I somewhat hesitate to write this review because I don’t want too many people finding out and making it difficult for me to return due to a lengthy wait list 😉 But That would be selfish of me This idyllic hideaway is serenely spectacular My entire experience from the booking process to the prompt communication from Margaret about expectations to the ease of check in and the sublime surroundings blew me away I’ve worked in hospitality and the “people” business for 45 years specializing in creating an elevated and seamless guest experience.

Ambiance is the plethora of friendly felines and roosters with their young roaming the grounds My favorite time of the day was early morning or late afternoon sitting within striking distance of the “Sleeping Giant” I would watch the clouds come and go and almost caress his features A reminder to us all to relax and have faith that we are in good hands and the only rule is to be calm and be yourself (oh and take your shoes off) 😉 I cannot laud this secluded Shangri- la enough Forget the resorts and come treat yourself to true tranquility (except for the crowing roosters which is a part of the charm and makes for a truly authentic experience) I highly recommend Kapa’a Garden Apartments which is centrally located to everything you could possibly need and a short walk to the beach Book now and you shan’t be disappointed Margaret & Arnold and his team… Much Aloha & Mahalo Nui Loa
