the apartment was excellent equipped with all the amenities you need. It was very clean and organized. We hope to come back soon.

This was our second time staying in this unit. The last time was five years ago. We were happy to see that it has had some upgrades since our last visit, even though we were happy enough to come back anyway. New flooring and a new hide-a-bed couch improved the looks of the place.
The area is very nice with lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. It isn't "on" the beach, but the beach is a short walk through a vacant lot to the beach. This is our 4th stay on Kauai and Kappa'a is our favorite area to stay.

The unit was clean and nicely equipped and furnished. Really nice that this was an end unit. The entire property had 3 separate pools and was disappointed to see 1 of the 2 hot tubs 'out of service' and the 2nd one might as well have been as the whirlpool switch was very finicky and did not work half the time. Property management insisted that the second hot tub was working, which was not correct. We were right across the street next to a field that had to be crossed to get to the beach/ocean and once you got there, the beach was not swimmable as the water was very rough and the beach rocky. The field was very much in need of a cleanup (trash) as well. We found that locals would drive their cars/trucks to the edge of the beach for easy access for fishing. Besides being on the east side of the island not having sunsets available, the location was great, centrally located on the east side, with easy access to the south end and north end. Easy access to Kappa was a plus as well and 10 minutes from the airport. The bed and living furniture's were very comfortable and quiet. A couple more luggage stands would have been beneficial. Unit also came with a couple beach chairs which was a huge plus for when we did go the calmer beaches close by (a short drive). We cooked out one night at the pool and the grill was lovely, clean and in great working order. Walking access to the Coconut Market was also great. Careful with those heavy suitcases as there are no elevators and there was no ice maker in the unit’s refrigerator, so we found ourselves constantly making ice by filling ice trays. Parking was very convenient, but the use of a community laundry room was not ideal. Overall, I gave it a ‘4’ rating from a comfort, location, and cleanliness standpoint.

j16 close to beach ,restaurants , cvs food land and Safeway , all walkable.the suites location allows view of ocean and enjoyment of the ocean breeze if you can overlook the ghetto wall. The suite also fronts a street that is quite a drag strip ...noisy and smelly .The toilet is uncleanable , cleaned it over 15 times and ended up spraying with Clorox bleach after EVERY use. Sofa is shot ..had to move chair from bed room or else you sat on the bars coming through . Unit may be suitable for 5 to6 days but at present not good for longer periods as there is no cupboard space.The island is beautiful but the above took a lot of the glow off the vacation . Been coming to the islands since 1973 and I don't consider myself a complainer but when you lay out 11 k
Canadian for 6 weeks you expect a certain level of accommodation and its just not here.

Such a fun little place to stay. My family of three stayed here for ten days. We really enjoyed where it was located. It is near a small market store and many good restaurants and grocery stores. It is also close to a nice small shopping district. The complex has three pools and two hot tubs which all the units share so most of the time we had a whole pool and hot tub to ourself. The actual unit itself is a bit dated with older amenities and kitchen supplies. The bathroom shower was the only thing that kind of bugged me because the shower floor would flex under your weight (I weigh 100lbs). Otherwise the bed was comfortable and they provided towels, beach towels, coolers, beach chairs, and other fun things to borrow. It being a end unit made it very easy to access with parking as well as trash and recycling disposal close by. We would definitely stay here again. Kauai is my favorite Island because it’s fairly quiet especially in summer and this little rental made it feel like home.

We enjoyed our stay in J16. The ductless air conditioner was really nice, it's so quiet. The room could use a little brighter light bulbs or more lights as it's hard to read in it at night. Overall we really liked the room and its location.

Experience with property management was excellent.

Very much enjoyed the condo. Felt right at home. I liked that it was centrally located on the island. I will miss hearing the ocean, seeing the sun rise and the listening to the roosters in the morning.

Nice unit, comfortable furniture and space. Full kitchen with all the amenities. Fully stocked with cleaning supplies. Especially appreciated nightlight and scale. Only complaint-bathroom could have been cleaned a little better-shower was dirty.

We, 2 kids 6+14 years old , my husband and i , had a perfect stay in J16 . Everything you need was in the Appartment.kapaa is the best place to stark your day. Thank you very much

Manager's Response

This condo was perfect for what we needed. It was is a great location and was well stocked. The staff was very helpful and everything was clean and well taken care of. We, and a few others had trouble with our keys working for the pool areas, but they had maintenance there to help quickly. We had a lovely time and enjoyed the great view. Thank you!

Manager's Response

Phenomenal location and amenities. Polite and helpful staff, very clean place to spend the week. Kauai was a beautiful experience.

Manager's Response

We spent three weeks in this condo and would honestly recommend it to others. The unit was clean with a very comfortable bed? (so important!). The grounds and pool area were immaculate and staff so friendly.

The location was fantastic and we felt very fortunate to discover this after a few days, as you never really know until there.

If there is anything to improve the only thing is the bbq's were not functional and the kitchen could have used a casserole dish.

We loved Kauai and this is the place to stay!

Manager's Response

Five stars all around. That being said Its not a five star accommodation in the usual regard as Hawaii condo properties tend to be a little dated and underwhelming compared to a 5 star hotel in Vegas (for instance). With this in mind, this place was everything we expected it to be and more. Nice touches like a cooler and beach chairs added to our stay. There is a fence between you and the beach but you can hear the ocean waves from the bedroom and its a quick walk to the water (not a swimming beach in the winter). Everything was smooth and easy. Property staff were helpful and nice. The unit was clean, as pictured and had zero bugs. This was a great spot to explore the island from.

Excellent accomodation. Was exactly as advertised!! Grounds around the apartment were very well maintained. Kitchen had everything you needed and the BBQ was like new. Unit was spacious and well appointed. Dealing with rental company was very good, information was clear and concise. Good location in Kauai for exploring the island.
Would recommend!!

Good email communication, easy instructions, efficient process. Shower control handle could use an upgrade/sliding glass doors difficult to move/kitchen utensils and cookware along cooking spices were nice but supplies (paper towels, detergent, toilet paper were not enough for 12 night stay/need outlets available in lamps/beach towels and chairs were nice.

Manager's Response

Aloha!

We enjoyed the convenient location and all the amenities that this rental offered. Check-in and out was an easy process. Whenever we contacted the property manager, Ms. Kanani Strickland, she quickly responded to any of our questions. The rental unit was clean, well stocked, extremely comfortable and very quiet.

Mahalo!

This was our third stay here. Okay, it may not be the Marriott, but for the money it is as good as it gets. The location is great, especially for visiting both the north and south sides of the island. Foodland, Safeway and Longs Drugs are just minutes away. We would stay in this condo again.

Loved Plantation Hale...although it wasn't beach side, it was so quiet and comfortable, we walked a block to the beach and it was perfect!! Thank you!

Great location for traveling north or south. Lots of great amenities close by. nice view of the ocean. We had a great time.

Manager's Response

I like this corner unit, which has more light. This is a very quiet complex. I never heard neighbors, traffic, nothing. Air conditioning and Wifi work great. Love the black out curtains in the bdrm. The couch which converts isnt your typical sleeper couch- much more comfortable, and comes w extra padding. We had 1 thing that wasn't working, and mgmt right away replaced. My only suggestion would be plusher towels, and 1 extra set of bedsheets (comes w 1 for each sleeping scenario). The very large open field across the road, the view outside, still hasn't changed. Who knows when they'll ever begin construction. Since you're upstairs, you look right over the wall built, and can see ocean in the distance.
Rec'd: best nearby swimming- walk past Lava Lava Beach Club Restaurant (also rec.), thru trees to Lae Nani condo property. addit., they also have protected swim area for young children. Other food rec'd: Sleeping Giant Grill (entrance of Aston Islander), amazing fresh fish. The Street Burgers. Bar Acuda, Hanalei (must have reservation). Other fav beach- Anini Beach, safe to swim and pretty decent snorkeling, lots of shade too. Buy a boogie board at Walmart, and you're good to go!

room clean, bed ,very comfortable,overall good

All the comforts of home. Kitchen was stocked with things like saran wrap, tin foil, as well as oil, salt and pepper.

Great place, well equipped, lovely stay

The unit J16 -- spacious with a comfortable bed, sofa, and pillows (the best one I ever tried), private and quiet end unit on top floor, clean, strong wifi connection,extremely well-equipped/generously supplied, conveniently located and reasonably priced -- was a perfect treat for us. Unfortunately, we didn't use the swimming pool and hot tub, but they look very clean and inviting. The management (Kanani & Sue) is very friendly, helpful, reliable and personable.

To the management:
I hope the owner is willing to invest in a new carpet and replacements for the little puddings on the counter stools ... and if possible, a low-flow kind to conserve water.

We had a great stay at J16 for one week. The place was very clean and well stocked with "extras." We especially appreciated all the items for the beach. The kitchen even had salt and pepper along with very sufficient pots/pans and utensils. Also surprised
to see a magnified "older" eyes appreciated that! You were still able to see the ocean from the room but it appears there is a resort who will be building beach front so that view may disappear in the future. The bed was also very comfortable. Cannot comment
on the pool because our days were busy elsewhere and we never had the opportunity to use them. The location is ideal....about halfway between northern coast and southern coast. Would definitely stay there again.

The Title says it all. A little dissapointed having the wall between our room and the ocean. Being on the 2nd floor was very helpful. Had a good meal at Oasis On The Beach. Kauai is an amazing place.

We recently stayed in unit J16. It was close to the pool and had an ocean view. I wish there would have been a BBQ grill at the pool. The unit was clean and well equipped with everything from beach towels, chairs, and coolers, to a full kitchen with spices and tin foil, etc. We spent our time snorkeling. Plantation Hale is about halfway drive from Poipu and the North Shore. Hope to return again.

My husband and I stayed at J16 Plantation Hale last week. We enjoyed the condo and all that was provided. The bed is very comfortable! Lawn chairs and coolers a plus. The condo is on the older side and some things show wear but it was clean and had everything needed for our stay. The two negatives were the black wall fence separating the condo from the beach and the construction at Coconut Marketplace also surrounded by a black wall fence. These two things made it seem we were staying in a construction zone.

We had a very positive experience!! The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I didn't like the wall across the street that blocked our view if the ocean... But I'm sure that was out of your control. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay!!

Had a lovely time! Condo met all our needs, was very clean, and had all the things we needed to make our stay enjoyable! Three pools to choose from, a place to lock up our bikes we rented for the week, and right near the bike/ running trail! Beach chairs made our beach visits that much more enjoyable! Thanks for the great time!

Apartment is excellent. Location is, amenities in this condominium and all settings inside were perfect for us. Owners are very thoughtful about their guests. We found everything we needed: food supplements and all supplies, beach chairs, beach umbrella. Apartment is nicely furnished, quiet, and private. We will be happy to stay again. I recommend to everyone.

Nice, had appliances, kitchen an furniture needed

Great condo. Comfortable bed and living room furniture. Lovely view from lanai where we enjoyed coffee in the morning. Interesting to hear all the chickens/roosters every day!! Very helpful property management. Only wish the beach was a swimable beach.
Lovely course sand but lots of rocks. Love the Kauai Island. Less tourists and traffic than Honolulu!! This is a great central location and enjoyed day drives to each side of island. Would not hesitate to stay again at this lovely condo.

Great location!Comfortable bed. Very well insulated. Needs a little table with 2 chairs to eat. And a broiler pan and steak knives. But the art work is beautiful. Towels are thick and pretty. Would definitely recommend and we hope to be able to return next year.

This is our second time renting a condo in Plantation Hale. We checked in very late ( around 11.00pm ) and the office staff was available to look after our needs. The condo was very good except that we were able to see a few cockroaches in the night. Other than this we enjoyed our stay. Our only request is that the check out time be extended to at least 2.00pm since all the departing flights are late in the evenings.

Good- Nice vacation,Beautiful weather,Nice clean Condo
Bad- No wifi unless your were in the hallway or half way to the pool
