My husband, my 10 month old baby and I stayed in the Plumeria suite. Our stay definitely had its pros and cons. Overall I have to admit the suite wasn’t quite what I was expecting for what we paid. We stayed during the 4th of July weekend, so we expected the rate to be a little higher than normal.
Pros
-Pete is super helpful and sends you all kinds of great recommendations for food and activities in advance before you even arrive (Make reservations or you’ll be eating from the local Big Save)
-There should be 2 beach chairs and an umbrella on the porch of every suite. If not, make sure to check with the office.
-They provided 2 beach towels inside the suite
-There was a nice box of chocolates as a ‘Thank You’ gift in the fridge when we arrived
-There’s 10 suites on the property and enough parking for one car per suite
-There’s a water station outside the suite where you can rinse off any sand or dirt before entering
-There’s a nice BBQ area outside the suite
-Excellent location in Poipu. Literally a 5 minute walk to Poipu Beach. We woke up at sunrise every morning to see the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles resting on shore.
-The property itself is well kept with nice landscaping
-The suite was clean and had helpful amenities (full sized fridge and microwave)
-There is a shared laundry room onsite if you are in desperate need of washing clothes, but the machines do cost
Cons
-Our main reason for booking this suite was because A/C was advertised. However the unit doesn’t cool off the ENTIRE suite. We ended up having our 10 month old daughter sleep in the living room to ensure she remained cool throughout the night while we slept in the bedroom
-The listing mentions a “partial ocean view” but the ocean cannot be seen from this suite (Plumeria)
-It wasn’t advertised that there’s a separate unit above this one. So we had to listen to people stomp above us during our entire stay. Not ideal for a napping baby
-The entire front of the suite are windows and the curtains don’t cover the entire window. So it was an issue for us trying to keep the light out for our napping baby during the day
All said and done, beautiful place in a great location!
