This is a private condo located in the Kauai Beach Resort (KBR) Hotel, so don't be surprised when you arrive at a hotel. The hotel front desk checked us in like any hotel, so no hassles to arrange meeting a host, etc. The room itself was your standard hotel style room. It was very clean and the bathroom appeared to be updated more recently. It made for a good home base for all of our excursions. You definitely need a rental car to fully explore the island. The resort itself was nice but its not the Four Seasons, the pool area was very large and had two working large hot tubs. The grounds were very well maintained. The beach while pretty, is not ideal for swimming, so explore nearby beaches instead. Lydgate, Donkey, and Poipu Beaches were my favorites. Didn't eat at any of the on-site restaurants as they had mixed reviews. Price-wise, I think this was a better value than the KBR rates. We just needed a clean place in a good location as we are too busy exploring to spend much time in the room, and this unit met those needs nicely.
