The sea turtles from the deck were very cool, however it was really windy. The kitchen was VERY BASIC, no dish towels/pot holders. No maid service nor did we have contact with one person during our stay. That could be bad or good, depending on what you want.

We have stayed in this property twice now and love the quiet residential location just
South of Poipu. It gives you the feeling of staying in a home and is much more cozy than a hotel. You can easily walk to town and to the new shopping center and is just down the road from the National Botanical Gardens. While the property is older, it is well maintained and is very quiet and private. The management is excellent, very responsive and ready to help in any way. Nowhere else have we ever had direct access to viewing turtles who hang out 24/7 in the fresh water stream bordering the property. The views of the stream running down from the mountains into Whaler's Cove are idyllic and our favorite romantic Baby Beach is a two minute walk. Paradise!

We stayed at the cottages for our honeymoon and we loved it! It isn't fancy - but it's comfortable and has a great vibe. Some of the furniture is from the early 1900s - so a lot of character. We cooked in both the kitchen and used the BBQ provided in the courtyard - which meant that we didn't have to eat out all the time. The cottages are located on a side street but Kaua'i is so small that you can get anywhere quickly from there. If you are looking for a fancy resort with a lot of action - this is not the place to stay. It was exactly what we were after and we were so sad to have to leave there. We will definitely be coming back!!

We booked this hotel after reading fairly good reviews. It was not at all what we expected - not necessarily bad, but not great either. The agent was friendly and they had tons of beach gear, hiking books, etc. available for use. The location was pretty good - we were able to walk to shops and restaurants with ease. However, the rooms were not extremely clean and it was very old. I would say you get what you pay for. I would consider staying there again, but only because we spent very little time in the room. It is located on a fairly busy street, so I would not reccommend it as a place to relax.
