Kauai reviews

Guest Rating:

A beautiful unit and resort! We were pleased to find that there were actually 2 "master" suites, as well as a "guest" bathroom. Everything in the unit was high quality, which, along with the well-stocked (appliance, dishes, etc.) kitchen, made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. My son had a great time on the water slides at the pool, which was laid out very nicely, so as not to cluster everyone in a single area. The Smith's Luau remains the best - best food, best show! All in all, a great trip to Kauai, at a beautiful resort!

This was a outstanding value. The property was decorated at the high end and the kitchen was fabulous. We took turns cooking dinner and went out for only one dinner in the whole week . We couldn't have gotten a better view at any restuarant. We also spent hours visiting and relaxing on the grass area right next to the ocean, roosters and sea turtles.

Nick, the property care taker, was very available for any problems that arose. The only one we had was how to work the crazy controls for the DVD and stereo. He also showed us some of the other properties he managed which made us feel even better about our choice.

Thanks for all of your assistance in making it a wonderful weekend for all 10 of us.

The unit was lovely and perfectly located and appointed. Only suggestion is more light, especially in the living room, which has only one small lamp.

The Cottage was very comfortable with everything we could use on hand. The customer service was excellent at all time. Mahalo to Laurel Kenney for her expertise and help. Our entire trip was excellent. Accomodations, area, scenery, Island etc... Our only advice would be for the owners to put in toilet paper holders and towel hangers in bathrooms. Otherwise everything else was perfect.

After being delayed for 7 extra hours at the airport (who can't relate to that?), we arrived in Kauai late at night. Luckily, they were thoughtful enough to leave a light on for us at Bamboo Hale! The minute we walked into the house, the stress from the travel started to melt away and the ooh's and aah's started. The design and detail elements of the architecture and the furnishings are beautiful. We felt comfortable and glamorous all week. Although it's off the beaten path and that may deter some people who feel the need to be right on the beach, we found the seclusion and the lull of the river to only add to our elite experience. The linens, towels and kitchenware were of much better quality than any hotel we've ever stayed in. And we loved having the ability to cook our own meals with the local produce. The only reason I would hesitate to recommend Bamboo Hale is for fear that the word might get out about this spectacular hideaway and it may not be available the next time we want to visit the paradise of Kauai's North Shore! The on-site contact (Emma) was very gracious and helpful when we needed her. MAHALO!!

The Nakea Hosue provided just the kind of atmosphere we needed for a restful stay on the Island. The house was well-furnished and provided the private space that we needed for a pleasant stay. Thank you

What I liked best about the unit I rented was the open space and the gorgeous view from every window! We spent our entire first day at the unit and the beach below, with no regrets. Everything we needed was right there, beauty, adventure and relaxation!

Our stay at Hale Nalu was a true visit to Paradise. The sunny Poipu Beach area of Kauai was a great place to relax, swim, snorkel and surf. Snorkel Bob's (about 2 miles away on Koloa Road) is a good place to rent snorkel sets, as well as beach accessories such as chairs, umbrellas, and coolers. Our favorite beach was the one adjacent to the Sheraton (surfing lessons are available there, also). Good snorkeling areas are at Hoona Beach, Koloa Landing, and adjacent to the Beach House restaurant. Spouting Horn is an easy walk -- go first thing in the morning, and you will have the place to yourself.

The house was beautiful. The back deck is nicely shaded until about noon -- a wonderful place to relax. We recommend Hale Nalu very highly.
