The Kapaa side of the island was optimal for us for sightseeing around the island and has plenty of townie things within a short walk, including a grocery store/sandwich shop, and a few on the beach restaurants (Lava Lava always had a musician). I thought this resort was just the right size, its buildings smartly laid out, and the landscaping was gorgeous. I think this unit has one of the best views, overlooking the pool area, and the beach. The unit had all we needed, and Esther was very attentive.
