We had an amazing stay at this resort! I knew about the additional air charge going in and it is worth it no so much for the heat being and issue but if the humidity bothers you. The North shore gets more rain than the rest of the island and my son has asthma. It's not an ideal sleep environment for him to go without the air. This wasn't my first time to Kauai and we are used to the roosters crowing at all hours but one thing I found really nice is that there were large floor fans in the bedrooms that eliminated that noise. We had no disruptions while we were sleeping. This was a beautiful location on the island and I loved that the balcony seemed private with the landscaping wrapping around each units' deck. Anna was really helpful and quick to respond to my messages, we will definitely be booking again!
