The lanai is awesome with a view of the garden and ocean. It is very private. I loved that we could sleep in the living room on the comfy sleeper sofa mattress and hear the ocean waves breaking and not a single rooster!
Kiahuna Beach is lovely and had waves for boogie boarding. The Marriott beach is adjacent and is good for swimming as is Baby Beach at Poipu. Both are walkable distance.
The master bedroom faces the parking lot which is quiet but cars from the adjacent road pass by until 10 pm. The bed is very comfortable. The famous Kaua’i roosters can be heard in the early morning.
