This was out first experience staying in a large resort complex, as we usually vacation in private homes or apartments. Amir and Maryam's condo is lovely with what has to be one of the best views across Hanalei Bay from the open-concept living area and lanai. The sunsets were spectacular and we dozed off to sleep to the soothing sounds of distant waves. The unit is spacious well-decorated, comfortable (no carpets!!). and well equipped.--If they don't have it there, you probably don't need it!
The safe and swimmable beach is a short walk down a shaded, winding path, and if the sun (or beverages) tire you out for the climb back, simply call for a golf cart to take you back to your room. There are two pools, with a quieter, almost deserted one being a few steps from the condo. Multiple tennis courts, easy parking, and access to lovely walks through the neighborhoods, or alongside the Makai Golf Course.
The only downside was that the one bar/restaurant is not part of the complex, so signing for food or drinks is not possible.
If we return to Kauai, we will definitely consider returning to Amir and Maryam's lovely home. MAHALO!
