Ground Floor Ease w/Lanai, Full Kitchen, Ceiling Fans, WiFi, TV+DVD–Kaha Lani 112

Kaha Lani Resort is in a great location right on a very walkable, long beach. Sunrises are awesome over the water. The staff was very nice and helpful. The grounds are very well kept, the pool is a good size with lots of lounge chairs, as well as some tables. There are two nice Weber grills that are very well maintained, we grilled dinner couple times while we were there. And we need to talk about the (insert curse word) chickens. Kauai is known for lots of chickens, this area is no different. I don't mind watching them run around during the day, fun to see the little ones, and don't mind the roosters crowing off and on, even at sunrise would be fine - as is in their job description. But there were chickens crowing at all hours - like as early as 3:00 AM. I don't know that the resort can do much about that, as they are all over the island, and I'm sure are at the other resorts. Just something to be aware of. This is a first floor unit, with a good view of the water, between two other buildings. The photos for the unit were accurate. Being on the ground floor and where the unit was located, people were walking across the lawn right past the back patio. Not a huge deal, the people were nice, but not a lot of privacy. There were people in the unit above us and when they were walking it was very obvious, I don't think they were necessarily walking heavy, just some thin floors. All could be solved by getting a top floor unit. The unit we had could have been better maintained - although it was cleaned well. There was a leaky faucet, rust on some of the switch cover screws, rusty light fixtures, many of the window blinds didn't work properly. I know the sea air can lead to that, but a few hundred $ would spruce it up nicely so you don't notice those obvious things and are then on the lookout for others. The unit had utensils, dinnerware, pots and pans, but no cooking oil, and just salt/pepper for spices. We've stayed in many other places like this that had some of the minimum things for cooking, obviously we don't expect food to be left, understanding there may be weeks when it isn't occupied. but items such as cooking oil or spray could be sealed. Again, something to be aware of when you do your shopping. Maybe check the unit first in case the last people left some - which we did :-) . We wouldn't hesitate to rent at Kaha Lani again, just not this unit.

Woke up to sunrises, stepped out to the beach and walked through gardens, what more could you want in Kauai? The apartment had everything we needed and was in a perfect location for exploring all of the island. Loved it!

The staff were very helpful at the property. The view from our condo was amazing. The breeze was never ending. Was very damp the last day with the rains coming but without that breeze, it would be too humid. Very comfortable. Will come back again.

This property was disappointing. Several of the rollup blinds were either very hard to use or as in bedroom also torn. The one in the kitchen missing so no privacy. Rug in livingroom was stained. Bookcases were not clean... sliding door difficult to use...one of the louvered windows in livingroom did not open. The furniture in livingroom not comfortable. Would not stay in this unit again. The location and view and grounds nice. Office and maintained people great.
