Prince Kuhio 235 - Ocean View Studio

This was a nice, slightly dated room in a cozy property with a very helpful and communicative host. We did have a couple of issues though. First there was construction going on in the unit next door for at least two of the 3 days we were there. It was fairly loud and annoying especially during siesta time (on a Saturday and Sunday!) but was not quite to the point of being totally unbearable. We loved having the AC and amenities of the unit. The Bed was fairly comfortable but the main problem was that the curtains did not cover a large eastern facing window that made it impossible to sleep in at all. The sun shines directly in your face at the head of the bed and trying to rig a towel or something to cover it is very difficult. Similarly, the light on the AC unit shines directly in your face at the head of the bed all night. So, between the night light blaring in your face, the light and heat of the very early morning sun, and the afternoon construction, sleeping was heavily impacted. Otherwise the room is situated in a fairly good location within close driving distance of shops, food, etc and a nice view.

This was so beautiful and such a great deal for the money. The grounds were like a tropical oasis full of lush plants. The bed was comfy and across the street from Lawai Beach!? We had a better time than we thought we would! Thank you! Would totally book again!

One of our favorite places we stayed on the islands!Beautiful grounds with abundant orchids and tropical plants.Condo was very clean, quiet, and comfortable, with everything we needed. Great snorkeling beach just across the road - we even saw breaching humpback whales from there!Full kitchen had all we needed to make several meals (Hawaii restaurants are expensive!) Laundry on site is great, and VERY convenient, COVERED parking is right next door - Actually better than the condos lot!!Pool area is wonderful- right balance of sun and shade, and plenty of chaises.Short drive to other snorkel spots, Spouting Horn, and airport. Buy your groceries in Lihue, though, because markets are limited on South shore.MUST get white pineapple from a fruit stand on Kauai - may change your life, they are that good!My only criticisms are minor, and not the fault of the hosts - just FYI. First, someone in an adjacent condo was smoking, so we couldn't always enjoy the balcony (tho smoking is prohibited on grounds). Second, Roosters crow at all hours, even before dawn (Island-wide problem, and can'tcontrol the wildlife!) Last, the condo faces East, so you get first light. We were generally up early, but sun might wake you. Excellent communication with hosts, and lovely, convenient, quiet condo. DEFINITELY BOOK THIS ONE!

Condo needs definite updating.
