Our stay at Tony's condo was great! My favorite part of the day was having coffee on the lanai facing the ocean and watching the sun rise! It's also nice having the view of the pool area. The resort roosters will wake you up every morning, but this happens most places on the island! The front desk service was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the on site restaurants and bars as well, shutters and the terrace. The hotel shuttle will take you to and from the airport which is a short drive, only 10 minutes or so, which was very convenient. The closest restaurants (outside the resort) are in Lihue which is 4 miles away and Kapaa which is 6 miles away. You could walk but it's not safe to walk on the road where the shoulder is very narrow. You could walk on the beach to Kapaa if you are up for it. A taxi costs about $20 with tip to these nearby towns. You can enjoy your own drinks on the lanai or happy hour between 3-6 at the beach bar or from 5-6 at shutters with cheap appetizers! Tony sent us a Christmas gift to the hotel which was a pleasant surprise! My husband and I would recommend Tony's place at Kauai Beach Resort to anyone and we would stay again!
