OUTRIGGER Kauaʻi Beach Resort & Spa
The newly-renovated property is lovely. Highly recommend it for facility and location. Note that building permit rules prohibit cooking in room, so there is no microwave or utensils. Also, there is only one microwave for the ENTIRE facility located near an ice machine. MORE need to be added !!!
