This is the best resort we've ever stayed! They have all necessities that you need for your daily life! It makes our Kauai trip a wonderful one! They have swimming pool and tennis court as well! Just a few minutes anyway from beach!

I read about how some of these rooms are outdated and how some have been remodeled. We ended up with a room that had not been updated in 20 years, room 511. For the price I was still satified because I wanted 2 bedrooms and two bathrooms. Not having AC was not an issue and I can't sleep if I'm hot, so I was concerned about that. We were in Condos near the tennis courts and had 2 pools nearby that were not busy and very clean. The grounds are perfect and well maintained. If you want to snorkle and boogie board the public beach on the west side is fantastic. There is even a sheltered area for little kids. The sand is free of rocks and there are restrooms and showers. We got snorkle gear from Boss Frogs and were amazed at all the colorful fish. To get a newer room the staff told me to call right after the reservation is made and ask to have a renovated room reserved for you. DO THIS! I will post the map showing all the condos. The ones closer to the Ocean on the Poipu Beach side are REALLY nice and I would guess more money. We liked this better than our stay in Maui near Black Rock!

Omg!!!! Our place is huge! We are so happy we chose this place. We love that it's quiet and not a crazy by the pools. AC IS NOT NEEDED HERE AND ITS JULY! We actually have portable ones here and have not used it! The walking paths are filled with lush plants! I am picky when it comes to hotels and resorts etc, this place is AMAZING

Everything you read about this resort is under rated. Comp surf boards, boggie boards, life jackets, snorkel gear, beach chairs and umbrella. Three seating areas on the balcony. Open floor plan. Very nice decor!!!!

Patio furniture in living room

When we first walked into the condo, we were shocked at how spacious the area was but once you settle in, the problems with the room become clear. We bought a sampler packet from the Point at Poipu for a week at their resort but because of construction, they moved us here. The room that we stayed in is the only one with A/C (yay!) but they were in the process of painting the patios so we had all of the patio furniture (there are 3 patios total) in both bedrooms and the living room. When we called to see if we can get it moved out of the room they said we would have to wait until the paint dries outside. Seriously? We were on the first floor and both of the bedroom patios are directly off of the walking path yet the curtains for the room are sheer and you need to pull the curtains taught to try and stretch out the fabric to fit the entire frame. Another issue was that the painters were just painting away when I walked in the room and nearly fell back into the wall out of shock. I would think that any renovations that take place occur when the rooms are unoccupied. The next morning, we woke up to construction on the wall or roof (all we heard was long and persistent hammering and drilling) at 7am. Brilliant! Back to the first night, we took a shower in the absolutely decadent master bathroom and quickly passed out on the super springy bed. The next day, we swapped rooms with my parents and while I was taking a shower in the second bathroom, I looked up at the shower head and found half of it completely rusted. The second night, we slept in the second bedroom that had two twin beds that they had offered to push together and place a plank to create a "whole" bed. It took them a day and a half to come and push the beds together but by that time we had found out that any movement you make on the bed ripples through the mattress like an earthquake so we decided to keep the beds separate. That night my husband and I barely slept. I rolled around on the mattress unable to get comfortable and ended up walking out to the couch at 4am and was able to get about an hour of sleep before everyone woke up. I have been in my fair share of hotels, motels, and hostels and these beds are the worst I have ever "slept" in. We were booked for an entire week but after two days, my husband and I bailed and crashed with my mom in her condo at a different resort. Never again. Minus four stars for beds, patio furniture, and the shower head and plus one star for free wifi and spacious rooms.

Upgrade while you're purchasing. The Garden view is actually a parking lot view. The rooms are huge and very nice. The showers have a big step up into them.

The entire staff was exceptional especially the Front Desk Manager Lena. She was so nice all the way up to our arrival answering all my questions to make the trip special and she even offered us a special accommodation just to simply our stay. The hotel itself is very centrally located, about 20-25 minutes from the airport and other small towns to explore for sights and food. It was so nice to stay somewhere where it's so intimate, that the valets, front desk and restaurant personnel all knew us by name! We had an oceanfront suite and loved feeling like the ocean was part of our backyard. And my light sleeper husband was very grateful for the primarily adult guests because it was unusually quiet for a vacation hotel. :).

The restaurant on-site, Red Salt, has delicious (but pricey) brunch and dinner. The pool bar is convenient (but also pricey). Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a very nice bathroom and a huge television. There was a free bottle of white wine in the fridge when we checked in. The room keys in the form of waterproof wristbands are a nice touch. It was mostly adults staying here and very few families with children, which is what we wanted for our mini-moon. Cons: The parking is Valet only. The pool is relatively small. The chairs around it fill up fast when it's busy. If a pool chair opens up, you can't get your own fresh towels/chair cover and have to wait for someone to come through with a cart to swap them out. You can't access the beach directly from the resort; on a map it looks like you can access Kiahuna beach, but you actually have to climb down from the boardwalk onto it (I did not want to do this and walked to Poipu Beach instead). The food is expensive and the "happy hour" drinks are $19. Overall, it was a relaxing stay in a beautiful location!

I'm here for the first time with my mom (it's December). I don't think I've been to Hawaii this…read moretime of year but I feel like it's summer over here, so beautiful. Mom and dad have had a timeshare here for years, dad passed 5 months ago and since Mom had had a reservation since last year, she took me instead. It's been such a special time honoring my dad who absolutely loved sitting on the lanai, drinking his macadamia nut coffee, reading books and going snorkeling. They always get the same room 2314 - third floor up on the very left of the main building. I've attached a video. The most amazing view ever and SO relaxing. For the first 2 1/2 days mom and I just read book after book. We sat on the lanai and just relaxed from the crazy past five months. It was perfect. For the first two dinners here we ate at the food trucks that the resort now has booked in the evenings. One was pizza (Pizza Poundahz) and the other Mexican food (Baja Chalupas). The pizza truck was really, really good and the girl running it was super sweet. The Mexican food was just so so and the guy running it didn't have 1 ounce of personality and definitely not customer friendly (aargh). But I love that the resort has this option so we didn't have to go out, just grabbed our dinner and took it back to our room. Perfect! Beyond all that I would definitely come back here, although I myself don't buy into timeshares. The place is top notch, super clean and well stocked. The Wi-Fi was easy to connect to. They supply enough coffee filters for a week, and one days worth of coffee grounds. Thank you! Being an end unit, we not only have open windows in the front and back but on the side as well, which is so nice. There's no air-conditioning here which I really think they should have even if it's one unit per room, but yes, the tradewinds are nice, but it's still Hawaii-humid, and sometimes kind of uncomfortable. Mom said they've updated a few things in the room like the couch and comfy chairs, etc. This unit has two bedrooms, the second being two twin beds. In my opinion, they should have a king size bed in each room so you can bring another couple. Kids always love sleeping together anyway if you bring a family so having two twin beds is a little weird to me. Overall, we've been super happy. This location is amazing having a top-notch snorkel spot right across the road. There are so many great shops and restaurants in Poipu. You need to go nowhere else!

There is a workout room on the rooftop as well as miniature golf and pickleball courts (modified tennis courts). There are bbq's throughout the various buildings. The kitchens have just about anything you'd need for cooking. There are a couple of different swimming pools. The beach is right across the street and the snorkeling is amazing. You can walk to Spouting Horn. You can walk to the shopping centers and restaurants. You can rent bikes. There are various food trucks on the property on different days. There is a farmers market on Friday (if I remember correctly). The fruits and vegetables are so fresh and fairly priced. DO NOT BUY fruit/vegetables from the street vendors. Complete rip-off. They have different activities daily for people that like to keep busy. The price could not be any more affordable. What we pay to stay there for a week is less than 3 nights at the big brand hotels in the area. You can buy in fairly inexpensively if a prior owner wants out or defaults. We have been staying here for a few years now. You need to take the Rum tour that's about 30 minutes away. Good times!

The toilet and shower are in one room and then a double sink outside that and across from the weirdly laid out kitchen which is basically all along one wall. There is no dining table, just two barstools at the counter and seating for four around a low coffee table. There is not enough storage space at all.... Two small drawers in a wardrobe unit in the bedroom. There is no way you could store clothes for four people in the place. The studio is really cramped, with even less space in the "kitchen" - there's no way I could stay in that space. The pool by the ocean, on the hotel side is too small given the number of rooms and people. The pool by the villas is a much better size but there is no food service over there. The grilling area needs to be cleaned everyday and it is not. The tables are disgustingly dirty.
