Cozy spot with a beautiful view! This was a great place to stay on our road to Hana adventure. Be sure to go outside after dark and look at the stars. Absolutely stunning and the sound of the ocean makes it just perfect. Some tips: Definitely bring some groceries with you, the two general stores are very small with extremely limited selections. If looking for a great place to eat, check out Ae’s Thai Kitchen food truck just down the road. If traveling during Covid, there is NO laundry facility open at Hana Kai (wish I had known that) and there is no tv so bring a laptop or iPad if you need something to watch.
And if you’re looking for the best banana bread you’ll ever eat, don’t forget to stop at Aunty Sandy’s on your way! It’s a quick detour to Keanae (adds about 10 minutes total) for a fresh loaf of bread, bathrooms, and breathtaking views.
And one last tip: if you’re staying here bc you’re doing the road to Hana trip, be sure to download the Gypsy Guide Hana app. Audio tour that tells you everything, including where to stop, what to skip, history, etc. I can’t imagine doing the trip without that audio tour. Uses GPS so everything is perfectly timed.
