As advertised. Stay here cause it’s great!
Pros:
- location! Plantation Hale is a great condo complex. It’s right next to a shopping complex, which was AWESOME. However I would still recommend getting a car since it’s not within walking distance of any sites and Kauai overall is definitely a car island.
- theme. It was super cutely decorated, and definitely made us feel like we were in Hawaii!
- bathroom- two bars of soap were provided as well as heaps of towels. That was great.
- proximity to laundry- legit, the laundry room was across from the unit, which made doing laundry a breeze. Bring ya quarters!
- communication. Valerie was fast to respond.
Cons:
- A bit moldy. It’s an older unit, and that was very evident. The cute decor and theme were clearly used to disguise this fact. The carpets are old, the living room is old, everything is just old. When we first walked in, it smelled musty and moldy, especially in the bedroom and living room. Even when the AC was on, it felt humid and musky. But it’s Hawaii. And hey, for the price, and the location, it’s a great find.
- bugs. I found a few tiny ants and things around the kitchen/living room on the first day. Not a huge deal, it IS Hawaii.
- AC. There’s a window unit in the living room and bedroom, so the bathroom and kitchen can get a bit hot unless you have both of those units going full blast. The AC works well though.
