The staff went above and beyond and ensure we had an incredible stay. We used points which definitely made the cost a bit less painful, but I think even the cash price would be worth it to stay here. It was really sad for us to leave, but I hope to come back someday!

We were booked at this hotel for a birthday and our 39th Anniversary…read more We were told we had a great room, facing the ocean. Our room location was the last room at the far end of our building, overlooking a parking lot and in a terrible location. Room #6146 We didn't want to question this as we were tired from our plane trip and we didn't want this special occasion to be damped by any negativity. We were highly disappointed in the room and the location. Our room was a bit dated and we were surprized that the Hyatt didn't offer us an upgrade under our circumstances, as we were very specific. We would have paid more if they had explained the room properly, as we were very specific and we would have upgraded. We relied on the Hotel's reservation desk to direct us. They made a huge mistake which effected our trip. All in all, the grounds were beautiful and the service was excellent. We spent alot of money and we were determined to make this a memorable occasion. We were very disappointed.

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!

The service here was great but nothing about this resort that made it stand out. I may sound…read moreoverly critical but it's partly because I've been to quite a few resorts. Why this resort is capped at 3-stars: 1. Only has ONE restaurant, with limited options. 2. Pools are okay, not ones to "ooh" or "ahh" about. 3. Just because there's a small kitchenette and full-sized washer/dryer doesn't mean the room looks any bigger. 4. Overpriced for what it offers. Positive sides: -family friendly -great, friendly cleaning staff In conclusion, I would probably look to stay at a different resort, if I find myself back in Kauai.

The furniture is old and needs to be replaced and it really needs to be painted. Normally when I stay I don't hear anything. This time it was very noisy and difficult to sleep. I would hear the housekeepers rolling things down the hallway and banging them against the wall. Little things like 1ply toilet paper is just not cool in a nice resort. I do hope things will be better on my next trip.

The backyard and the pool: beautiful. Sometimes we decided to hang out at the pool the whole day. One day Dan came over and we picked fresh coconuts from the palm tree. For our stay at the beach, they handed out boogie boards and fins. Kila gave us the sports, playing in the garden. But beware, you will never catch her. ^^ Lynettes breakfast is amazing, with home roasted coffee, eggs, pancakes and her famous banana-syrup.

One of the biggest perks? No resort fees or expensive parking! And honestly, when you have the ocean right there, who cares about the pools? The resort is right next to Lawai Beach, which I personally think is one of the best snorkeling spots on the south shore. It's rocky, though, so definitely be careful getting in and out. The beach is also a great spot for surfing, and the famous Beach House Restaurant is right across the street. The resort itself is a little outdated, but it's clean, functional, and perfect for a family. Having a kitchen is essential for us when we travel with the kids, and this place gave us that home-away-from-home feeling. Another huge plus is that it's almost like an Airbnb. There were tons of beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and floaties for the kids, which made beach days so much easier. They even left welcome snacks and coffee packets in the room for us when we arrived. Those little personal touches were really nice and made the stay feel extra welcoming. And the best part? Being able to sit on the balcony and watch the sunrise and sunset over the ocean. I could definitely get used to this.

Got some supplies and got here around 1:30 pm. Surprise that they had our room ready for us. The lady who helped us was really nice. Check in was a breeze.thanked us for our loyalty and showed us the resort on the map. I was surprised that we were on the first floor. I usually like the top floor since you don't heard the neighbors as much. Plus when we got to the room it had rails in the bathroom which means handicapped. Which I don't like. The wife said t was fine so I didn't complain. One thing I am not to keen on is the wristband key card. Everyone knows that you are staying at the hotel which is good and bad. It identifies you right away to everyone including the locals. I always get mistaken for a local so this can be bad. So when away from the resort I put it in my pocket. The room was clean but seemed small than my other timeshares in Hawaii. We were here for only a week and just the two of us so I didn't bother. Notes about the room. The shower curtain was weak and didn't really stop the water so always water at the foot of the tub. There is only one mirror in the bathroom and no full length one in the room. The washer and dryer are a combo and take at least 3 hours for a load. You can't do 2 loads at a time. I feel like there isn't enough lighting in the room. Plus no night light to get around at night so you have to turn on a light which wakes up the wife. The resort was ok and the pool was outside our room. Pretty quiet place. No services at this pool. You had to go to the main Sheraton Resort across the street for a larger pool and food and drink service. Plus three restaurants are at that location but none at our villas. I guess they expect most people to cook in their rooms or bbq. They wanted me to do an owners update but I'm done with those. So they gave me some points and a free bag. Talked awhile with Antonio our assigned concierge who was very friendly. The beach area is very clean, not much debris in the sand. It is totally walkable. We had a great vacation and would come here again. I was on the first floor. Next time I am asking for the highest floor. I don't know why I got this floor as i never do. Too much noise from the neighbors and bugs. There was a cockroach in the dishwasher when we used it. Yuck. Plus everyone can see into your room. The higher floors are harder to see in. Much better. You can leave the curtains open and not worry like you do here . Less real light. Still a nice place to stay.

My stay at Sheraton Kaua'i Resort Villas came about as a Sheraton Vacation Club timeshare sales presentation. Full disclosure... Marriott brand hotels were my 2nd choice (Hilton brand hotels were my 1st) whenever I traveled especially since my 2nd favorite credit card was from them with points.

Make the most of your vacation with access to two pools, a whirlpool spa, a fitness center, and on-site dining options. Choose from comfortable guest rooms, stylish studios or spacious one- and two-bedroom villas.

Honestly, everyone I dealt with was amazing and treated me as if I were a king - mahalo! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) I had no vehicle, so I simply walked from my room. However, there was a nightly $40.00 fee for guests if they parked on the property, and there might've been some free parking along the many nearby roads and streets. Make sure to carefully read any posted signs.

I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $2,500.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip).
