Great pics, Denise! FWIW, I'm pretty sure we were in the unit labelled B. So two of the eight units are oceanfront and one is ocean view?

F, G, & H are all ocean front. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but F also has unobstructed ocean views - it's just at an angle - but so is the coastline it faces.

In the photos that Denise posted, does anyone know what the "other resort" is that is between the Aqua hotel and the timeshare units? That looks to be like a nice location.

There's nothing between them.

The timeshares and hotel are side by side on the same property. The "other" resort is the timeshare. Look at the first picture in post #23 to see both the hotel and the timeshare in the same picture.

Maybe it was a Food Lion??? but it was right down the road and it was a full size grocery store.

I don't think there is a Food Lion west of the Rockies. Could it have been the Safeway in Kapa'a? That's what I recommend - go to Safeway's website and download the application for a free Safeway card for a good discount. But for WONDERFUL produce, check out one of the many famer's markets - the biggest one is behind the mall in Lihue.

You can go to the customer service counter right at the Safeway and they'll
give you the card right away. We don't have one where I live so I figured I'd get
one there. I filled out the form and they gave me the card right away.

FWIW, many grocery stores that use cards for discounts have a "house" card that they'll use if you ask. If I see that they offer discounts with a card, I always ask. No need to sign up for a card you'll never use if they can just scan a house card instead. :)

I think they are all house cards there. I had the form filled out but he didn't
Even take it, he just gave me the card. We go there every year so it's no big
Deal for me to Carry it when I'm there.
When you go to the Foodland in Kapaa, just give them a phone number at the
Checkout and you'll get all the discounted prices there also. It doesn't matter
What phone number, any will do.
We shop just like we do at home while we're there. We go to a few places
Because some places have better prices on certain products, often at different
Times.

If you have any of these cards, Safeway will honor them.
Also, if you turn to the customer next to you and ask if he/she has a card, you'll probably get a "sure, you can use it!".

If you print out the form and fill it out at home, getting the card is a 30 sec. deal and after that you don't need it any more - you can just key in the phone number affiliated with the card.

According to RCI, it seems to be MROP @ Kauai Beach Villas #6050.
