Best Condo on Poipu Beach

For starters, after 25 years of travel to Kauai, we believe that the best place to stay is to get a good deal on flight to Kauai and stay at Kiahuna  Plantation   What is nice is the wide curve shaped beach that you can see on the photo below and the really nice Boogie Boarding and Snorkeling that is available.   Many nice restaurants are within easy walking distance and so is shopping.   We also like to eat at places on Poipu Beach and Koloa Town that are frequented by the local Kauai residence.   We have been to all the islands and this Condo is absolutely the best.  Poipu Beach has been rated in the Top 10 Beaches in the World by the Travel Channel.  We have been going to Poipu for 26 years.  Spring break is a great time to visit.  All the condos are recommended at Kiahuna Plantation except the ones by the cactus garden.  Be sure to find the best discount airfare to Kauai because it should not cost that much.

Recommended Fish to Buy at Koloa Fish Market

After buying fish at the Koloa Fish Market for over 10 years, we recommend that you buy Ono, MahiMahi, or MonChong. We also like the Garden Rolls as an additional item to buy. In future post we will show you how to fix the fish using Pankow, butter, and Wasabi Cream Sauce. Make sure when you buy fish at the Koloa Fish Market that you order some Wasabi Cream Sauce to use at the table after the fish has cooked. The fish and the cream sauce are wonderful and is better than any fish that we have ever tasted on the mainland. Do not miss a visit to the Koloa Fish Market and be sure to try their Hawaiian Plate Lunch, which is the typical lunch of the local Hawaiians. Don't worry about the long lines out the door, this is a very efficient staff and the line moves fast. Freshest fish we have ever bought! A must visit while you are at Poipu Beach, we loe the place!

Da Crack Mexican Take Out Food at Poipu Beach

We have been coming to Kiahuna Plantation and Poipu Beach now for 25 years, we always loved a place called Taqueria Nortenos, but about 2 years ago it closed down. On this trip we were happy to see that the same location is now serving the same food and the name of the place is Da Crack. It got the name because Taqueria Nortenos's nickname was Da Crack, as in crack in the wall, since it is a small take out place but oh my, this is really good fresh and healthy mexican food. We like the vegetarian burito, the chicken soft taco , and the vegetarian taco. I like to add hot sauce but my wife likes the mild sauce. They have a basic menu of Burritos (beef, chicken, or pork for $5.00 - soft tacos (same choices) for $4.50 a "Burrito Bowl" for $5.00 and veggie choices of veggie burritos for $4.50, veggie tacos for $4.00 and cheese enchiladas for $5.00 as well as cheese quesadillas for $2.50 (with meat $4.50) - and the super wonderful nachos are $4.00. The "add ons" such as cheese, guacamole or sour cream are $1.00.

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.
