LBR information

As an owner of LBR for 12 years, I'd like to share some building information to those who are shopping for a rental here.
It is only fair to inform newcomers to this resort that there are three different buildings and they are all very different. This is my opinion:
The first building is the Alii, it is my favorite of all three, all rooms have fantastic view of the beach from the lanai. We just went this past January and had to force ourselves to leave the resort to do other things as we loved sitting on the lanai, watching hundreds of whales jump. I guess the only negative about this building is the road is visable, but we loved watching the ocean and didnt mind the cars. There is some construction going on behind the units at this time, it did not bother us in the master bedroom but our guest did hear it after 7 a.m. each morning.

The middle building is the Banyon, this has a very pretty pool, some rooms have good ocean view but not all of them and it is important to find out what room you are assigned. This building is nearest to the check in area.

The last building is the Coral building, which has never appealed to me and I personally would not have the same experience at this resort without the fantastic up front view I receive with the Alii. I was told the Coral building also doesn't have washer / dryer in each room.

If you are shopping for a rental in this resort, find out which room and which building it is for and contact the front desk, they can answer any questions you have.

Do any of these rooms, in any building, have AC? We'd be going in December... what's the weather like then?

thanks!

I'm not aware that any rooms have ac but we just returned from a week there and we barely turned on our ceiling fans. If you open the sliding doors in the front and the windows in the back there is an awesome breeze that goes through. I was told by a guest that was in the coral building that you don't get as much of a breeze there but we stayed in that building the first time we went there and it was ok. We bought in the alii because it is the nicest as far as view and being quiet.

AC - you won't need it, especially in December. There are always cool breezes, and the units are positioned so the breezes flow right through the unit.

Weather - Always nice on Kauai, never too hot, never too cold. December might have a few overcast days, but never really bad. We were there in December 2007, and had a couple days where we had some light rain, but it was only on part of the island. Since Lawai Beach is on the south side of the island, it doesn't get much rain. If it does happen to rain while you are there, just take a drive to the west - it seldom rains on that side of the island, and there are plenty of nice beaches there as well.

If you don't have the blue guide book - "The Ultimate
Kauai Guidebook" - get it! It will guide you to all the good places to see, and to eat. It's far better than ANY other guidebook about Kauai.

You'll love it there!
