We were very concerned about the view from our room for the first stay.... Waiohai is a fabulous resort and Poipu is amazing, but the resort is not known for its views and the 'parking-lot hales' are not my cup of tea. But...
Upon check-in, we were given a room that met our requests. The lovely lady at the desk let us know that the room was a special-needs room and that we were welcome to check it first to make sure we were ok with it. After looking at the room (which had a great interior view, but some features which didn't work for us) we were allowed to choose a different (standard) guest room. The rooms offered to us (we're Island View) were very, very nice rooms. A big mahalo to the courteous attendant. As you can see below, we have a wonderful room and the view (including our slice of ocean view) is soothing and tropical. Listen to the sound of the state bird! in the background.
Also, the parking (underground) is fabulous. Close to elevators, cool and protected. Nothing easier.
The road construction is almost completely done between Poipu and Lihue. Costco was amazing as always. If your a single-malt drinker, they always have some amazing deals on high-end scotch and some decent bubbly too. Plus, with gas .50 cent a gallon cheaper, your membership cost goes way down!
Thanks for all the positive comments, it really is paradise here and we are loving our 'used' timeshare. :whoopie:
