Disliked: Cleanliness
Great stay near Kalapaki beach!
Arrived about a half hour after check in time. Suzanne and cleaning crew were still there finishing up. Units smelled very strong of Lysol and cleaning solutions.
After the family arrived (8 total), we found that all our feet and socks were blackened by the dirty floors. We all took off shoes when entering! We commenced to clean the floors with Swifters that were in the closets, so that helped.
Overall the units were clean but somewhat dated. Needed new paint and some drywall fixing from past leaks.
The upper bedrooms were roomy but disappointing since there were no blinds on the large windows, so no blocking of afternoon sun and morning light.
The bedroom and bath windows were glass louvers from the 60's that did not close properly. Therefore the bathrooms were always hot, and could hear everything from outside. Airplanes, roosters, LOL. We slept with eye blinds and ear plugs as needed.
Kitchen appliances were updated and had newer comfortable furniture downstairs. Had all the cooking utensils needed. Even a rice cooker!
Had ample beach toys in closets which were a plus. Also left a few others for the next guests!
We stayed a couple days at the Royal Sonesta before checking in, and found that using their amenities during the condo stay was no problem.
We enjoyed our stay and the location near restaurants and shopping. Dukes has great food and drinks, and Sonesta pool bar had happy hour every day that was a plus.
Overall, would stay here again in beautiful Kauai!
