“Absolutely breathtaking sunrises!” This condo was perfect for my husband and I. The kitchen has been updated, the furnishings were first rate. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The price was very reasonable. We were able to walk to dinner many evenings. I can't say enough about how wonderful this condo was!

“We loved our stay at Plantation Hale and hope to come back soon!” This is a review of condo D11 at the Plantation Hale in Kauai. We are a family of four: 2 adults, a girl aged 14, and a 10 year-old boy. We stayed for 10 days: May 31st through June 10th, 2014. Driving from the airport to the Hale is a quick trip. Kauai is a small island and the Hale is located about equidistant from the southern beaches and the northern beaches (which turned out to be our favorites). It’s on the edge of the town Kapa’a. You can walk to the local Foodland and the Safeway and on into the town center, but we were consistently lazy and just drove. Kapa’a is small and feels like a real Hawaiian town (as opposed to Lahue, the big city you fly into). The condo itself is quite a bit bigger than I expected with plenty of room for our family. We brought way too much stuff and didn't use most of it, so we just stored it all in the roomy closets. The kitchen is a good size and has lots of usable counter space and a pass-through to the dining area so you can talk to people in the living room while cooking or cleaning. The bathroom has a huge counter containing the sink, which turned out to be very useful because we had a shocking number of hair products, sun products, bug dope, and assorted toiletry bottles we used every day, and I don’t know where they would have ended up (or where we would have applied them) if the bathroom didn't have this big counter and open space. The bedroom had a brand new king sized bed, which was very comfortable. The pull-out sleeper couch was also new and very comfortable. There was also two nice televisions in the unit, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. The condo was recently redecorated and remodeled. They did an excellent job, as the feel is very modern and the furnishings are quiet nice. The condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a perfect family vacation. We were on the top, second floor. The condo is on the beach side of the Hale as opposed to the highway side so you don’t hear the road while in the condo. Parking was never an issue and we were always able to easily park within a few yards of the entrance to our stairs. The condo itself was very quiet. The building seems pretty heavily built and we rarely heard anybody. I don’t know if the first floor guests could hear us stomping around, but no one complained. The condo complex has 3 pools but our condo was closest to the best one with a hot tub, outdoor shower, pool and an outdoor cooking grill. Since it’s just down the stairs and across a short sidewalk you don’t need to put on shoes. It was also kind of handy to be able to just look over at the pool from our porch to see if anyone was currently using the hot tub. The porch runs along the entire length of the condo, so there is room for guests if you happen to meet people during your vacation. In summary: We really enjoyed the condo. It was very useful and didn't have any real negatives. Also, even though this is a review of the Hale condo, I highly recommend vacationing in Kauai. I've been to the big island, Oahu and Maui over the years and Kauai is now definitely my favorite island. It’s got everything we needed for a Hawaiian vacation: hiking, snorkeling, body surfing and actual surfing, many different beaches with varied attributes, and, it’s all beautiful! Just driving around looking at the scenery is fun. I also think Kapa’a is a great town to stay in, as it seems to be a good mix of size, location (on the island), convenience and authentic feel. We really enjoyed walking around the town and visiting the many different shops and eateries. We loved renting bikes and biking the awesome trail along the shore. And we really enjoyed the body surfing at the beach on the north end of town. If we manage to do this again we will try to get this same condo as it seemed just about perfect for our needs.

“Beautiful ocean views from your lanai” There are spectacular views from the lanai of this oceanfront condo. Every morning we were able to watch whales in the distance while eating breakfast! Two full bedrooms and two full baths would make this a nice place to stay for families. However it is on the third floor without an elevator but we got assistance with luggage moving in and out. The pool is heated and there is a great hot tub. A very nice place to stay that is close to many shops and restaurants but still quiet and peaceful.

“Hot at night” The first night was great. But the next morning when we left the condo, we followed instructions to turn the air down and it was never the same after that. We made sure the doors were shut tight. It took about 2 hours for the rooms to get down to a comfortable temp and every night we slept with no covers on because it was too hot. Seems like the air needs to be checked. We were afraid to leave our sliders open even for a little bit becuse it took so long to get the rooms back to a comfortable temp. Also, I see no reason that the kids can't use a kid-sized floaty ring in the pool and I even saw a man sipping a soda at 10 in the morning get reprimanded and told to take his beverage out. The pool was too strict this time making it kid and family-unfriendly. Also, it would be nice if the landscapers with their mowers and blowers could work around the pool hours. We used the pool exactly 1x during our stay. :(

“E for excellent at Waipouli Beach Resort E406” In a nutshell, this rental was first rate! The place was clean, bed was comfortable, the furniture not dated, the view was stunning, and the pool was sweet. Centrally located with easy access to all the Kauai sites in the north and south. Safeway and Starbucks located directly across the street made getting groceries and coffee mighty convenient. REMAX did an outstanding job with this rental. We were very, very impressed and highly recommend E406.

“Recomendation” It would be nice to have ceiling fans in the bedrooms and a light over the dining table. I did not receive a conformation with my room entry code number, had to get security to let us in. A guest from Billings, MT

“will go back for sure” it was a great experience great location, great place I will definetly go back

“A grand place” WONDERfUL!

“Time in paradise” We all enjoyed to stay in this beautiful house in awesome location on Kauai . House has everything that you may need , from stuff to bake cupcakes to soft boards , beach chairs and toys for children . During our stay we had planty of time to check the whole island and can say that Princeville has the best views , beaches and it is the best place to be on the island. If you have a car it's 5-7 minutes ride to the mist beautiful Hanalei beach or also amazing Anini beach. I highly recommend this property and want to be back here the next year !!

“Relaxing” It was a great place to stay. The condo is well furnished and had lots of amenities. The only negatives are no beach to swim at and the couch needs to be replaced. We love the Kapaa area and all the restaurants that area available.

“Loved it!” My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon and loved it. We booked the Seabreeze Villa and were very very happy with it. The location was great and the apartment had everything we wanted. Although we didn't get to meet Herb and Gale, the service was excellent and the one small problem we had was fixed immediately. We will definitely return!
