This place was perfect for us! Clean and comfy! It was just as described. Full kitchen with anything you’d need to cook with, just buy food! It was pretty central to big stores or grocery... pretty much everything. Kilauea as well as Waimea canyon are about an hour and a half drive from the place, each direction. And both restaurants in walking distance to the room were super good!! Plus the coconut marketplace right there as well.
The closet had lots of cool stuff for us to use such as boogie boards, folding chairs, and a little mini cooler! We were not greeted with the macadamia nuts or champagne but we bought our own things so no big. Pools and jacuzzi were super close to the room as well as the laundry mat.
The only slight mishap for us when that I told the host our flight would have us arriving at noon, and asked if we could get an early check in before I booked. She said it shouldn’t be a problem as long as the people before us were out on time. After I booked, I checked in with her to see how the early check in was going and she did not respond. We tried to check in early and that was when she told us the room would not be ready until 3pm. It threw our plans for the whole day off since traffic around 3 on the island is pretty bad. So if you NEED an early check in I would maybe book direct with the resort.
However, the hair dryer in the room would not work our first night there, molly had someone bring me a brand new one the very next morning. So issues that arise, she takes care of for you.
All in all, I would stay here again in a heart beat!!!
And ps- if you have leftover food when you are leaving, take it by the kauai food bank! They are super appreciative of donations and it helps those in need :)
