I loved staying in Kapaa. I think it is centrally located where you can go either direction depending on the weather. Lydgate Beach I loved! It is great for families and so close. The whole complex is complete with statues and water fountains. I only saw one other guest the entire time I was there. The bikes were so handy I think that is a real plus having them there to use. They didn't have two child helmets-but I believe the manager said she was going to pick up another one. The highway you cross to get to the beach and bike path is very busy during the day and I probably wouldn't have had my two young children ride across it even if they had helmets. The art in the house was fun. The managers were very nice. The host was very helpful when we had travel delays. We had a great stay.
