The room was very welcoming: when we arrived, there was a box of chocolate-covered macadamia nuts, and the TV was playing Hawaiian tunes! The windows were open, letting in fresh breezes and the Blue Hawaii theme carried throughout. Cam had the hallway decorated with photos and information about his mountaineering adventures and was a great source of hiking recommendations when I asked. Probably the biggest perk of our stay was the "Ultimate Kauai" guidebook that I borrowed from the little library in the hallway; it was a FAR better source of info than the guidebook that I'd brought with us and we ended up taking it with us everywhere we went the whole week we were there!We really appreciated the kitchenette, with the double burner, toaster oven, microwave, and electric kettle providing everything we needed for making breakfasts and dinners, with lunch being on the go. We had placed an online order for Walmart in Lihue while at the airport, with a pickup time for an hour after landing, and it was super convenient to just pick that up and head straight to the vacation rental! Cam thoughtfully provided a small cooler in our suite, and we used that nearly every day to take our lunch or snacks with us on our adventures. He also thoughtfully included walking directions to the beach and most mornings we walked down toward the Hyatt.Only a few things weren't quite up to par, but not enough to drop a star or prevent us from staying there again: we'd be back again in a heartbeat!
