Kauai, HI Honneymoon

We enjoyed staying at the resort, in fact we didn’t realize how much until we was leaving on Tuesday night. I was a little sarcastic at first because it reminded me of when I lived on a small college campus, with the 5 towers like dormitories. We stayed in a garden view room, ground level looking out at a mound. At first I didn’t like it, and felt they were placing me in the room with expectations of me paying for an upgrade. We actually started liking the privacy of the room rather quickly. We could leave the curtain open getting natural light and not worry about anybody looking in. The room was stuffy, but when I asked for a fan it was provided within the hour. My other problem was the bathroom had no exhaust fan.
As an advisory to those looking to book. Join the rewards program and take advantage of the corsair service, they are great, and the points add up quickly. But be advised on the way the credit card voucher works. They charge the full maximum amount you say on your card the day they receive the voucher, So be advised if you send the voucher in three months before your check-in you will be charged the maximum you have approved when your credit card is due that month that they receive the voucher. So you might pay two months before you stay. Any remaining balance will be replaced on your card three days after you check out. This is very good to know if you are say a honeymooner looking to use wedding gift money to pay for you honeymoon.
But we loved the view of the cove and the mountains. While their people kept telling us about how nice the Princeville resort overlooking Hanalei bay is. But when we left I asked my wife which she preferred. The Princeville resort, we drove up north to see it to, or our stay at the Marriott plus the pearl necklace and Ming Hwa painting we got with the difference in price. She loves her necklace and pendent from Grandes Gems. Bother way the Jewelry store in the Princeville resort didn’t have a nicer pearl and we will have an incredible painting in our living room so we can watch the sunset from hideaways beach every night. We love the view of Hanalei bay and will be tempted to stay up north, but would probably find ourselves back at the Marriott again. The service was great from the staff.

Only bad meal on the island. We loved the story and the place was clean and nice and everything was great, until we had the food. Made from scratch it was but tasty it was not. She chose the fish taco fried fish and I choose a fish taco grilled fish. And of course we ordered some chips and salsa. The salsa was served in a cut little tortia shell, but all we tasted was onions, The chips where very good but the tacos where bad, price was reticules. Tacos where $10.00 each, chips and salsa where $4.00, and two drinks where $2.00 each. Total a wasted $28.00. Like I said the place was clean and the story is great, but somewhere something must of changed because nobody can send their kids to college making plan food for outrages prices.

Everyone should stop in. My wife and I enjoy looking at art, but had never seen anything we would buy. During the trip we had a hard time with the fact that no picture we found could describe how beautiful Hawaii really is. No video and certainly not my description. That is when we found this painting by Ming Hwa, it not only could show just how wonderful the island is, but also duplicate the sunset. The water looks alive and the picture so equal to the reality. Not over the top and not disappointing like the pictures and video we kept taking. Actually I don’t know of any art gallery on the island we didn’t visit, but this was by far the best painting we saw. Maybe it was just because it had the exact thing we was looking for or maybe we are still in a fantasy but we are thrilled with the art work and love the piece. The greatest thing about this purchase is that it will hang in our living room and we can remember our honeymoon every time we walk by.
We enjoyed the gallery and enjoyed the quality of artist, Be sure to stop in and see what I am talking about.
