Comments on: Air Travel Weak?; Non Existent Hawaii Packages?; Tahiti or Hawaii? http://beatofhawaii.com/air-travel-weak-non-existent-hawaii-packages-tahiti-or-hawaii/ A Travel Chronicle from Hawaii Sun, 07 Sep 2008 14:39:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Jeff http://beatofhawaii.com/air-travel-weak-non-existent-hawaii-packages-tahiti-or-hawaii/#comment-1132 Jeff Mon, 12 May 2008 23:11:18 +0000 http://beatofhawaii.com/?p=360#comment-1132 Mahalo for your comment Mikey. I still like the Kiahuna Plantation. As you said, it has a very pleasant feel, and I really like the location and beach. My comments were only about about the Sheraton and Princeville hotels, as the person raising the issue was planning on a stay using Points. Kiahuna isn't particularly elegant, and there are noise issues of two kinds. The one you mentioned plus the construction going on next door for the new Ko'a Kea Hotel, due to open in August. But I like it nonetheless. Thanks for the reminder. Aloha, Jeff Mahalo for your comment Mikey.

I havent stayed there in several years, but found it very comfortable and very "Hawaiian". No air conditioners, but a nice sea breeze. Rooms near the road could hear too much road noise, however. The on site restaurant was excellent. Would love to know what the place is like now. As an alternative to the Sheraton on Kauai, how about the Kiahuna Plantation Resort next door?
