, having drinks from the kitchen blender. The only thing we wish we would have known ahead of time is the type of coffee maker (it’s a regular pot kind and we needed to buy extra filters). The resort itself is great. It was about a 10 minute walk to the beach, but we didn’t mind it. You will get a card you can turn in for beach towels down by the beach. You can also sign out chairs there. The beach is good for beginner surfing & snorkeling. One of the best things about the location of this unit is how close it is the the shopping center across the street. We loved eating at Keoki’s Paradise! Make a reservation! We ate there twice (if you go before 5:30, ask for the Chef’s Tasting Menu). It is a .7 mile walk to Poipu beach. We walked there for sunrise several days. Sunset is great on the beach at the resort.
