Napili Shores A106 had the best views, was super clean, and we got to see turtles!
The king bed is quite comfortable and not a sofa bed as mentioned in one of the messages sent to us. There is a full kitchen, which is great if you want to keep some food around or just want a cozy night in. The AC does make a little gurgling noise for 3 seconds every so often, but it's easy to ignore and not very loud at all.
The patio has amazing views and is very clean with a privacy shrub running along the public access. If you look a bit over to the right, there is a public shower to rinse off at for the beach, but not many people seem to use it though. There is a boogie board, some snorkeling gear, and one beach chair. There are additional hooks to hang clothes up to dry after swimming.
The bathroom was modern, clean, and had two showers heads, one on each side! That made rinsing off swimsuits much easier since one was detachable. Shampoo, conditioner, bar body soap, bar hand soap, towels, and extra beach towels are provided. If you have longer hair, you should buy some extra shampoo and conditioner since the ones provided are travel size.
The sandy beach is only a short walk (less than 2 minutes) and is great for boogie boarding or lounging on a floaty after passing the crashing waves or in the right areas of the bay. Turtles hang around the rocks that are outside of A106 at high tide. It is easy to find a spot on the beach since people are coming and going. As mentioned before, there is a public shower for rinsing off, but we suggest using Napili Shores' private shower 20 ft from A106 in a clean, private corner. It makes it so easy rinsing off after swimming.
Checkin/out was very simple, communication was excellent and quick, and having a code instead of a key was FANTASTIC! We loved not having to worry about holding onto a key at the beach. It made it so easy to come and go, especially when we just wanted to swim and take nothing with us.
Definitely eat at the Gazebo since they have amazing white chocolate macadamia pancakes with coconut syrup! Service is fast and staff is wonderful. Make sure to line up a bit before 7 to be seated right as they open. If you aren't an early bird, go around noon to 1pm since the line dies out around that time. We went to the Sea House right across the bay twice and they have decent food and amazing views. It takes 8 minutes to drive there, which is good if it's lunch time since it will be hot or if you want to avoid sand, and walking takes about 12 minutes since you are walking across the beach. However, staff weren't as friendly and if you forget a mask (we did the second time after walking at noon), they do not provide any and will not accommodate you in any way even with outside access to outdoor dining like we have seen other restaurants do. They will tell you to go buy a mask from somewhere else, however, if you go to the boutique at the resort to the right of the Sea House, they will give you one for free and are quite nice.
Overall, we loved A106 and will definitely want to stay again! We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.
