Lawai'a is an awesome spot for those travelers seeking something more than a generic resort experience. The property, surrounded by lush local plantings, offers spectacular views and is steps away from a beautiful bay. The bay, a marine sanctuary, offers some of the best snorkeling on the island and is commonly frequented by Hawaiian spinner dolphins. Best of all, Jessa, your on-site caretaker and host, is a gem. She was always there when needed and a willing source of local information.
Through a channel in the rocky shoreline, the property has one of the few direct access options into the bay. Depending upon tide and surf conditions, a weak swimmer might find this a challenge, however. The surrounding neighborhood and shoreline is great for exploring by foot. Accommodations are quaint, more beach cabin than luxury, but comfortable and clean. Note you are a 10 minute drive from groceries and dining options but the relative remoteness is all part of the charm.
