Seasoned island (and world) traveler reporting on this premises, which is well kept and the management company is responsive. Nice property, good south shore location for Kauai, lack of A/C in this unit will make late afternoons and early evenings quite hot, regardless of window and sliding door/shade management. But that’s also part of its charm, a bit of old(er) school Hawaii. Sandy beach accessible on property, with fat foam board rentals for any aspiring surfers at $10/hr, Marriot right next door with pools and restaurants. Whalers Minimart and Cafe Anuenue (awesome fried rice/pork brekkie plate) in the walkable shopping complex to the north.
Lanai gets a lot do sun exposure during the day, best for morning coffee and sunset dinners. Kitchen small but has all the tools you need. No spices, oil or other condiments provided.
For the price, it’s an okay joint. Not the best, not the worst. Hawaii is expensive, if you can’t find better inventory (like one with an AC ;-), this place is legit. We make use of a kitchen when traveling, but if that’s not your thing, I’d probably opt for a suite at the Grand Hyatt just down the road for pretty close to the same price.
