This a fabulous resort--you can pick up your key right at the Lihue airport. Pahio has a counter of their own right next to United Airlines. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, with reflection pools and waterfalls. On March 3, the flowers were huge and abundant all over the island of Kauai. It is called "The Garden Island" and lives up to its name. Of course, it was spring, so I assumed there would be flowers. You are given a beautiful real-orchid lei upon arrival and free mai tais too.
In the morning, we had a continental breakfast at the beautifully designed clubhouse, and that was followed by talks from the vendors of optional outings. The resort offers many no- or low-cost things to participate in. We enjoyed the bingo night, the potluck dinner night, the free music, dancing, and mai tai nights, the free hula shows, and inexpensive crafts with coconut palm fronds. You can use the Internet free at the Pahio Sheerwater Resort, and all the activities at all four neighboring resorts in this Pahio group are included. That really expands your fun! We had a lower two-bedroom unit. It had four sets of sliding doors, each with its own patio, a Jenn Air range, and a separate bar with stools. They provided a set of four beach towels and straw mats and a foam cooler for the beach or pool area. Near the outdoor pool/waterfall is a nice big hot tub with a sand floor and its own waterfall. Very good maid service and a most accommodating staff.
