My husband and I came to Kauai for our first time and were so very happy we chose Kuhio Shores.

First, the location is wonderful. You are between two great snorkeling locations (literally steps from the condo). The restaurant next door is said to have the "most romantic sunset" in Kauai. It's also walking distance (.5 mi) to a shopping area where there are great restaurants, a cute (expensive) grocery store, and where there is a great farmers market on Wednesday nights with music and beer/wine tasting. Just a couple miles away you are close to the botanical gardens, Koloa, and the other beaches of Poipu.

Then the condo itself is clean, has a great kitchen with everything you need and a lanai that is right on the water. We were able to see monk seals and see the turtles everyday, even got to swim with them. The condos are quiet, safe and well taken care of.

Having Great Vacation Retreats was wonderful as well. We rented snorkeling gear the first day and the office was very nice. They had a bottle of wine, chocolates and local Kauai coffee for us to use in the room, such a sweet surprise. They are available for any and all questions you may have when booking additional excursions for your trip. We missed the little note about the tram that will take you to a restaurant along with a 40 minute ride along the beach, but next time we will take advantage. :)

We truthfully decided we want to come back every year to stay at Kuhio Shores 207. Can't say enough good things about our first experience in Kauai. Mahalo!!!!
