Plantation Hale Suites

Fabulous little find after being let down by the owner of 2417 OceanFront Condos! Very helpful staff at checkin and whilst decor was a little dated the location more than makes up for this. Walking distance to beach (non swimmable when we were there), great set of shops and restaurants and even into town. Can hire a cycle from the local market and ride the boardwalk for miles! Spacious room and an adequate sofa bed - a little thin and can feel the springs. Cannot beat value for money - each set of buildings had there own pool (a little chilly) , spa and dedicated carpark. We had K building which was furthest away from reception and right on the corner which made it an extremely quiet location.

The staff was very responsive, and the location is relatively central - there's lots to do on the north and southwest of the island, so staying in the southeast was ideal. There's a Safeway nearby for stocking up, a Costco about 20 minutes away, and a farmers market in the morning at the coconut marketplace. There's also a really, really good drive-in joint across the street. This location beats any full-service resort.

Flexible check in, we arrived when check in was already closed. They gave us the room code and facility code so we didn't have to wait until the morning. No house keeping, gotta keep the room clean yourself, so it felt like home, it even had a washer and drier. It was walking distance to everything, shopping, groceries, restaurants, even a pharmacy.

This is the place I come back to in Kauai! Location in Kapaa is perfect for taking sunrise pictures on the beach then a quick walk to Coconut Market for Kona coffee. I appreciated getting to prepare meals in the kitchen - adequately stocked! Mayacia made our stay great!

Close to beach and stores.
