Overall a great place to stay for a vacation. Quick walking access to the beach, gym, and pool. Ikaika was VERY responsive and attentive to anything we needed so that was a huge plus. The space was nice and large enough for two people to be very comfortable. There was plenty of cooking supplies, towels, and dish soap/hand soap. That said there was no shampoo or body wash so you need to bring your own. There’s also no washer/drier in the condo so keep that in mind. There’s no AC but that was not a problem at all—the ceiling fans and all the screens provided a nice breeze all day and night and it was never warm.
The resort/complex was nice and overall a pretty quiet crowd. That said, the chickens were incredibly loud all day and night. There are no glass windows to seal out the noice so you would hear chickens crowing starting around 2-3am. We are both heavy sleepers but were awoken often from loud chickens right outside. Earplugs were a must! Also the mattress isn’t terribly comfortable after a week of sleeping on it.
All of that to say we would recommend this place because of the closeness to everything, general safety, and walkable amenities. This was the perfect location for us for all of the hiking/activities we did. Just know what you’re getting into with the loud chickens!!
