OUTRIGGER Kauaʻi Beach Resort & Spa
We LOVED this resort! It’s a close drive to the airport, has stunning views, and the staff is super nice and helpful! The room was great, clean, and housekeeping was so nice. The resort is just enough out of the way that you’re not right in the middle of town, but you’re close enough to everything ...
