Independent - accommodation in Lihue

Large pool so you never felt you were too close or on top of anyone. Liked that there were multiple hot tubs connected to the pool area. Beach was close and water was nice but for the many loose sediments rolling on the ocean floor, such as lava rocks, to which I gashed my foot stepping on one. Staff who helped with gash were helpful and pleasant. Many options to eat at the resort. From sit down to grab and go (breakfast). The servers poolside were a hit or miss. On day 1 the server was SO pleasant and extremely helpful, especially getting ice for my sprained ankle (yes, that happened too). She also was quick on delivery of food and drinks, and frequently asked if we needed anything. On day 2, I had to flag down the server for the section, albeit she helped the guests in the chairs adjacent but not once did she stop to ask if we wanted anything. After flagging down, the drinks and requested bag of ice for my ankle never arrived and I had to send my husband to track her down. View from the room was very nice, especially the balcony. It was relaxing to sit there and watch the pool action or listen to the waves crash. They offer daily activities, such as plumeria rosette making, ukulele lessons, bingo, etc. It was a nice break in the day to do the activities.

Beautiful location. Facilities need some updating.

Hotel room and AC were a little outdated but clean. Shower was good and breakfast was a bonus. We booked this room last minute and we're pleased with what we got.
