We stayed for one week in March and enjoyed beautiful weather and the magical island of Kauai. This suite is in a good location to access any part of the island but the highway through Kapa’a can get seriously backed up during peak times (so add 20-30 minutes, especially if you’re heading south).
The unit is a second floor unit facing the highway, though there is a high hedge that provides privacy, but does not block sound. This road is used by heavy trucks throughout the night so this place is not advisable for light sleepers or people who are sensitive to noise. Ear plugs make a huge difference!
The place is clean and spacious with plenty of towels. The kitchen has all the dishes and cookware you’ll likely need and the cupboards have a few helpful extras (e.g., condiments, oil, containers, etc.) so check before you buy large items that you’ll only use a few times. There are also beach towels and toys and foam coolers to use. Plus a couple Kauai books to help plan!
Malia was incredibly pleasant to deal with. The staff at Plantation Hale were also very friendly. The area is well kept there was always a spot to park. There are many amenities in walking distance so you don’t even need to drive everywhere.
