Its a matter of finding deals....

Poipu along the coast has a bunch of hotels right next to each other. In mid-May/June/mid-July you cant see sunsets from here..instead you have to be on the north shore or the western shore.

The Courtyard has its own beach. There are a few other nes right near here.

Many of the beaches in Hawaii are rather small.

In my trip I stayed at the Outrigger in Poipu and the Courtyard.
