Plantation Paradise!
This was our 9th stay at the Kiahuna Plantation and definitely the best. The Plantation is amazing, laid back, great vegetation, you can walk to the beach without crossing any roads, grill on BBQs cleaned spotless every day. It was an easy walk to Poipu Beach to see turtles sunning themselves every day and the odd monk seal too. And a walk the other way along the sea wall took us to Kukui’ula Mall for fresh fruit, vegetables and local goodies every Wed too
And Ivan is the perfect host for this. #88 has a wonderful coastal vibe. It is up to date and you will relax the minute you walk through the door. Expansive lawn off the lanai, we ate every meal outside for two weeks. We love to cook and this the best appointed unit we have ever been in. The A/C is a guilty pleasure, not really needed but nice to take the edge off on a humid afternoon.
We arrived late, and Ivan’s instructions were perfect. He had given us good advance notes on how to get set up for late arrival, if necessary. After a 17 hour day of travel, we arrived after midnight and the AC was on low and keeping things fresh, a couple of lights were on to welcome our arrival. Just typical of what kind of welcome response you will get. And Ivan sent a note a couple of times just to make sure everything was ok. There was nothing needed but it was a nice touch.
I hate to leave such a glowing review because we want to keep this treasure all to ourselves. Take my word and stay here, you won’t be disappointed.
