My daughter and I made a last-minute decision to spend my daughter's college spring break on Kauai. At the time of our booking our choices were either Coral's garden ohana or a timeshare rental nearby for a comparable price. We decided to stay at Coral's because we love to immerse ourselves in the life of locals at the places we visit. We weren't disappointed! We had interesting conversations with Ian, who knows Hawaii like the back of his hand! One day he saw that my face was red from the sun and offered his freshly picked aloe leaf and showed me how to get the gel out of it. We were also able to borrow two surfboards - the surf shops close at 4-5PM, so if we had rented from there we would have had to return our boards by then, even though the waves at Hanalei were the best on two evenings out of our four-night stay! We have fond memories of our breakfasts in the garden just outside the ohana. We would love to return!
