This was my first time staying on Kaua'i so I have nothing to compare it to. The selling points for me were the hot tub and the kitchenette since I enjoy preparing my own meals. The unit is quite dated, and the carpeted steps leading up to the unit smell like mildew (it rains alot on the north shore). It's located in Princeville and is removed from most important sights except for Hanalei Bay. Even though they are clearly advertised, the resort fees were still painful, especially since I had no intention of playing bingo while visiting a tropical island. It was fine for my first time on Kaua'i, but I would not stay here again and would instead choose something more centrally located.
