Kawaihau Trip

Great spot for an early flight out of LIH. I was a solo traveler so the small room was not a problem(no room for a chair). This is an older property but well maintained and has a welcoming staff. Despite the room size there was still a well-equipped kitchenette. I would stay here again for an overnight.

No view but price reflects that. Beach is very close. Restaurant is very good!

This resort is much under construction & required much backtracking for us to get where we were going… it was ‘up this first elevator, then walk down a hall, around a couple corners to where a second elevator would then take us down to where we’d again be able to walk down a long hall & turn some corners (for us to get to the room) then for us to get to lobby or car, we’d reverse all those steps. As a disabled Veteran (with a TBI it was a bit confusing & not clearly marked. Even a map at elevators would have helped. Though complicated, this backtracking around the property was “manageable”.. it was the problematic stench caused by the construction that I had issue with. At first I thought the 3-4 “Luxury Port-A-Potties” (all banked together) that sat directly in the drive thru/drop off section to check in & out and to gain access to the property were for construction workers but found out they are for lobby guests). but the thing I found most disconcerting was realizing that the Outrigger empty’s and drain’s the 3-4 “Luxury Port a Potties” The potty’s directly in the actual “drive thru & drop off” loop section of the Lobby, Bellman & Store. With favorable winds blowing the horrific, stomach turning stench into the front desk/lobby area & the only on property ‘shopping hub’ area of the resort it was extremely unpleasant & the odor languished for quite a long time.
