This property is centrally located so it was a great location for us to explore the island. The restaurant was very good. Even though the property has a few buildings that are currently being renovated I was not disturbed by construction noise.

Large lovely unit. Easily accommodated two grandchildren and mom and dad in one bedroom, grandparents in the other large bedroom. Beautiful grounds, grandkids loved the pool and beach and was very convenient having a grocery store across the street. Easy access to both north and south ends Kauai. Would definitely stay here again.

My only question is if the waves are calmer on the beach when the winds we experienced are minimal. Winds made the water and waves rough for swimmers

Really enjoyed borrowing the bikes
Excellent proximity to Coconut Marketplace for breakfast and dinner, we enjoyed being able to borrow bikes for 4 hours and cycle along the beachfront. Sometimes noisy, but only because there was a loud family in the corridor. The 2 pools were good, and the jacuzzi was popular.

The cutest renovated hotel! Felt like if you walked in to a 1960’s hotel. Novela and Del made check in so nice, I felt like family. Had a 15 minute conversation with them. Having free valet is great. Restaurant food and views are awesome. Beach is a bit too wild to get in there but you can’t beat the view and the nightly singers are awesome!

It’s a motel setting and the property description should accurately describe it. The pictures are misleading. The rooms are very small, barely large enough for 2 ppl. We only stayed one night. I couldn’t imagine staying longer with 4 of us. The staff were very friendly. Everyone is nice in Hawaii.
