Vacation review for Palaka in Hanalei, Kauai:
Palaka house is a lovely old plantation style cottage with a wonderful lanai to view the peaceful Hanalei Bay. Every morning we would have our breakfast on the lanai and most evenings watch the sunset from there. The company that manages the property was very helpful and friendly when we had a few issues come up. One of the problems is that mosquitos were entering the house and biting us! This is a reality in the tropical area of Hanalei, so we got some candles and mosquito traps and that seemed to take care of the problem Even though the beach is across the street, there is not public access there. You will need to walk or drive down to the public area. The water is very calm and great for children, but you will not be able to snorkle here. There is a popular surfing area near the pier, also there is a lifeguard at the public beach. Palaka house has an outside shower that has hot water, which we really loved! We also loved that the house is very private, with a yard surrounding it, so you have that feeling of home. Only drawbacks were the mosquitos and the roosters that start crowing very early! Thankfully I brought earplugs, but after the first few nights I didn't even need them, because I got used to the roosters and they didn't wake me up. I would stay here again because it gave me the feeling of old Hawaii and I was able to relax in this peaceful and tranquil home.
