I can't say enough about how wonderful this vacation was! Staff here is wonderful and friendly, made us feel at home. While the surf was rough at this time of year, there are amazing snorkeling opportunities to be had just out front. Tunnels Beach about a mile away is listed as a premier snorkeling destination but honestly, the things to be seen right off of HCR were amazing! Monk Seals, Sea Turtles and more tropical fish than I could name are right out front of the coffee shop beach access. My only word of advice is that the currents are strong and you need to pop up from time to time to see where you are and I think that during Winter-Spring, this is best left to those with confidence in their snorkeling skills.
I brought my 5 and 9 yr old children here and while we did seek out beaches such as Anini, Poipu, Anahola and Hanalei Pier for safer swimming, there was still so much offered at HCR for them to enjoy. They loved the pool!
Lots of places to eat in town, but FoodLand in Princeville was a wonderful option for things like poke' and general groceries, boogie boards, etc....
Best vacation I have had in ages...highly recommend!
The staff in the office is so friendly, as are the housekeepers and management. Before we left, we already looked into accommodations for next year.More
