Helen Discovers Boogie Boarding at Poipu Beach Kiahuna Plantation

On our 2nd day at Kiahuna Plantation Resort Helen Discovered 3 Boogie Boards in the closet at the Kiahuna Plantation Condo For Rent. It was amazing that her first try she rode the wave all the way into the beach. From that day on she was on a boogie board for 1 to 1 1/2 hours each day and got a nice tan on her back. The condo has an adult boogie board, one for a 12 year old, and one for a 6 year old. Helen used the one for the 12 year old since she is only 5'2 ", a tremendous time at the beach, she was the oldest one on a boogie board all 11 days we were at the condo. On this day we went to the Organic Grocery and had a tremendous pizza and salad. The calories were easily burned off because we then went to the swimming pool and then to the Tapas at Casanova's Happy Hour.

Snorkeling and Boogie Boarding at Poipu Beach Kauai

One of the best snorkeling beaches on Kauai and right next to the Kiahuna Plantation Condo for Rent is called Brennecke's Beach. It is shallow water and easy to see hundreds of fish there. We also like to boogy board right out in front of the Kiahuna Plantation Resort. As a guest, you simply go to the Guest hut and get chairs and towels. The Kiahuna Plantation Condo has several Boogie Boards, one for adults, and the other for children. My 67 year old wife loves to boogy board on Poipu Beach.

Wonderful Fish Dinner at Kiahuna Plantation Condo

Today we bought some wonderful Hawaiian MongGong Fish at the Koloa Town Fish Market. We also bought 2 plate lunches. This is the place that the local Kauai people buy their plate lunches and fish. For plate lunches, I had the grilled ahi with wasabi cream, rice, salad, and macaroni salad. My wife Helen had Kalua Pork, ahi poki, marinated tomatoes and hawaiian noodles. Wonderful! We cooked the MongGong by dipping it in melted butter and lemon juice and rolling in Panko. Then top it with dots of butter and bake 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Wonderful.... we added wasabi cream sauce that we bought at the Koloa Fish Market, they sell it by the half cup, be sure to order some. We love it here and recommend this Kiahuna Plantation Condo for Rent, which is totally redecorated. Right now I am writing this blog on the lanai outside the condo as we drink wine and listen to the Hawaiian Music on the beach. All the General Managers from the Outrigger and Castle Resorts are here for a meeting this week so there is lots of free entertainment on the beach. We swam in the ocean today and also swam in the swimming pool, we feel so healthy here. 5 more days to go on this trip. My wife Helen loved Boogie Boarding on Poipu Beach right out front of Kiahuna Plantation Resort. Tomorrow we are going Poipu Beach Snorkeling.

Our Recommendations at Kiahuna Plantation for a Condo

We discovered Kiahuna Plantation 24 years ago and stayed in a number of different condo's including various condo's several times, but in 2005 we discovered Kiahuna Plantation Condo and this is abosolutely the best condo in the resort for a number of reasons:

1. Private, Quiet area with first floor lanai where we eat breakfast and listen to the birds and see the swaying palm trees.

2. The best decorated condo at Kiahuna Plantation, we especially like the new kitchen with new appliances and plenty of storage space. The bathroom remodel is amazing, with a wonderful travertine tiled walk-in shower!

3. Close walk to the tennis courts, swimming pool, and Casablanca Restaurant.

4. Great value, if you go to Kiahuna Plantation.

5. New HDTV with Internet Cable Access.

6. Wonderful Hawaiian decorations and art that makes you feel like you are in hawaii.

7. The natural sea breeze that cools the condo is exceptionally healthy because recirculated air conditioning is not healthy. If you breath this fresh sea breeze 24/7, including sleeping, you will feel the difference.

We will continue to add to this blog by adding more comments, pictures, and videos since we consider this the best Kiahuna Plantation Condo for Rent on Poipu Beach, Kauai.
