We stay at Koa Lagoon because we love Linda , the manager and the location is great. The views from the condo are worth a million dollars. We always get a very well equipped home away from home. The downside is the pool is on the smaller side, and the beach right in front of the complex has more rocks than Kaanapalialii. If your looking just for the nicer, it would be Kaanapalaliii. Your paying almost double the price too. They are know as the upper class tourist area of the island.
