This is an incredible property, with a spacious layout for the four of us. The views are stunning, with the ocean right at your feet on one side, and lush mountains on the other. This was a 20th anniversary trip for us. Back then, we stayed in the adjacent building, also in Alii Kai, which also has very nice views of the ocean, but nothing compares to Bill and Cathy's condo.
It's also in a great location on the North shore, close to Hanalei Bay beach, shops, restaurants, hiking, Kilauea lighthouse, etc. There is a lot to do in this area. We swam in the cove at the foot of the cliffs, plus several other area beaches, hiked to the top of those mountains in the distance, took surfing lessons in the Bay, hiked down to Queen's Bath and jumped into the pools, went snorkeling, and just had a great time.
We had sunrise coffees every morning, and evening cocktails each night on the awesome lifeguard chairs on the lanai, where we could watch the turtles swimming by.
This is THE PLACE to stay in Kauai, and Bill and Cathy were great hosts. The personal welcome sign and gifts were a very nice, thoughtful touch.
I'm not sure when we will be back in Hawaii, but we'll be sure to come back here when we do!
Thank you again for hosting us, and being part of this special, unforgettable experience.
