Perfect location for a 3-4 day stay on Kauai. Really close to the airport with good access to other parts of the island. We couldn’t be happier with the comfort of the unit as well as the amenities of the resort. Fantastic property that has all the food and shops within really easy walking distances. Would absolutely stay here again.
