PROS:
Beautiful beach
Snorkeling with turtles

CONS:
The smell of sewage making it impossible to sleep, let alone stay anywhere near this place
Cockroaches (plural) the size of dessert plates
Emmanuel, the renter, who refuses to believe these are issues

I wish I had done my research because this experience put a damper on our holiday. Please don’t take my word for it. Look at what others say about Pat’s at Punalu’u on TripAdvisor or other travel sites.

Thanks to AirBnb for refunding my money after I left, although I would have rather enjoyed my last day in Oahu than spend it on the phone.
