Nice stay. Wish it could have been longer!
Following our four night stay in Hilo, we ventured north to Kauai. What a beautiful island, and our condo at Banyan Harbor was perfect for our requirements. Within walking distance to nearby bars, restaurants and shops, the resort was well located.
Comfortable, clean and quiet, we were extremely happy with our accommodation. The booking process was a little laborious, however. There was no option to pay online, and due to the time difference (Australia to Hawaii), we had to play phone tag a few times before I finally made payment. There are so many simple options to collect payment securely online these days - it would have been so much easier had there been an option to pay by PayPal or another method.
Regardless, once we arrived, we could not have been happier with the service provided by the staff. Kiki, the concierge, was so helpful in planning our tours and taxis, and the front desk staff were polite and helpful.
Kauai was truly the highlight of my 10 day visit to Hawaii - beautiful scenery, great people. We took a day tour with the Roberts Movie Tour - pretty much a tour of the whole island. Even if you're not a movie buff, the scenery is spectacular! And make sure you make more than one visit to Duke's Bar at Kalapaki Bay! Great service, great food! Also took a zipline tour. Loved it!
If I'd have known how beautiful Kauai really was, I would have stayed longer. Definitely a place to go back to!
