Great location beiing halfway between the Hyatt and Poipu Beach. Walkable either way. The grounds are gorgeous around the hotel and the beaches around Brenneckes have something for everyone. Going out a little farther, Koloa is great for a little shopping and lunch at Tomkats. Something new discovered- Polihale Beach at the far end to the west but don't try it in a small car- 4.8 miles of potholes but absolutely worth it with views of "other"side of Waimea Canyon and the forbidden isle of Ni'i'hau. Kauai is definitely the place to do ziplining. Kauai Outfitters did a good job of keeping us safe. Secret pool to jump into after that was a huge bonus. Advice for those using this beautiful unit is...bring important spices or condiments if you are cooking. Only salt and pepper were there. And bring earplugs as the air conditioning is kind of noisy. And there is no designated parking place for 620 that we could find but we always managed to find a space. Leave the kids and try Hyatt's Tidepools for a romantic evening with Stephenson Library Bar for drinks and classy pool after. Take the kids to Puka Dog or Brenneckes for a very good(but expensive) hamburger. For a peaceful retreat, the McBride Gardens next to Allerton where you can stroll among magnificent Hawaiian trees and landscape with a lovely creek flowing through it all and you don't need a guide to enjoy. Be flexible and check weather conditions before trekking over to North Coast and TRY to do that on a sunny day. Fantastic snorkeling at Tunnels and Ke'e. Be nice to locals and you might find a good place to park. ALOOOOHA
