We stayed at Whalers Cove unit # 116 on the south shore from 5/2-5/8/04 and loved every minute. The condo is amazing! Literally feet from the ocean, very private and immaculate (no chickens or roaches!) Rent directly from the new owner, John Sanguinetti, ---------, e-mail -------------------- and save considerably. The offfice staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. We did a helicopter tour with Safari per staff's recommendation and were impressed with their safety-got a better price than listed-maybe b/c we made the reservation the night before or perhaps b/c we delayed commiting-at any rate, seems like prices are somewhat negotiable. Capt. Andy's dinner cruise (the Na Pali coast is breathtaking)-request boat with Raina as mate-she's awesome-very knowledgeable. Gay & Robinson sugar plantation & factory tour was fun & informative. Enjoyed lunch at Wrangler's Steakhouse in Waimea (order the kau kau tin lunch-served in reproduction tins like laborers use to take into the fields with them), Brick Oven pizza in Kalaheo is excellent but REALLY expensive as is grocery store in Koala--better prices at Star market in Kukui Grove shopping ctr. in Lihue. Pick-up all maps, pamphlets, 101 Things to do when you arrive at the airport--most everything has coupons. Most reasonably priced trinkets are at Spouting Horn Beach Park and generic T-shirts at K-Mart & Walmart. Traffic is quite heavy in Lihue both morning and afternoon-best to avoid this area at that time if possible. We had a great vacation.
