The kitchen is a gourmet's delight, with a Jenn-Aire grill/oven, a full-sized refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. You can cook some great steaks right in the unit and serve with salad and fresh pineapple from the Farmer's Markets in Hanalei, which is north of Princeville, or in Kapa'a, which is south of Princeville.

We take advantage of the kitchen by packing sandwiches for our day excursions to snorkel at Hanalei Bay. Breakfast is easy as well.  We always have fresh island fruits and juices in the mornings, along with our toast and coffee.  The kitchen has a coffeemaker, toaster, and all the kitchen gadgets you can imagine, including the very important pineapple corer. There are enough dishes for your entire family. The dining room has enough space for everyone and there are even a few barstools around the counter.

Two Bedroom Units: 1579 square feet, two master bedrooms and two jacuzzi bathtubs with separate showers. The larger master has a private entrance onto the patio/lanai.  The bedding configurations differ in the units - some have a king in one room, two twins or doubles in the second, some have two queens.  The only difference between the two bedroom deluxe and two bedroom penthouse is that the penthouse is on the top floor and has a full ocean view guaranteed.  Sleeps 6.

Three Bedroom Presidential Suite: 1579 square feet, bed sizes vary, typically a king bed in one master, queen bed in the second master, two double or twin beds in the third bedroom, three bathrooms (one whirlpool tub), laundry room, fully equipped kitchen, spacious living room with sofa sleeper, beautiful and large lanai with ocean view.  Sleeps 8.

The resort has many activities, including lei making and various crafts for children and adults.  The pool is really beautiful and the ocean view is spectacular from the lounge chairs. The hot tub is emptied every morning and heated for the day. There are beautiful statues of sea creatures spouting water that surround the pool and there is some amazing landscape around the entire resort. The area behind each lanai has grass and flowers. 

There is much to see and do on Kauai. You can snorkel at Hanalei Bay; hike to the Napali Coast; drive along the rim of Waimea Canyon (mark Twain referred to this beautiful canyon as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific”); view waterfalls; shop at Coconut Marketplace; go to Farmers' Markets; take a helicopter tour; kayak down Wailua river; hike to a secret waterfall; go to a luau-- there are two great ones on the island; have dinner at the famed Princeville Hotel; shop in Hanalei, home of Puff the Magic Dragon; eat at Bubba's Burgers; shop at the new Costco store in Lihue; take a snorkel boat ride to a calm snorkel spot, where dolphins greet you on the trip. We saw hundreds of spinner dolphins jumping next to our boat, as if they were guiding us there.
