Plantation Hale Suites is conveniently located in the heart of Wailua, close to the area’s best shopping, dining, and beaches. There are three outdoor pools to choose from. Grab the sunblock, pool toys and magazines and get ready to hit it. Go for a swim or set up camp poolside, get your tan on and keep an eye on the little ones. When the kids get hungry, fire up the BBQ grills for a fun family cookout. Now the only question is: hot dogs or burgers? If you’re not up for cooking, check out the five-star restaurant Hukilau Lanai, it’s just across the street. Up for some relaxation? You’re in luck! Spa Makaiwa is a short walk from the resort. Unwind with a massage, facial or body treatment – you deserve it.

One-bedroom condos sleep four to six guests and offer garden, pool or scenic views. Standard condos have one king or two double beds. If you really want to get fancy, book a Deluxe condo, they are upgraded. All condos have full kitchens with enough space for your local farmers’ market finds, or stop by the local Safeway. And the complimentary Kauai Coffee tastes even better out on the lanai. Your condo has plenty of room for movie-night blanket forts. Flatscreen TVs have cable and Blu-Ray/DVD players. Pack movies from home, or check out the resort’s DVD library; it has over four-hundred choices! Call everyone into the living room, grab a selection of snacks and get comfortable. The on-site laundry facility will come in handy when someone gets candy on their shirt.

Fans of super-short condo-to-beach distance will love the setup at Plantation Hale Suites. It’s an easy three-minute stroll to the sand – maybe a little longer if you’re loaded up with boogie boards, towels, sunscreen, and snacks. Visit the nearby Kauai Coffee estate for tours and tastings. Or check out rustic Kapaa Town for souvenir-laden markets, galleries, and boutiques. Coconut Marketplace features unique boutiques and shops. If you’re looking for souvenirs or gifts for loved ones back home, check out Del Sol Hawaii, Jungle Rain or Auntie Lynda’s Treasures. You can find apparel at Na Koa Surf Co., Crazy Shirts or Suzi’s Young Fashion. Be sure to stop by Bobby V’s Italian Restaurant Pizzeria for a slice of pizza or a calzone before heading back to the resort.
