The location of the condo is why we stayed here. Ocean front (no beach access) and close to good beaches. It was our second time at the PPalms condominium. This unit is on the bottom and set farther back so view was not as good but still amazing, though we couldn’t hear the waves from the bedrooms as well either most nights all we could hear was the wind in the palms and the extremely loud sprinklers. Carpet in the bedrooms was dirty and the outside lights shine right through the bedroom blinds, making it difficult to sleep if you need darkness, like myself. This unit is on the bottom, it is a three story condominium so you have the typical condo noise issues; hear people above you walking around, shower goes cold if any other hot water is turned on. There’s also a neighbor directly behind the condo who has a small yapping dog, seemed they let it out every morning around 6am. So if you are looking for peace and quite I suggest not staying in a condominium. There were bugs, it’s a tropical island, it will happen, I’m not complain just warning any squeamish. Kauai is awesome my favorite laid back island, not much night life, slow pace, but so scenic every part of the island is different. Poipu is our favorite area, great beaches, sunnier and warmer. Also strongly suggest checking out the lithified sand dunes down the dirt road just past the Hyatt.
