If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. If you’re considering staying here and coming to Kaua‘i, do it. If you’re looking to get a taste of local life and aren’t looking for a resort that could be anywhere with a beach, this is your place.
Quick access to Hā‘ena State Park (excellent spot for a quick hike for seeing the sun set against the Nā Pali Coast). Close to Hanalei for great breakfast and juice at Wake up Delicious and Akamai Juice Co, respectively. Beautiful views from your room and the property (make sure to look up at night for shooting stars).
The outdoor bathroom and shower are charming and fun, and Dawn was easily accessible during our stay. The bed was comfy, and we didn’t want for anything. The snorkel gear, cooler, and walking sticks were helpful too.
I hope to come back some day, and I’ll be looking for availability here when I do.
