Daylas place was awesome. We have just returned from 2 weeks there. We had originally planned to stay in Kapoho on the Big Island but the volcano had a different agenda. Sadly Kapoho no longer exists. But because of this, we have now found a new favourite place at Dayla's. The unit is nicely decorated, the A/C in the lounge and the standing fan in the bedroom were so good. The bed is comfortable. The lounge was small but perfectly adequate for the two of us. The kitchen is really well stocked and it was fantastic having a full kitchen. Everything as clean and good quality. The condo amenities were great. We swam in the very clean lagoon each day - sometimes twice. It is awesome being in the lagoon when the bigger waves hit the rockwall. The two swimming pools were lovely, and cleaned daily. Our favorite was the smaller pool you look down on from the unit. Location: We loved the location for our second visit to Hawaii. We don't like Waikiki so were tossing up between Dayla's and a place in Kailua on the East side (we stayed there last time). I'm so glad we choose Dayla's. We love the West shore - warts and all. Great beaches, warmer, less rain, family orientated. There is more homelessness on this side but they keep to themselves. A car is pretty much essential. The drive into town can be a bit longer than other regions. You can avoid it by choosing the times you travel. Although the rush hour wasn't as bad as I was expecting. awe spent longer in traffic when we went up to the North Shore. There is the bus which takes you into Waikiki, but the high number of stops makes the trip quite long. The locals said the "C" bus is the one to get, but we had a car so didn't try it. Recommendations: If it was my first trip to Oahu, I would spend 2-3 days in Waikiki - just to do the touristy things, then spend the rest of the time on the West shore and experience the real Hawaii. For a second trip stay the whole time on West shore and I'd definitely recommend Dayla's place. We'll be back....I hope.
