Upstairs from the restaurant. The salesperson, Meredith, was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and FUN! Found what I wanted. If you love the Aloha Collection bag- this is definitely the place. It has their newest and some older desirable items. Everyone loves this brand and they make the best gifts.

This is NOT your typical review! I went to Kauai with my family (15 of us!) & my boyfriend bought 2…read morenecklaces from this store; one for his mom, & one for me. (I think it was my fault...between the rum I drank downstairs & my crazy 15 family members, somehow I lost the bag & he paid cash. We thought the necklaces were gone forever. I called the hotel, rum factory, nothing.. I go BACK to Kauai 2 months later thru a series of WEIRD & RANDOM events, the universe blessed me this year, & I was back in this store w/ my mom (who wasn't on the last trip). As we walk in, I'm explaining to her the story "we bought & lost 2 necklaces from here & ended up buying duplicates on Etsy b/c I felt so bad." The lady who works there (I'm sure the owner) says "you lost 2 necklaces here 2 months ago? Hold on a second...." PULLS OUT 2 BOXES. In my head I'm like "no, no, this is not real, you're mistaken, this is someone else's box." But NO! IT WAS OUR 2 NECKLACES! Someone from downstairs found them & brought them back up to the store. They kept them for 2 months! Even though he paid cash. Most people would have taken the $100 & resold them. Free money. But this owner did not. The integrity of this store is such a rarity in this day & age. A true, honest, kind gem! They are just good people. I will always come back here when I go to Kauai. And yes...these necklaces were way better quality than the ones from Etsy! HA! I also bought more items that are gorgeous. Thank you so much! XO Lacei

I was able to find a new luau dress for a reasonable amount of money! Can't wait to wear it next week!

So we drove an hour and a half, showed up around 12:10 as we hit a lot of traffic, and were told she didn't have time and that 'I thought you were coming by yesterday at noon'. Seemed annoyed that we were there, irritated that we interrupted her. I wish she had simply said, no. We would have understood. We will find a lovely beach on this side and extinct this unpleasantness as soon as possible.

For some, I was surprised they were more inexpensive than they looked. Others, my jaw dropped at the price tag. I ended up finding one shirt I really liked while browsing. Unfortunately, the size I needed wasn't available. It's definitely worth a stop and one of the better clothing shops in the area.

She proceeded to ignore me and my husband, until my husband went outside to wait for me allowing me time to enjoy shopping, as he was getting angry at the way I was being ignored. I had several items and put everything back as I was not going to support a business that did not welcome and treat local people with the same friendliness, welcome and Aloha she was showing tourists. Went across the street to Beachside Boutique and Salt & Sea that had no problems welcoming all shoppers and spent my money supporting local businesses that made me feel welcome and valued.

Here are 5 really "cool"…read more.. No wait... Actually Hot, REALLY HOT, facts about our Sun! 1. We can fit 1.3 million earths inside the sun. Did you hear what I just said!?!?!? One. Point. Three. Million. C'mon Yelp! Just let me insert the mind blown emoji!!! 2. It takes 8 minutes for the sun's light to reach our earth. Talk about the speed of light!!! 3. The sun is ONLY 27 Million Degrees Fahrenheit. We're gonna need better sunscreen if we ever visit. 4. The sun is about 4.5 billion years old. Fun fact: whatever you do... Do not google like I just did, "Will our sun ever burn out?" Cause now, I've got really bad anxiety... ... ..... ........ ............ ............................ You googled it, didn't you! Scary huh? Good news is, we'll be dust by then. ;) And last, but not least... Factoid numero cinco. 5. The sun is 92,960,000 miles from earth. Fun fact: Every January (early January to be exact) the earth is closest to our Sun. This is known as Perihelion. So... Now that you are expert on our Sun, on our home, aka the earth... Are you ready to learn a little more Spanish? ¿Listo? Uno. Dos. Trés. ¡Vamos! Del Sol = Of The Sun Cambiar Color = Change Color El sol hace La magia = The Sun makes the Magic Now, Who's ready to make some magic! Just mix... a little bit of Sun + a little splash of Spectrachrome and get ready to say, "ooh!! Aah!!!" That right people! Every single product at Del Sol; the hats, the clothing, the sunglasses, the accessories, the nail polish... Will change color with the UV rays from the Sun! Don't believe me?? Check it out for yourself! Just bring any product in store over to their testing areas to see the magic unfold. Better yet... Pick out a shirt. Select some new shades. Or grab a few of their plastic rings for a buck each and take them straight to the register to pay and rock them outdoors in the sun for yourself! Just wait till you start turning heads... Lighting up the day... Changing Color... One Sun Ray at a time! So what have we learned?? The Sun is really big, it's very hot, and it's super old! And in Spanish... El sol es muy grande, muy caliente y muy viejo! But Del Sol in Kauai... This place, their products, are just plain COOL! So if you find yourself visiting the Island of Kauai.. Come visit them in beautiful Koloa Town.

I do not discriminate: angel, chiffon, chocolate, fruit, nut, meat, you name it, if it's cake, I'll try it. After hubby and I checked out the Lighthouse in Kilauea, we were attracted to the Kong Lung Market shopping center because we saw the sign "Cake" and like moths to a flame, we had to stop to have a slice. We were bamboozled! There was no cake! No cookies! No coffee! No madelines! Not a pink box to be found! BUT it does appear to be a rather nice, upscale gift shop with nice people. Cake, you broke my icing-filled heart.
