My husband and I really loved our stay at Mary’s place on Kauai. The location is incredible! You can walk straight from the lanai to the resort’s pool or the beach, and the resort is right next to a marketplace of shops, including an ABC store so you can buy food and drinks.
There were only a few I conveniences. Firstly, Mary’s place has a lot of furniture, so there wasn’t much room for suitcases. It’s a studio space, with a bed and side tables, couch and coffee table, small dining table and two chairs, AND a dresser. There was no space to open two suitcases without moving some of this around. Secondly, on the first night we were there, we were SO tired from our international travels, but it was Saturday night so there was music right outside our room at the pool bar. It could be worth considering this if you are planning on booking Mary’s place but know that you will want to get an early night. Otherwise, Mary’s place was perfect for a relaxing stay and a base for seeing all aspects of the island.
