We have been here since May 1 and love it. We have a car and went to the end of the road on both he North and South Shores. We have walked to dinner about 4 or 5 times already; lots of Mexican Restauants here. The real challenge is trying to do it on nights when it will not rain on us walking there or walking back. We are always looking to vacation without a car since we don't drink and drive but like to drink. Also, since we don't own a car with car insurance we need to pay for car rental insurance so rental car costs do add up. We are also looking to be able to continue to vacation around the islands even when we don't feel we can safely drive any longer.
Yes, we love the Pono Kai and Kapaa has changed over the years. Definitely more Mexican Restaurants. The Olympic has been the mainstay over the years.
We were last there in 2022. What building are you in? I Love the B building while my wife loves the F building. So we usually stay in F.
Sushi Bushido used to be in town but they moved out to the Coconut Marketplace. Sam's Oceanview just closed. I haven't heard if anything is going in there.
Tiki Tacos is one of our favorites but more for lunch but we love their homemade Tamales on Saturdays but they usually sell out.
Kountry Kitchen is our favorite for breakfast since Ono Family Restaurant closed but the wait can be long.
Hopefully you guys won't get hit with the storms that are supposed to come through.
