View from down the coastline.
Alison G.

Absolutely loved this place. Not up to date, but in good shape and the view and setting is absolutely spectacular. Could not believe the sound of the ocean and the turtles swimming around right there! Very comfortable and clean. Great vacation retreats was easy to work with. I only wished they used better products. The soaps and detergents were all horribly scented and full if chemicals. I'm used to seeing more Eco-friendly/healthy products at lodging of this caliber.

I'm being a bit generous here, but, I'm on vacation and that's how I'm feeling. Great location, spectacular views, and the condo. 101A, is very well appointed and right next to the beautiful salt water pool. Knocks are like others have written, no air conditioning and this south facing beach, the units get warm. The bbq is not close to units and makes it really inconvenient. Also, there is NO phone service in the condos. We have both Sprint and Verizon.....nada! The island is spectacular....and this is as good a location as you'll find.

We loved our stay at Poipu Shores!!! Two couples and one baby stayed comfortably in 402A. The view of the ocean from every room is unparalleled. Very clean, new appliances and kitchen supplies, well stocked with towels as well as games/books/movies/island guide books/beach equipment. Designed for a family friendly atmosphere. Very quiet, other than the rolling surf. Jeni at the front desk was extremely competent, polite, and helpful after a booking mishap. Could not recommend her help more highly. We will definitely be back!!

Our stay was in unit 103C . Amazing oceanfront views await you ! Unit has a nice kitchen and plenty of living space downstairs . You can walk right out the door to ocean cliffs ! Half bath downstairs too . Upstairs master offers gorgeous views where you can see turtles and dolphins playing everyday . A nice king bed and a Nice shower . Ocean sounds all day and night . Other bedroom has two twin beds with another shower right by it . Problem with this unit is no ac . We were here in August and there were hardly any winds blowing thru . It was 82-85 degrees inside unit . When cooking , temps reached over 90 inside . Our group of four had a very difficult time sleeping in these conditions . They need free standing ac units or at least box fans !! Furniture downstairs needs upgrading and ceiling fan needs upgrading downstairs too. Unit had plenty of beach toys and chairs ! Tons of dishes and glasses . Everything to cook with . Even had a cooler for beach . Washer/dryer unit upstairs between the bedrooms . Lots of special touches . Complex itself is nice . Salt water pool is gorgeous with unbelievable views ! Water crashing in right below you !The sunsets here are a 10! Walking distance to Poipu beach , though it's a challenge for that . Bbq grills maintained well ! Parking a bit of a challenge but not a big issue . Jim , the onsite manager, is fantastic ! He will help you with anything you need ! Great guy !! This is a special place overall and unit 103c is nice but with a few changes could be unbelievable ! We would definitely stay here again . Mahalo !!

Delightful boutique hotel that caters to adults. We loved the authentic Hawaiian experience vs…read morefeeling like we were in a standard commercial chain hotel plopped onto the island. 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. :).

My husband and I enjoyed spending our Mini-moon at Ko'a Kea in early March. The location is great,…read morewalkable to Poipu Beach. 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!

These are special employees who go above and beyond who need raise or promotion. Already sent this to Hyatt feedback but hope management at Kauai sees this: Morgan front desk, immensely appreciated her help prior to arrival in making sure our stay was as celebratory and comfortable as possible, very nice and accommodating on phone, she was pivotal in making our stay enjoyable as i got sick during trip and spent majority in room Mylene at spa, truly exceptional massage, prior 32 yrs experience shines and this was the best massage of my life. She is also the sweetest and you should request her for your massage. Despite being the last client of the day for her, she totally exceeded expectations and i am so glad i met her Jayden at pool desk, went out of his way to run and find my sunglasses in the housekeeping basement as quickly as possible before i had to rush to check out, so very grateful for him

But it's as close as you're gonna get. The Costco package made it feel like a great value. The breakfast is average. Tide pools was incredible. The front desk was very accommodating. Gina took care of us when we had a small issue. AO the Bellman took great care of us. The pools are unbelievable. They are the best pools I've ever been to. They don't offer free room upgrades. 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.

It's okay to get two or three if you want them. The kids enjoyed the activities provided by the property. One thing I was surprised by was that the property didn't mention a time share program to me. So they don't hassle you line some other properties in that business do. I would definitely stay here again.

I don't even know where to start…read more.. We booked three rooms and paid an additional $3k to host what was supposed to be a "private dinner" for 7 people in their restaurant. Immediately, everyone who worked here is so unwelcoming and unaccomadating. From initial check in, the valet/bellman was irritated by how many bags we had, then we were told we had to go back into the check in line and get a pass for his car after we had just checked in. We went to the concierge and he said he couldn't help us, we had to wait in line. So we did, for 20 minutes - once we got to the front, she told us we didn't need a pass to park. Then we got to the "private" dinner which we paid $3k for...showed up and it was just the table with an ocean view with some curtains against the wall. We asked them to close said curtains, they told us that would disrupt the other guests....when we paid for private room....we had to throw a fit and pull up email exchanges to get them to close the curtains. Then during some high-spirited toasts we got a bit loud, SECONDS LATER, our waiter came in and told us to keep it down. WE PAID FOR A PRIVATE ROOM. FOR THIS REASON. We haven't even left the table yet and I am just fuming writing this. We're honestly very easy people. This was a horrific experience.

The street is not busy so it's really easy to cross. The food is pretty good and the drinks are great! The Luau was easy to watch from a distance if you don't have time or the money to pay to watch the show. The sunsets are spectacular! The resort is close to the little shopping village as well. The one bedroom with kitchen is small but not a space issue at all. The balcony makes up for the small inside space, it's large for a one bedroom and I am so thankful there are 4 chairs and two tables on the patio! The pool is very nice! The activities are fun! This is a good resort for families! I would definitely recommend staying here.

The staff is all very nice and they bring you anything you need right away…read more The worst thing about this place is the strange layout of the 1 bedroom villa. 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.

Great experience on a beautiful property…read more There are so many negative reviews but that was not my experience and another group of friends stayed here. We both rented off AirBnB from completely different people and we both had great experiences. I live in Hawaii. Not on Kauai, but I think what people expect is the beauty, which it is, with the aloha, which it has, and to be pampered, which you can have... but you have to give a little too. There will be chickens and roosters. Bugs exist. Everything is slow on Kauai and like 5x slower than island time on Maui and 10x slower than Oahu. Now, bed bugs and that sort of thing, no, you should not have to deal with that! I read those reviews, and that is unfortunate. This location is massive. Each building has three floors, all walkup. (No elevators) some have AC and some do not. Some have carpet and others are renovated with hardwood throughout. Some have surfboards and body boards, some only have sand toys. Some are a couple of hundred per night and others, over $1K U.S. It depends when and how you book. Read as much as you can. I will make sure to write a review for the unit I stayed in on the AirBnB after reading these reviews. The bed was SO comfortable. I crashed out. My only complaint was the unit I was in did not have creamer for the coffee. A lot is probably due to how a store is located across the street or you can grab some at the onsite cafe... but still. Coffee was available, and no sugar or creamer. It was clean. Tons of towels. The kitchen had everything. Dishwasher. Everything to cook with. Extras. A great spice rack. A little set to accompany a mini bar (no mini bar) but you could mix drinks and cork wine. Extra blankets. A huge lanai. Lots of shampoo and conditioner, lotion, soap. . . 2 parking spaces provided. 4 towels cards for the beach. Free chairs at the beach to use (1st come 1st serve). Cafe on property. Two restaurants at the front of the property at other hotels, but very accessible. Across the street, many food options and a market, very easy walk. The pool and hot tub are further down and across the street, walk or short drive. I would request this spot so seek out Unit 315 in Building 39.

Sure, there's no A/C, there are some bugs, and the pool is at the club across the street. 1 open the windows and use the fans 2 chill out, you're in a rainforest, there will be bugs 3 a short few minute quarter mile walk will do you some good.

The parking lot would get full at times, but we were always able to find a spot. They have quiet hours posted, but honestly, noise was never a problem here. I'm sure they were busy and full because of the parking lot, but we rarely heard or saw anyone! They also have elevator access and luggage carts which was helpful for when we received our Instacart order. Located right on the ocean, we had a remarkable view of Hoai Bay and Prince Kuhio Beach from our living room/dining room as well as our Lanai. We enjoyed relaxing on the lanai, listening to the waves and watching for sea turtles, which was saw many! Locals would come to the beach to fish and even that was fun to watch! There's also a ton of roosters and chickens, and the roosters crow all day, not just in the mornings lol! We also saw thousands of rose ringed parakeets flying into the area in the morning and flying out at night! Showers and foot baths were located in the parking lot to rinse off prior to returning from the beach. We had to take our trash out a couple of times during our stay, and that was located at the end of the parking lot near the BBQ area. The staff was friendly, although our interaction with them was minimal. One kind gentleman on staff offered to take my trash for me and told me to go enjoy my day, that taking out the trash was a horrible thing to have to do on vacation! I only wish the facility had a pool, but based on the fact the backyard of the grounds in literally the ocean, I get why they don't offer that amenity lol!
