8.8/10 Excellent! (1,003 reviews)
Beautiful partial ocean view with a swimmable sandy beach and chairs, large bedroom and bathroom, smaller second bathroom, fast Wi-Fi, two small balconies, large ceiling fans, a large, beautiful, fully equipped kitchen, stacked washer and dryer (very nice for drying swimsuits), friendly service, flowers and manicured grounds, a great gym, a large pool with two water slides for kids to enjoy, and three hot tubs. Perfect location next to shopping and a grocery store. Free parking. A restaurant on-site, but I recommend making reservations. My family plans to stay here again! This is the best resort on Kauai!
