“The beachfront location on Poipu Beach provides an intimate setting; the personalized service with welcome cocktails and leis sets a genuinely kind tone. I appreciate that the dining, especially at Red Salt, focuses on local flavors, and the spa uses indigenous ingredients. It's a spot that seems to blend relaxation with authentic Hawaiian hospitality.”
