We had a great time and Merris' place! The condo is nicely updated, the bed comfortable, the kitchen stocked with cooking utensils and cleaning supplies (we stocked up on snacks and groceries and enjoyed some meals there to save). The other big plus was a soaking tub which most units in the Plantation do not offer. And the closet in the living room area was stocked with a beach bag, beach chairs, and lots of things to take and use at the beach and beyond. We came during busy spring break season so there were a lot of families and young children enjoying the Plantation resort. We got a lot of use from the Popui Beach Athletic Club - it is open so you get the beautiful Kauai sunshine and fresh air while you workout. There are cardio machines, a group fitness area (we didn't try any classes) and a weight room. There were not showers available because they are currently renovating the locker room space. Food there was average, but the staff and service was great! Merris left behind a binder with things to do which we referenced often. There were great ideas and tips in there to get the know the island - from hikes, to activities to dining recommendations. Our favorite activities were the Blue Helicopter tour and hiking the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail. Merris was great and very communicative. We enjoyed our stay!
