We had a fabulous stay at Hale Kapena! The location was perfect. We were able to walk 5 minutes to the Keauhou shopping centre for shave ice or to pick up food at the KTA. There was also a Long’s Drugs, movie theatres, a bookstore and several restaurants. We went to the Japanese restaurant - Kenichi - 2 nights in a row for happy hour sushi. Really good! We also walked down to the Keauhou harbour many times - also only 5 minutes away - and went Stand up paddle boarding, sunset watching, and to the Sheraton to see people diving/snorkeling with the rays at night.
Most days we drove to a beach either north or south and went swimming, snorkeling or boogie boarding. We appreciated the beach towels, chairs and boogie board. (We broke it so we replaced it with a new one!)
We had our own snorkel gear but there was some to borrow at the condo, too.
We loved the spacious lanai and ate all of our meals outside. Kitchen was well equipped for meal prep.
Really, it was perfect for our family of four. My husband and I and our 2 kids had a blast. Many mahalos, Suzanne!
