This a Shell/Wyndham resort timeshare property. It has nice studio and kitchenettes. Most do not…read morehave elevators and it is 22 short steps to each floor. When you check-in, they will take a credit card for incidentals and charge about $18/day resort fee on top of other costs. Then they will direct you across to the concierge/1st timeshare contact to get first sales pitch. You can skip and just leave after getting key. I listened to others get the standard offer to get gifts to sit thru a pitch. My room was studio 3rd floor, 44 steps to top. No kitchen, but microwave and fridge. Interesting note is that AC unit is connected to sliding door. If open, it shuts off. Patio is nice, overlooking grass area with BBQ spots and tikis. Grill equipment is in room. Main lobby has bar and restaurant. Coffee in AM and juice is early PM. Good middle spot on the island so you can go north or south when exploring. Due to (prior?) homeless issue (I had no issue), they only have ice at the main desk, also you can get other items like coffee refills there as well. Limited gift, food shop area, but there is a nearby store with all you need. We had no significant issues, other than avoiding the timeshare pitch. Nice location, clean, it is a humid location because it is near the beach and it rains regularly. There are sometimes they leave remodeling items in parking lot, which fills quickly after dark, and the outside trash can also fill quickly. Lots of chickens, which you can't avoid in the islands. I would return in the future.

Stayed her for 3 nights, though I wished I would have stayed here all 5 nights. This is a…read morebeautiful property and probably one of the nicest in Kapaa. Walking in to the lobby felt like we were at a premium resort and definitely put us in the right mood. There's a bar and Hukilau Lanai right in the lobby. You can make reservations through Open Table for the restaurant. There's no valet that I saw when we pulled up or a bellboy to help with your bags. Or at least, I didn't see one or ask for one. The check-in process was normal, but after checking in, you are directed to go see the Concierge. I waited a good 15 minutes just to find out that since I'm a member, he doesn't have access to my account and was asked to come back in the morning to talk to someone that does. I wish that all Shell properties would stop this practice altogether. It's already enough that we spent hours traveling to this beautiful property and want to get to our rooms to unwind and freshen up. We do not have time to sit through some kind of pitch. Because I didn't see the Concierge the next morning, they sent me a text and also placed a door tag on my door to remind me to come see them. First off, you're on vacation and do not want to spend an hour or two sitting through some kind of pitch or upsell. I don't know what the point of the wristbands was for, besides not having to carry the room key with you, it was pointless. So I would ignore going to the Concierge altogether. I don't know what was in the Welcome package and didn't want to fall in to that trap, so I just ignored having to go see the Concierge. The property grounds had 1 large pool, 2 smaller 1.5' deep pools and a jacuzzi. There were also a couple of grills and a bar by the pool, which was great. And I saw them being used throughout our stay. There's a nice walkway to other properties or to the beach. Unfortunately, there's no beach access right on the property. Parking was free and you didn't have to hang any parking permit on the car. One big drawback is that there are no elevators. So you'll have to lug all of your items up the stairs. We stayed on the 3rd floor and had our luggage and stuff we bought at Costco. I wished they would have turned on the A/C in the hallways to help with the heat. It was stuffy by the time we got to the top floor. Luckily, the A/C in our room was working well. Our suite was nice and big with all of the amenities needed for our stay. We even did some laundry on our last day and there were 2 packs of detergent provided. We had bath & pool towels in the room. WiFi was just ok, it wasn't the fastest being at 20mbps up and down. It's fine for 2 people, but could bog down with more devices. One of the best things about this location is it's right across the street from the Coconut Marketplace. You'll be able to find pretty much anything you need there. We stopped by here on our way out to Waimea Canyon and also picked up dinner at the store in the deli area. Was also able to grab some souvenirs and shopping on our last day. We've only stayed at Poipu our last 2 visits, but would definitely come back here again. If you decide to come here, ignore going to the Concierge please and don't believe that you need to get their wristbands. We were able to walk around the property and nobody stopped us.

We didn't eat at the restaurant due to cost and minimal options. Staying in this area puts you mid island with access to great beaches, but, know you are still driving every day a min of 30 minutes to get to a more desirable beach if you're looking for calmer water and the ability to snorkel. The room was fantastic and slept my family of 5 well. Well stocked for cooking. My biggest complaint was the "Mountain View" is more like a parking lot and grocery store view. Also, if you're a lite sleeper, the roosters and road noise will keep you awake. I won't miss the roster crow at 4 am.

We saw a home we were interested in renting on HomeAway.com and contacted the listed owner to see…read moreif it was available. They emailed us back outside of the website to let us know that it wasn't as listed, but that they have a similar property nearby that *was* available. They sent plenty of pictures and even the address so we could Google Map it, and Acacia was always incredibly responsive and helpful over email. What was a little off-putting was the fact that they required a credit card number up front to hold the reservation. Once again, this was all done over email - not through a certified website like HomeAway or AirBnB. We had to pay in full, in advance, using a cashier's check or money order. Plus the emails in Comic Sans.. well, we were booking housing quite at the last minute and didn't have any other options. I did see this Yelp page and contacted the one other reviewer - she had booked with this company but always via a website. It was just a little scary to be sending information like credit card numbers and a full payment without having a website as insurance. Well, it turned out to work out really well! They sent full directions and a description of WiFi & other information once the money order arrived. Our apartment was great (a 1BR/1BA; a kitchen w/ a fridge, toaster oven, microwave, & hotplate; dining area; plus an outdoor seating area). It was spacious, just a 10 minute drive west of Haneli, for just $80 a night. Great location (minus the fact that it was winter and quite rainy - our fault for planning a trip at the wrong time of year). I left my electric toothbrush charger in the apartment and emailed - they messaged back quickly, as always, to say that the owner did find it. They want to charge a $25 handling fee, PLUS shipping for a tiny little charger! I feel like that's an unreasonably high fee. I was quite disappointed. So I guess moral of the story is.. good for housing rental, but don't leave anything behind because they'll overcharge the heck out of you.

This house is fantastic, Acacia was so wonderful to work with and prompt with all our e-mails. We stayed here for 7 days and it was nothing short of relaxing and quiet. We fully enjoyed the wrap around deck, outdoor shower and being just steps to the beach. Most days its your own private beach! Our stay was a mix of hiking at Queens Bath, Waimea Canyon, Hanokopi Falls on the Kalalau trail and lots of swimming and snorkeling. Coming "home" to this beautiful house each day couldn't be better or more peaceful!! We recommend putting Sushi Girl on speed dial, a nice little gem close by to grab a quick bite if you want to eat in and have amazing food. So many wonderful things about this house, I highly recommend it for a peaceful remote get away. Mahalo

For the price we paid from Hotels.com it was very reasonable for a 2 bedroom condo. Clean, modern,…read morehad mini-split AC. Originally we were told AC is extra $30 per day, but somehow it was included when we checked in. Oddly they only allow 5 devices associated with your room, which is not really feasible in this modern age of tech/gadgets. The staff was able to add 5 more devices free. Our unit had a modern smart water heater, dryer, washer, dishwasher, all appliances were new. The chickens on the island when I had visited always went off around 5AM. At times going off at random times between 3 -5am. Not the resort's fault. But what I do fault them on is poor sound insulation. Example is every room has shuttered windows and a screen. NO Wall there. So its easy for sound to travel right through. I wore ear plugs all through the night and still got woken up by those chickens. Also, people above us on the 2nd floor, you could hear every step they made (not their fault). So. be warned, if you are a light sleeper - good luck. Pools were fine, not warm. The 2 Hot tubs on next to the main lobby were hot and nice. The other on the other pool area wasn't as hot. The grills there worked well. We tried them out for a meal or two. No house keeping, but you may request them to bring extra towels, pool towels, etc. through their text system. Convenient way to communicate with staff.
