Kauai reviews

The location was great (right after we figured out it was by mile marker 14) The rough water in the bay surprised me as I thought it would be very calm for our grandson.rnrnThe house had everything but I would suggest they leave more toilet paper. Each bathroom had one roll as a backup and with three women in the house, we were well short.rnrnWe had a great time and having the family together was great.rnrnJim Starkus

What I liked best about the accommodations was the thought that went into provisioning it with all of the things we would find both necessary and useful, especially the internet wireless setup. Addiitonally, the unit was very clean, and also came equipped with unexpected touches (e.g., boogy boards, etc.).

The unit was fantastic. Tastefully decorated and recently renovated. The ocean view was great as we watched many sunsets from just outside the doors to the lanai.

Mahalo! I loved it. A full sized ironing board would have been nice, but I just got back and I have some catching up on several fronts. thank you, Tom Fenlon

The views from this condo were fantastic! The restaurants and grocery store in the area were expensive but we got groceries while in Kapaa that were more resonable so that worked out great. This condo had all the upgrades and we especially loved the comfortable beds! Great place to vacation!rnrn

Aloha,rnrnWe found the unit poorly designed -- no vent in the ceiling to let the hot air escape -- this would save energy costs as well.rnrnThe "kitchenette" is also poorly designed -- not even a bar sink.rnrnRather overpriced for what we got, I would say.rnrnOh well, Hanalei itself was nice.rnrnRalph Leightonrn(415) 789-1199

We absolutely loved the Hale Emmalani rental. Very spacious, lovely location, the pool table was a hugh hit, as was the rnlarge TV, and the home was very nicely decorated. We would definitely recommend this rental to our friends and family.

Great space and layout in total paradise. Beautifully appointed with local artwork, many ammenities (all top of the line) and extremely clean! Plush towles, very soft and comfortable beds and linens. We loved Na Pali Coast Tour right out of Hanelei Bay, Capt. Don and his Crew were very knowledgeable and professional. Our favorite local restaurants were Postcards Cafe for Dinner, Polynesian Cafe, Neide's Mexican & Brazilian, Hanelei Dolphin, & Princeville resort. We also loved the local Craft & Grower's Markets too! Next time we visit, we would like to take the Helicopter tour, see the Botanical Gardens, Fern Grotto, and a local Luau. My advise to someone else staying at HBH is, the location of home can be noisy at times with local traffic and beach goers. rnrnMahalo,rnrnKathy

It was everything we could possibly have wanted or needed. It was private, comfortable and restful. Our adult children cooked gourmet dinners and the kitchen was FULLY equipped. The best part of our trip...was being together as a family to celebrate my retirement in a most wonderful setting. We have only the best to say about this vacation home and thanks to the owners for sharing of their beautiful, home. Mahalo,Kay

We loved our stay at Hale Makai, it's location right on the beach was so very convenient. The beach it sits on had calm waves most of the day and was excellent for rookie snorkelers. We sat on the beach and watched the sunrise each morning with coffee and twice saw a monk seal on "our" beach. rnThis is our list of favorites: Duke's Canoe Club: excellent food and mai tai's. Lunch prices are very reasonable. Hanalei Dolphin: Beautiful location beside a river and very close to the Hanalei pier which is a great spot to catch the sunset. Jo-jo's shaved ice-the employees have very bad attitudes-but the product makes up for it-tell the register person what flavors you want so you get the lecture about how to order in their store. Ke'e beach at the very end of HWY 56-we swam with turtles. rnLydgate Beach-many varieties of fish and easy for rookie snorkelers.
