We had a great time. The unit is clean, kitchen well stocked. I have food allergies so we cook for ourselves a lot on vacation. It worked out great for us. Sixth time to this island, it’s first time staying on west side. We enjoyed the pool several times a day. The condo gets hot in the afternoon, at least these Alaskans perceive it that way. Definitely be sure to use the fans for air flow and shutting blinds in afternoon. We used the bedroom ac at night. Mostly we found that when the unit got too warm we went outside to the pool or sat on the beach. We did our hikes early in the morning as always, we visited all of our favorite island places and discovered a few new ones. Like the Cuban restaurant down the road, Coquitos! Awesome food! We went twice!
Bed is comfy. Plenty of towels and sheets, too. Laundry facility on site.
As for traffic, plan your island travels after 8a and be sure to try to get back before 3p. Anytime we were heading back after 3 traffic was backed up, but we live in an area where there is one highway in and out just like this condo. So we are used to this type of travel planning. It is what it is. Put on some good island vibes and chill.
Oh and the Bruno Mars concert was A. Maz. Ing!
Thanks to Teri for the late checkout as our flight didn’t depart HNL until 10p. It was nice to have most of the day to clean the unit and just relax before we had to head to the airport!
The only thing I would consider a negative is that there was a woman in the unit on the ground floor below us with a dog for a few days. Her smoke kept wafting up into our unit and her dog yapped a lot. She was only there a few days and then we thought we were free of her only to find her moving into unit 303, two doors down from us. So now her smoke was wafting in through front door and kitchen window. Didn’t hear her dog anymore, though. Seemed like she may be a resident. Saw her having long conversations with the manager on duty. Anyway, this isn’t Teri’s fault, but it was an unpleasant thing from time to time. I guess it happens sometimes when you vacation. Can’t really do anything about it. But thought it worth mentioning.
