I made reservations for 2 weeks at the Alii Kai thru RCI. Thru reading other post I understand there is a Alii Kai and a Alii Kai 2 at the same location. The posting on RCI just says Alii Kai. Can I assume these are the Ocean front buildings. Have any Tuggers reserved rooms for this resort thru RCI?

We booked Ali Kai through RCI a number of years ago. As you said we booked Ali Kai but units were actually in Ali Kai II. I believe Ali Kai is primarily private owned condos unless that has changed.

To add to the confusion different units are owned by different associations. At the time of our exchange we were in a Shell vacation club.

I believe they did a major refurb not long ago and units could be very nice depending on placement. We enjoyed location and unit size was great. I would not count on much of an ocean view. We had a limited view between buildings.

If it is the same as before you can count on lots of chickens and other birds :)

I would definitely return.

Ali'i Kai

The front units ( actually cliff front) are Alii Kai and are all privately owned. You probably rented Alii Kai 2 which has units all over the property. They are currently going through a full rehab, will be fully done in October.

If you are in a first level unit you may hear some chickens/roosters very clearly. That is very common all over Kauai. If you are looking for a view you would have to rent privately, probably through VRBO. Best of luck
