Sadly our time on this beautiful island is coming to an end. We woke up today and got ready to head for the south coast and our next hotel in Poipu, Hawaii.

We packed up the jeep a got down to the south shore to the Sheraton Kau’ai Resort. We were pleasantly surprised to pull up to this amazing property. We were greeted by the valet who gave us each a necklace of shells. Check in wasn’t technically until 3:00 so we dropped our stuff off in the holding room and headed to breakfast for the time being.

We ate at the Olympic cafe in the shopping village near Poipu. It was just ok. It was raining on and off and very hot and we were slightly grumpy. After breakfast we walked around the shops and grabbed an ice coffee along with a few gifts for our dog sitters back home.

We got back to the hotel around 11:00 and we decided to check and see if they happened to have any rooms available. They did indeed have a room ready early for us, yay! 

This hotel is perfect. The bellman brought our bags up to the room and there is complimentary valet for your first night. Our room over looked the garden and one of the 2 pools.

We cracked a beer and relaxed on the balcony for a while before heading down to the Oceanside pool. This pool is beautiful. There are 2 sections, one spilling over rocks into the other. It overlooks the ocean and has beach and poolside cabanas available for rent. Poolside service is available also, but there is a big bar located right next to the pool. We found some chairs near the pool and sat back and cracked another beer. It was great to relax poolside for the first time this week.

So far we have had a very active vacation exploring, hiking, and bopping around the beaches. Now this felt like the vacation at the end of our vacation:)

Next we hopped over to the garden pool near our room. It was much less busy, in fact there was only 2 or 3 other people there. Sarah sat and read her book for a while but the sun had disappeared and we were getting hungry. 

We went back upstairs a slowly got ready to head to dinner. Sarah found a local Thai and Sushi place called Bangkok Happy Bowl so we decided to head there to eat. It is located back in the same shopping plaza we were earlier. There was a duo playing acoustic covers with a Hawaiin spin. One guy playing a Uke and a lady playing a nylon string and singing. It was pleasant.

I ordered a Thai stir fry w/ chicken and pineapple and Sarah went for the classic pad Thai. Both dishes were good and the service was prompt and polite.

We strolled through a few more shops again and headed back to retire for the evening. Tomorrow our flight doesn’t leave until 9pm so we have the whole day to fill up with Hawaiin goodness before we leave:)
