An easy request from reservations...and 2019 Tax Rate

Aloha Castle Owners,

I just received this request from the reservation team.   They all work so hard for us at the reservation desk.   Let's make it easy for them and look at the list of requests.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Aloha,
Denise

• Reservation requests should go to kia-res@castleresorts.com.  Everyone on team has access to this email.
• Please use the new fillable pdf form if for some reason you cannot fill out the pdf form let reservations or Denise know and we can email you a doc. form. The reason the form is important is that:
• It asks for all the required information needed to complete a reservation
• It minimizes missed items and follow-up questions to the Owner.
• Availability requests should be in writing.  Please do not call for availability.  
• If using the Owner portal for availability, keep in mind the minimum notice timelines
• Any changes should be in writing
• GE Tax rate changes in 2019 - 4.712%, total tax is 14.962%

Kauai Eats and Bike Ride

Aloha Owners,

Alan and I noticed this article in the San Jose Mercury News this morning.   Nice article on Kauai.
The links are below.   One link is for the restaurants, one for the bike ride and the last for Kauai Hotels.  Kiahuna is not listed BUT two of the 3 hotels are our neighbors! 

Hope you enjoy the article.

Aloha,
Denise

Kauai Tourism Plan 2019 - 2021

Aloha Owners,

Thank all of you that commented on the "Overtourism" Article that I blogged last week.   Many of you had comments about the article. I was on Kauai when I blogged the article and it was a "hot" topic among the locals as well.  Roy sent me a follow-up link that many of you may be interested in reading.   It is a link to the Kauai Tourism Strategic Plan.  It is a pretty big file so you may want to download it to read later.  

Happy reading.

Aloha,
Denise

Wow!  So many of you are forwarding me info to put on the blog! That is great!  A good way to keep everyone informed.  This item was sent to me from Randy Simin.    Thought you might want to see the wave action and wind.

Thank you Randy for sharing.

Tropical Storm Olivia

Aloha Owners,

I know many of you have probably had guests asking about Hurricane Olivia.  Luckily, Olivia has been downgraded to a tropical storm.   Please know that the state has issued a tropical storm warning for the island of Kaua’i.   Please share this information with any quests that may be asking.
