We arrived early and the room was already ready. We started in the suite which is roomy and has an awesome lanai and it is so quiet. The views are the greenery around the lanai. As much as we loved that we were very happy when we moved to the Hana suite. This one is smaller but it faces the ocean. Morning, evening, mid day the ocean is always just a glance away.
We made a lot of use of the kayaks, the snorkel gear, the chairs and the hot tub. We thought about using the golf clubs, but I don't do full courses and there are no par three so we managed to do without golf.
Linda, Wade, Jose, Char and Gary are there to make your vacation great. Any question or request was answered quickly and with a smile. I mentioned the tea was getting low and next day there was plenty to choose from. Coffee drinkers have lots of choices, always!!!
The rooms are clean, the grounds are maintained, the pool is all you need to sit and watch the sunset or read a book. The beach is a short walk across the grass and we spent plenty of time playing in the water, walking up and down the coast, paddling out and surfing back in. We found the double kayak a real tub and preferred the singles. Not many others used these so they were always there when we wanted to go out. Some days were calm and some windy, but never a bad day.
The first day there we saw the turtles who make their home along this stretch and then we saw a shark. The black dorsal fin moved back and forth off the beach for about 15 minutes, but that was the only time we saw one. The water was a little murky here most of the time, but we found other places to snorkel for the fish.
We enjoyed the cereal, fruit, yoghurt and baked goods for breakfast and grabbed some groceries from the Times market and Safeway and did our own cooking. The two nights we ate out we walked out to Na Lu's and Coconuts we were stuffed to the gills with very good food.
This location is very central to exploring all areas of the Island and we did just that. I left my book in the library for someone else and we found a few movies to pop into the DVD player as we were not big night life fans. We would rather take advantage of the early morning sunshine and get on the road or the beach.
We also enjoyed the bioluminescence on the beach at night, the quiet star gazing away from all the light pollution, the frogs/toads on the lawn at night and watching the kids Ukulele class on the beach. So much to enjoy just steps from your door.
LOVED IT!
