Food scene

Here are some recommendations for places to visit either when you arrive or if you have some free time before departing the island. These include Safeway, Kukui Grove Shopping Center, and Costco. Additionally, I can suggest some nearby dining options close to your vacation rental in Poipu (Koloa).
Conveniently located on the route from Lihue Airport to your vacation rental, you might consider making a pit stop here if you have extra time. This spot offers a range of amenities, including restrooms, indoor and outdoor seating, electric outlets, a deli bar, a sushi bar, and even a Starbucks. Just across the parking lot, you'll find a gas station, a smoothie shop, a shaved ice shop, and various restaurants. It's also a great place to visit on your way back to the airport.
