This was our second time staying in this suite at Honua Kai. This visit was every bit as enjoyable as the first. This suite is perfect for a diverse group of travellers. The first time we stayed with one other couple, and brought our kids and young grandchild for our second. The layout and amenities were perfect in both situations. Entering the suite, you walk into a large, fully-equipped kitchen open to the living area. You are able to make all your meals while still feeling a part of your vacation group. This living space extends onto a spacious lanai. We walked past a number of hotels and noted that our lanai space was definitely the nicest of them all. We had the large glass-paneled doors open for the majority of our stay - feels like you are living in the outdoors. Most of our meals were enjoyed in this space - space to accommodate a large group. Our grandson loved the fact that he could watch many different varieties of birds from the deck.
Two bedrooms and two baths extend off of the main living space. My daughter and son-in-law used one while we used the other. They had more than enough space to have their two-year-old sleep in the king-size bed with them, but were pleasantly surprised to find a playpen in the closet. More than enough closet/storage space to allow you to avoid "living out of a suitcase". LARGE bathrooms. The lawn chairs and snorkel gear provided were put to good use and we were able to see some beautiful fish, coral, and a number of turtles at our beach.
The pool space was amazing, with several different areas - hot tubs, large pools, water slide, kiddie pool, waterfalls. We could have just spent the entire week around the pool. Tons of friendly guests willing to recommend different spots and restaurants to visit, all easily accessible from the hotel. We had Mother's Day brunch at Duke's and the service and food were great. You can walk along the beach path past Black Rock and Whaler's Village. Fun to go and eat at the Hula Grill and enjoy the crowds in the village at night.
We will be back!
