Secret Beach Tours and Activities

Do not expect a hotel! KPH is a low budget motel (their words, not mine!) for a price you can rent an actual hotel room in Palo Alto, CA. The room advertised as “Standard Studio, Mountain View”, priced at about $170 on Expedia, has no mountain view, and is tiny. Shower and toilet are tiny and both are basic at best. The room, priced at about $170 on Expedia, is tiny. Shower and toilet are tiny and both are basic at best. There is no way to avoid hearing the office staff chat with incoming guests or even guests or staff passing by. since all windows are screen covers with glass shatters. The door has wooden shatters that cannot be closed . Nothing to stop out side noise by people, weather or the sound of a rolling suitcase. This is apparently the cheapest room and there is only one. Why and how would I know that? Apparently by choosing it I “chose” to hear any conversation in the floor and below, and also chose not to sleep until everyone is asleep. And don’t get me started about the size of the towels- more like hand towels than bath towels and not all so clean. I asked and they replaced it. One good thing I can say is that the mattress was comfortable! You know what, keep everything, but please don’t call it a Hotel and let us know that a $170 room is really more like your hallway and not an actual private room that is worth that price.

We've been here before and returned because we like it's location, amenities (some extras), good room, staff, and price. It's like an upscale 70's motel but with good breakfast, use of free beach towels (and chairs & snorkel gear), and great location for visiting the Canyon, Poipu Beach (to see lots of green turtles & munk seals), and boat ride from Port Allen to see the Napali Coast and snorkel enroute - all IF you have a car!

The hotel was in a great location and had a nice room. We did experience cold showers often while there. The bar was good but the restaurant had issues and were not the best at accommodating guests. Bikes that could be borrowed were very limited and had to get there early to get one. Able to walk to most locations or drive.
