Hello and thanks for the video! Can you please share the name of the transportation company you used to go from the hotel to the golf course?

Hi! We had the bellmen at the hotel call us a taxi and then coming back, we had the pro shop call us a taxi. There weren’t much better options than taxis. If you have a larger group, the hotel was very helpful in arranging transportation.

Margaritaville is the newest hotel on the island built in the mid 1980s, my brother had his 1st honeymoon there after we grew up on the island throughout the 1980s (I was in my tweens and teens). Weekend At Bernie's Part II the shots in from the beach and inside the hotel are this hotel. That movie has a spot in my heart; it was made 2 years after we left the islands for good. I have only visited three times since 1990, there are too many bad memories for me there. Paradise comes with prices.

"Powerful" is a novella- figured you would know that. That is why it is smaller

Yes, I understand novellas are shorter in word count and pages; however, the physical size isn’t always smaller. 🙂

It was one of the roundabouts on our road trip from Puka Dog in Poipu to Waimea Canyon. I think it was at the intersection of Ala Kalanikaumaka St and Koloa Rd. Google Maps shows Hadama Service and St. Raphael Cemetery near the roundabout. It's on the west side of Old Koloa Town. I hope you have a good trip! 😊

I don’t think there has to be an either kindle or physical final choice myself as u can like both or one or the other. We all have preferences and I think that’s great it’s what makes the world beautiful all our differences but our similarities also. I still think those who like a mix of both kindle and physical get to enjoy the blessings that both can bring to your life😀. Great video glad u found some new favourite reads.

Thank you! I think it depends on the time. The wait for the golf carts could be 10-20 mins, depending on how busy they are. We took the golf carts with our luggage when we checked in and a couple of other times throughout our stay. Most of the time, it was easier/quicker to walk.

I think you could have a good time at the Margaritaville Hotel. It was nice and quiet during the week when we went. There are two different pool areas (one with a swim-up bar) and a restaurant and coffee shop on site. They offer lots of different activities like Jeep tours, snorkeling, champagne sunset sail, etc. The snorkeling catamaran leaves from the dock at the hotel. There was no room service and no good beach access. However, Coki Beach is a short walk away, and taxis were always available by the lobby to go wherever you want.

They didn’t have Uber when we went. It was all taxis. If I remember correctly, it was around $150 for the private taxi from the airport to the Margaritaville hotel. For shared taxis that may include other ppl, it was $34 including luggage if you are a party of one and $24 including luggage if you are a party of two or more.
