We didn't come for the room; we came for the weather! The room was perfectly adequate, steps from the surf and the hot tub, just under a mile to Safeway where we ran/walked daily to pick up our rice, sushi, seafood, etc. from the deli. We haven't used a car on Kauai in years. The city bus gets us to/from the airport to Islander on the Beach in less than 45 minutes. The seaside walking & biking trail is fantastic.
