Liked: Nothing

Relaxing

Liked: The huge pool, the beach, and location
Disliked: I wish the pool bar area at night would have live music since it’s setup so well and pretty at night with the fire pits and tiki torches.

Superb

Liked: Great hotel. The main bar area left a lot to be desired in the evenings. Service was very slow even with very few patrons.

Everything we hoped for within...

Liked: Spectacular, beautifully maintained facilities on surprisingly uncrowded, beautiful Kalapaki Beach. Our king room was huge, comfortable and spotless, with a balcony overlooking the pool and beach. There was a mini-fridge and safe, Keurig coffee maker stocked with locally grown Kauai Coffee pods. The helpful people at the lobby desk are happy to provide more pods upon request. The swimming pool is huge and never crowded. The beach is perfect for strolling or swimming, with plenty of chaises placed under shady trees. The gardens are lush and beautifully kept, with a wonderful koi pond where we enjoyed a chorus of frogs at night. We chose not to rent a car, and we never missed it. The hotel airport shuttle is quick & easy, and there are fantastic restaurants and cute shops all within a lovely walk along a hard surface boardwalk. There are several restaurants spread-out within the resort - all offered interesting and delicious menu choices. When we wanted to see more of the island (Waimea Canyon is a must!) Polynesian Adventures picked us up and returned us to the hotel after a full day tour.
