The condo was absolutely great, 5 stars +++. We were a familly of 4 with kids of 18 and 14 who had the luxury of their studio on the second floor with own tv and what about the amazing huge master bedroom with own balcony... Another huge balcony up front with family table where we enjoyed the 3rd floor sea breeze during breakfasts and sunset at diner times. Wow, wow, wow!!!
Location was great at less than 10 min from Hanalei. All activities on the north shore were within 30 min. Great snorkling with countless opportunities to swim with sea turtles at various locations. Fully equiped beach gear was available making all beach activities as enjoyable as if we were at home.
Condo is fully equiped so we could cook our meals as if we were at home and enjoy the BBQ facility. Resort pool and spa section was extremelly convenient, including a brand new sports section (shuffle board, tennis, basket, pickel ball, mini put) with all equipment provided free of charge.
Must do activities:
- Waimea Canyon
- Ha'ena State Park trail (took us 2 hours to the fall - high pace)
- Surf lessons at Hanalei
- Tunnels Beach (best snorkling with sea turtles) - but parking challenge
- Anini Beach (second best snorkling at 5 min driving and plenty of parking
- Hand feeding of wild nee-nee birds at the condo front lawn
- and so much much more...
Make sure to make early reservation of boat tour for Napali Coast. Our trip was cancelled on us last minute due to boat engine problem. Being on our last day, we had no plan B possible. Last minute booking is impossible.
Checkin-in was fast and simple. Key was available at the door as per instructions and resort check-in also had welcome package ready for us. This is one of our best rental ever. We highly recommend and would go back anytime.
Special note to light sleepers, be aware of the lovely signing of roosters announcing sunrise. This was charming but you may want to close your windows or wear hear plugs if not interested :-)
