“For a relaxed Kauai visit, this spot feels nicely situated to explore both sides of the island. I like that you can walk to shops and restaurants, and that some rooms offer ocean views; the sound of the waves at night is a real draw. While not ultra-luxurious, the little extras-cookies, coffee-add a personal touch.”
