Friendly and informative staff of the great restaurants right in Lihue. The pool was quite refreshing and relaxing. Breakfast was good with some fresh fruit, yogurt, and coffee. Our breakfast assistant was very handy with a soaker gun in order to keep the chickens from stealing your food. This Kauai where chickens run wild all over the island.
