I wish I could give zero stars. Our stay started off on the wrong foot, and unfortunately, it set the tone for the rest of our trip. We checked in, and right away, the room wasn't impressive. There was a strange scent lingering in the air--like something was being covered up with multiple plug-ins. Everything felt dated: the furniture, the decor. The kitchen looked decent with updated appliances, but that was about it. We tried to brush it off and went to the pool (which looked much smaller in person than in the photos), then came back to the room. That's when the real nightmare began. My youngest daughter went to take a shower in one of the bathrooms. Moments later, I hear screaming. I run in and see sewage--yes, actual dark, smelly sewage--coming up from the shower drain. My daughter is crying, I'm shaking, and the stench is overwhelming. We immediately called the front desk, and someone was sent to "unblock" it. I begged the manager to move us to another room due to the smell and potential health hazard, and all he said was: "There are no rooms. You can check out, or stay and we'll send housekeeping." Excuse me? This isn't a spilled drink--they're talking about cleaning up sewage with a mop? I asked if they planned to professionally decontaminate the area, and the answer was no. Just their regular housekeeper. It wasn't until I was clearly desperate--three kids, nighttime, a trip we booked months ago--that they finally offered to send us to their sister hotel for one night. But we'd have to pack up, drive there, then return the next day--basically waste precious time and energy. This was a special occasion trip. We paid extra for an ocean view, and it was supposed to be an anniversary celebration. And to make things worse, nobody seemed to care. The manager responded with a condescending tone like I was overreacting. He actually said, "These things happen once in a blue moon." Okay--then have a plan for when they do! It honestly felt like he thought he was doing me a favor by offering a one-night refund or a small room at a different hotel. No real apology. No accountability. Just a lot of shrugging and gaslighting. We ended up staying, but were only refunded for one night. The second bathroom was out of commission (we didn't feel safe using it), so our whole family had to share one shower for the rest of the trip. The awful smell never fully left the room. Also--the in-unit washer and dryer? The washer smelled horrible, was full of sand, and looked like it had mold in the plastic lining. Just gross. This whole experience left a horrible taste in our mouths. I honestly don't understand how this place is being managed. If the rooms are owned by individuals and managed by this hotel group, do the owners even know how badly things are being handled? What was supposed to be a beautiful anniversary trip with our kids turned into one of the worst travel experiences we've ever had. Stay far, far away from this place!!! read more

Mixed feelings. Room - clean, spacious, full kitchen with all the appliances. Blender, drip coffee maker, coffee, kettle, pots, pans, knives, scissors, towels, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, washer/dryer, and trash bags. We had a parking lot view, 2 bdrm, king, queen, pull out bed. However ... The kids bathroom door handle broke. Kids got locked in the bathroom. They said they couldn't help us. Good thing there was a "window" bc they came by the following day while we were out and about. Also, our room door code kept not working. We kept getting locked out. They changed the code once for us after they blamed us for it not working. The other time we had some of us in the room to open the door, and the last time it was when we were checking out. Beach - beautiful, only footsteps away. Pool area - Just ok. No service, and if you want food/drinks from Oasis on Beach (right next to pool) you will have to pay a "take out" fee. So you need to bring all of your own stuff. Kids liked the slide, but it closed early. Pool towels - Closed 20 min early, kids soaking wet, freezing, no towels. Went to the front desk and they said they don't handle anything with the towels and couldn't help us. We asked for more bath towels. They said they don't handle that either. Lazy river - no pressure to push you down the river, no floaties, kinda lame. Oasis restaurant (right next to pool) - charges take out fee (over $10 for taking out one meal) to the pool area. Seriously?! Front desk - doesn't know anything. Asked about pool towels, bath towels, and other things. The answer was always, "I don't know." I almost asked how she got her job, just so she could tell me, "I don't know." Unexpected event - water main break. No water or A/C from 7:30 pm - 5:00 am. Guess going to the beach was a bad idea. Came back ready for a shower. Not happening. Asked for partial refund. Nope. They don't compensate for that kind of thing. Overall, nice but I definitely wouldn't come back. read more

Amazing Resort & hopefully, we get the same room next time as well! What worked out well for us - Clean Room with huge kitchen, restroom. Our kid had lots of fun walking around the unit! - No bugs, no disturbance from any other unit. - lots of parking! - dish washer (they give the dishwashing pods for free!) - washer & dryer within your unit - clean pool and they have toddler pool with beach sand which was fun! - Groceries, food, cafe are on the right across the road! - Friendly staff at the reception! - Beach towels (but they are open only from 9-6pm!) Things to look out for - For the first time, the board for Waipouli beach restort is only on the main road and there are no signs inside the property. you will see lots of signage for Spa and a small glass door on the left for Waipouli Beach Resort & Spa by Outrigger - phone calls from the room do not work, I left voicemail and still got no calls. the easiest way is to call the main number and then reach the reception. - Beach towels are available only from 9am to 6pm so make sure you pick them up if you wish to enter the pool later in the evening! read more

Great for families and groups. Condos where well kept and well stocked. Pool was immaculate and had 3 or 4 hot tubs of which at least 1 was adults only. I believe there were two water slides and the pool flowed similar to a lazy river. It truly beats some mega resorts I have been to Great location. Across the street from safeway as well as restaurants. Plenty of parking on-site. Staff was friendly and check in was a breeze. Now a few things let me down. First, the access keys. The condo doors are coded and same with the pool area. I would prefer key cards or a water proof wrist band key card. Having to remember multiple codes on vacation shouldnt be a priority. The big one, the beach. It 100% reef. That might sound awesome, until you understand you enter the ocean walking on the reef, as in, there's no sand for you to be able to go down and just hang out waist or neck deep. Most people are used to like 20 - 50 yards of ocean with a sandy bottom before they end up over a reef. That's not the case here and that's not good for guests or the reef itself. I really like the grounds so I might be back but the beach is a killer for me. read more

3.5 is the score. We have stayed here numerous times and have loved it - but something has changed. The location is great, the pool area is great but this time I noticed the trash cans were always overflowing, the BBQs completely broken down the door handle in our bathroom fell off, the phone didn't work, and the view out our place was destroyed by a window that needs replacing. And YES, I reported all of the issues. The BBQs were really a mess. Five or six families every night standing there waiting for a turn on the one working bbq that you could only get two of the three burners going. Just seemed like the whole place lacked the detail it once had. Still beautiful and nice pool but when you're paying big $$ to stay somewhere everything should be top notch. Bummer, not sure if we will stay again. But we do love the location on the east side of island. read more

I loved our stay at Waipouli Beach Resort. Never felt overly crowded. I didn't have to get up at dawn to secure a lounge chair by the pool. The gardens were well cared for. Parking wasn't an issue. Our ground level unit was convenient to walk to the restaurant, pool and beach. Beach was beautiful. Not a good spot for swimming in the ocean. Oasis by the Beach served tasty food and cold drinks. A great value compared to some of the other options we were considering. read more

We are currently staying here and have had mixed feelings about our experience so far, so I'll start with the negatives. We originally booked a double king garden view room but were given a unit that looked directly into the parking lot--with no greenery in sight--and it turned out to be a king and queen setup, not the double king we reserved. To make matters worse, neither of the tubs held water, and the room was noticeably dirty, including a pillow with visible bloodstains upon check-in. When we voiced our concerns, we were met with an incredibly unfriendly and indifferent front desk staff member who seemed to care very little. Fortunately, when we escalated the issue to the manager, they were accommodating and helped move us into a true garden view room that was much nicer overall. The location is great, and the pool is spectacular, which helps make up for some of the issues. Still, at over $500 a night, expectations are understandably high. Daily housekeeping is not included, and much of the upkeep during your stay is left to the guest, which feels a bit disappointing at this price point. Now that we are in the room we initially expected, we're much happier, and had we received this room upon check-in, our review would likely be very different. However, the lack of basic hospitality from the front desk staff is worth noting. A simple greeting--or even an "Aloha"--would go a long way, but instead we were met with a blank stare and a demeanor that felt more like an inconvenience than a welcome. When we inquired about the bed setup, we were initially told that the hotel didn't have any double king rooms, which was clearly not true since we were later moved into one. That inconsistency, combined with the poor front desk interaction, suggests a need for better staff training and guest service standards. read more

Recently we decided to check into this resort for a staycation and my birthday. Went in, in person to inquire and luckily they had a condo available on late notice. Mind you, this resort is actually condos, privately owned units, not your basic hotel. I agreed on a two bedroom, three bathroom unit. Paid up front with a credit card. Was shocked on the cost of fees though. Basically, resort fees, cleaning fees and DAMAGE PROTECTION fees. Alittle over 600 bucks, and for two nights! That blew me away. OK, so I agreed to it. So two nights and the fees were over 14 hundred bucks. We checked in. Easy. Amazing how easy it was with these friendly professional and welcoming front desk ladies. Wow. We found our unit and entered. I did my usual routine room inspections and photo taking. The master bedroom and bath passed with flying colors. No hairs, debris, bugs etc. I did the visual and sniff tests on King bed, pass! On the other bed in the second bedroom, I found a single two inch strand of black hair. Under the covers and pillows passed. Also passed was the other two bathrooms. In the kitchen, some of the knives in the block was dirty, un washed. We didn't use them. Yuck. One of the burners on the stove didn't work. It's OK, the other four worked. Kitchen was well stocked and clean, even inside the fridge and freezer. They included some coffee stuff we could use, and dish soap. Two of the tvs didn't work properly. It kept going blank after every ten minutes. I was watching my favorite show (Golden Bachelorette) and it kept going off. I couldn't even watch the whole rose ceremony!! I was stressed. Wifi worked great. We made sure to use all three toilets, both showers, both beds, etc. I used the tub for my bubble bath. We had a ocean/pool view so it was great. We had breakfast and lunch on the balcony table. Bring your own groceries. Use the kitchen. Didn't have to use the washer and dryer so I don't know the condition of those. Both beds were very comfortable. It was like our bed at home. We had a very enjoyable time. We did use their pool and did dinner at Oasis on the Beach restaurant. Someday I want to come back! read more

This isn't really a hotel, it's more of a timeshare/owners renting out to people. Kind of like an Airbnb in a way. There is a front desk but very limited hour, after you have to call security to check you in. The room is just like a hotel. We got the studio. It came with a mini fridge and a microwave. The room itself is very comfortable. The bed wasn't bad. We love the ceiling fan and AC. Worked very well together. The bathroom had very good shower pressure. Toilet flushed a little slow, but other than that it was fine. The pool is cool. There's a lazy River, slide and beach entry area with an adults only jacuzzi. They are a little strict here though as they don't let you have any pool floaties. We didn't know and got in trouble. There's an on-site restaurant, it's very good but pricey! Good to try though. Lots of residents living here. Parking is plentiful and they didn't charge us. The location is stellar. It's across from a strip mall with plenty of options. read more

This review is for the Spa by the Sea, which is within the Waipouli Beach Resort. The spa is nice but in the height of wearing masks on the Hawaiian islands, masks were optional in this spot??!! None of the staff were wearing masks and this is at the end of Feb 2022 early March 2022 when they were required indoors. I opted to keep mine on as I'm risk-averse like that. They had a nice relaxation room and robes and they offered sparkling water and chocolate prior to the service. The massage room was nice and quiet, despite the fact this spa is just off of the parking lot. Amanda was great and gave a nice massage. The massage was about $250 with a resort fee (kind of a scam) and the tip included for a 50-minute massage. I always expect to pay more while on vacation this was a bit much but I figured I would check it out. I asked about a coffee shop or anything on-premises, they had nothing and directed me to the Starbucks across the street. I walked around the pool area a bit which was nice, especially for kids but I think if you wanted to swim laps you would be out of luck. We had considered staying here but I'm glad we opted for another property after being on this one. As there aren't many services you would expect when calling your property a resort. It looks like condos on a rental program with a nice pool and spa. read more

My review is for unit G104. I had booked with Kauai calls. Candace and the team was easy to communicate with. When I had issues with the stove, Candace was quick to get back to me. The unit was beachfront. It had patio dining table and a bistro set in front of the other bedroom which made it wonderful to sit and drink coffee as I watched the sunrise. The unit had everything I needed to cook some meals. There were also boogie boards, beach chairs, cooler, sand toys and umbrella. It was a big plus to have those available instead of renting or buying them. The resort was beautiful. The pool was great. We bqqed one day and the grill was impeccably clean. There is ac and fan in the unit which was very relieving when coming back from the day out. read more

Good location for a resort, centrally located, across the street from Safeway and other restaurants. Easy to get to all sides of the island from here. If you want to save some money on food bring a few spices from home. Our particular room had the bare minimum but I heard a other rooms provided more amenities. Ours was located by the pool room h202. There are 2 grills for use poolside so you can bbq some meats and eat poolside or take back to your room. They provide pool towels that you can change out every day but if you loose it it's a $25 charge. read more

Nice resort when visiting Kauai. Central location with a great pool. Condos with full kitchens, laundry, and other amenities. Great for families since you can cook meals. Safeway is across the street, so it can't get more convenient than that. Plenty of shops and eateries in that same plaza. There are also lots of restaurants within walking distance of the resort. An on-site beachfront restaurant if you fancy. Plus, the spa rounds out the features of the location. It's resort living with budget consciousness. I've found the best way to book is via Kauai Calls. read more

This is a great place to stay, but even better if you have an ocean view. The grounds were beautiful, flowers, a tadpole pool, large pool, beach access. Pool towel service was easy to use and long hours, plenty of time to pick up or return- and you could exchange daily if you wanted, we just washed ours nightly as we had washer/dryer. It was really nice to have a washer and dryer in the unit as we didn't have to pack a lot of clothes this trip. There is no hotel shop but right across the street there is 24/7 Safeway, an ABC store, shave ice, pho, subway, Panda Express, Starbucks and several other stores. Amazing sunrise views from the beach. Water was amazingly warm (compared to CA water). Pool was rather cold and we didn't really swim in it, it was neat though- waterfalls, a little grotto under one fall, 2 water slides, sand bottom hot tub and a sand bottom shallow pool. Things that could make the stay better would be, a nightlight or soft light in the bathrooms, a mat upon entering the rooms that helps with the sand on tile- slippery, and the pool a bit warmer to enjoy. Great place to stay and glad to spend a week there. read more

Room was up to date and spacious, my family loved seeing the beautiful garden outside the window. Kitchen and separate rooms was a necessity while traveling with kids! The pool was amazing - especially for families, it is so big that it never felt crowded. The pool temp was slightly too cool for me, but my kids weren't bothered at all and it could be that we swam in the later afternoon when it was partly cloudy (October). I liked that there was a family hot tub, therefore appropriate temp for little ones to warm up. Great location, loved being next to Safeway/restaurants. Minor complaints: Pillows are really uncomfortable - pack your own! Bed is OK. Also, they have washing machines yet don't supply soap.... and they make you wash your own towels. No daily room service. read more

Just got back from Kauai and spent a week at the Waipouli Resort. We booked directly from Outrigger. What a great experience! This is our first time on Kauai but we have stayed at many Outriggers from Oahu and Maui in the past. We love the Honua Kai on Maui and have stayed there 4 times. First, let me say Lani from the front desk is great! She is super friendly and flexible. She helped me plan a little birthday welcome for my daughter who has a birthday while we were traveling. She pointed out all the local spots and tips on the island and how to best get around! Hotel: The Hotel is great for families. Love having a full kitchen! Pots, pans, utensils, basically anything in a kitchen are available. However, you need your own cooking oil and seasoning. Having a washer and dryer is great, clean clothes from the beach and fresh clothes for the flight home helps. Need your own detergent but they sell the pods at the front desk for .50 and Safeway is across the street. Pool is great but a little cold. Grounds are well kept. The beach is very choppy on this side of the islands. I would not recommend beach play for little ones without supervision. They have tide pools which are really cool. For beach play near the hotel, I recommend Lydgate Pools. Our room was great and very clean. It looked like it had been updated with paint and furnishment. We had an ocean view but there was some obstruction with the trees but seeing the pool and the ocean was a nice touch. We were on the D tower, 3rd floor. The carpet was clean, bed was comfortable. The sofa bedding was not, but it is a pullout. The overall hotel probably could use a facelift or modernization as you can see wear and tear in the lobby and hallways. The hotel is very quiet. Very nice touch. Never had to fight for a lounge chair even with all the families visiting, never felt crowded like you might feel on Maui. Pros: Good clean room. Everything you need from a condo is available. Location - right across the street from a Safeway, ABC Store, Starbucks (if needed, we always go for local coffee joints in Hawaii), Wailua Shave Ice, Panda, an arcade lol. You can walk there. There is a Kenji burger right next door, a brewery one block over. Restaurant onsite, but never went tried. Like anything else on the island, dinner is expensive. I heard great reviews but for the prices, I went to other options in Poipu - Red Salt, Beach House, Hukilau, etc. Staff - Security, Front desk, building maintenance were great and friendly. Our dishwasher was literally running the entire day we were gone because of some error and they came and fixed it immediately when we told them. The Towel Service team could use a friendlier attitude for sure. Cons: Limited overall service. Front desk is open from 9am to 7. No housekeeping at all. The entire time we stayed there we cleaned our own sheets and towels. You can ask for maintenance to get a vacuum or a broom if needed. They are super friendly. As mentioned earlier, the general appearance of the hotel's common areas needs some updating, broken fixtures in the elevator, scratches and dents in hallways, worn out lobby furniture, etc. You would expect more from a $500 plus night 4star rating. Aside from the minor cons, I would definitely stay here again with my family. For a whole week, we definitely like the extra space. We stayed at the Andaz and the Fairmont last year as a family and a whole week was a lot to be sharing in a standard room. Also, we loved walking across the street after returning home from dinner to Wailua Shave Ice. Location and being in the middle between north and south shore is great. read more

First time to Kauai and we are staying at the Waipouli Beach Resorts courtesy of my MIL due diligence in searching for a great spot. The condo itself is beyond spacious for 4 people although set up for many more with a pull out sofa bed. There are two huge king beds that we knocked out on nightly. There are two huge bathrooms and a 3rd bath as well. This place came with all the essentials not only for living but complete with beach chairs, cooler, and beach umbrella. Need to wash clothes? The washing machine/dryer combo worked really well! The grounds have a great pool with two water slides, 3 spas, a lazy riverish and gym. Late night spa visits were great to south the bones. Little different with sand bottoms. The Oasis Restaurant is onsite and has great views. Happy hour is happy along with good food on the dinner menu. Kapaa is a great location and has a lot of stores and restaurants. The 8 mile scenic bike path is just around the corner from this resort... I would not only recommend this resort but I would stay here again. read more

I rent parking stalls there for my small car rental business. We have had Several vehicles broken in to and parts taken from the dash. We've also had 25 cars siphoned for fuel, 8 fuel lines cut and several doors left open. We mentioned this to the general manager and his response was " we can't have security there 24 hours". He also stated that it's a park at your own risk policy. He stated several guest also have had their vehicles siphoned. One of their security guards alerted us to catching someone doing it to one of our rental vehicles. When we mentioned it to the GM and asked him how he handled the situation, he said he had not heard of the security guard catching anyone in the act. The GM was rude, not supportive, and told us that they were choosing our vehicles because they were ugly and looked abandoned. With that statement he essentially blamed us for the break ins and siphoning of fuels. that being said, I personally know that nothing is being done about the crimes being committed on the property. The GM clearly stated, that he can't have security there 24 hours a day And that he was not responsible for the break-ins. Where there is smoke there's fire, and since there is such a large amount of crimes being committed in the parking lot of the property, I can only assume that crimes run rampant at the resort. I personally know that nothing is being done about the crimes that were committed against us. Nor are they supportive of our situation and the crimes that were committed. I will use the GM's statement about parking at their lot and I'll say, "Stay at Your Own Risk" read more

Waipouli doesn't care. we liked the resort until we went to try and bbq on the provided ones in the pool area and the bbq exploded on my mom and grandma. the access panel flew off and burned my moms leg along with the flames burning them and my foot along with my grandma as well. the resort security called ems and we were treated but after the security was rude and unsympathetic. they acted like it wasn't a big deal and said that it was on us since we refused medical care which is not true since they were treated on scene. the lack of care from staff was just so unprofessional and we have been trying to talk to someone and just keep getting the run around. We were contacted by Candace the owner and she doesn't seem to think it's that big of a deal either. no one has even tried to make sure we are okay. we have excursions planned and tons of money into this trip which now we won't be able to enjoy tahnks to Waipouli and the carelessness of their staff. would not recommend going. read more

This was is the worst resort ever!!! For all you people looking into coming to Kauai stay away from this place!! The staff is very rude not friendly at all...!! The pool attend is a POS. The staff at the front desk are very hopeless. Also they have a surprise cleaning fee of 350$. Which is not mention while booking a room. No servers serving food, restaurant is close and when they are open foods is over price a taste like shit..

We stayed here for a week in January renting a 2-bedroom condo in one of the 8 buildings in this large complex. Many of the units are rented privately, like ours, by owner, and others seem to be rented by a management firm. Our unit was on the second floor in build F (each building had 4 floors) making it easy to just use the stairs to come and go. The unit was well equipped with a king bed in one room, a queen in the other and a pull-out sofa sleeper. It was perfect for our family of 4. The condo complex seemed new and it was very well tended. The very large pool had 2 small water slides, several large swimming areas, a small shallow pool with a pebbly bottom for little kids and 2 large hot tubs - one reserved just for adults. Towels were provided as part of the rental and you could exchange them each day of the stay down by the pool. Their was a small beach just behind the pool and we even saw an endagered Monk Seal one day waddle up for a rest on the beach. The staff is super friendly and constantly cleaning to keep everything nice. There is even a concierge in the lobby if you want any help making plans for dinner or excursions. All in all we had a very nice stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. Being on the east side of the island was nice too as it meant we were "half-way" to the sights on the north or sights on the south and there were 2 large grocery stores literally acorss the street making it easy to have a few meals in the condo. read more

This resort is amazing: conveniently located (walk to restaurants like Coconut's across the street, grocery, etc). Central to the sights and hikes we wanted to do. The beach is nice, the pool is beautiful (waterslides are perfect), three hot tubs with excellent jets and a family-friendly one with slightly lower temp for kids. Our unit, D-102, was quiet, close enough to lobby so that we didn't have a trek to the car with our gear, and overlooked the pool (but quiet!). Our kitchen had every convenience: huge subzero fridge, oversized oven, blender, toaster, toaster oven, dishes, pots/pans/bakeware/trivets/potholders/good knives. Nice, deep sink. Coffee maker. Decor was beautiful. Beds are comfortable. Two and a half baths!!! Nobody in our family of five had to wait! A closet with a cooler, beach toys, umbrella, and woven beach mats. This was a little more $ than we planned to spend, but the added comfort and amenities were worth it. Thank you for a beautiful place to stay! read more

This is long overdue. We stayed here last year in late October to early November. The hotel itself is beautiful and the pool is awesome. There a lazy river and also a shallow side. There were two water slides. I myself had fun on these. There is also a cave with a waterfall. The food wasn't spectacular. The spa was perfect to sit and relax in. The bottom is filled with rocks the same as the shallow side of the pool. There are grills in this area too. The restaurant onsite was ok. The bar was cool. My fav drink while here was a lava flow(?)delicious!! We stayed on the top floor and had an ocean view. Ugh! So beautiful. Our room was huge! Plenty of space and a big patio. There is a washer and dryer but you'll have to bring your own soaps. The one down side is about the cleaning. You can pay to have them come clean every day or just pay for the end of your visit. At one point we asked if we could at least have someone come vacuum but they wouldn't. Since some these units are owned privately it's up to the owner what they keep here for you. The kitchen had plenty of cups and plates. Be prepared to bring your own essentials. Like toilet paper. We ran out and unbeknownst to us they don't provide this. The front desk kindly gave me a couple of extra rolls. Also you have to rewash any towels you have because they don't provide you with more. There are a few different fees they add but I think we'd stay here again. read more

Avoid at all cost. This is the worst "hotel" experience I've ever had. Our washing machine is full of deadly black mold. The elevator safety bar flung off and I went flying down hard. The people at the pool told us we have to wash our own towels. And the front desk claims innocence because "the hoa runs everything." Well the hoa doesn't run the black mold washing machine and our clothes are ruined. I can't move as my back is out from the elevator fall. This hotel is a 2 star piece of crap. Never have I ever been more disappointed and digusted by a property. The reviews that claim this is a 4.5 star are clearly just made up. There's no restaurant for the pool. There's nobody to help with luggage. The beds are hard as rocks and the people working here are rude. I'm writing this to save others from booking this piece of crap full of mold, no help given, elevator back ruining piece of crap hotel. read more

Yoga on the beach for the second time during my visit- great Instructor who trained in Utah and India. She crafted the class to suit the students needs- one person had NEVER done yoga and she made sure they felt comfortable and safe. The view can't be beat and anyone can show up- MW F S and Sun at 8:30 am- a great deal at $20! read more

Waipouli Beach Resort - Yoga spot - Vacation Rentals Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

We loved our 8 nights at the Waipouli Beach Resort. The staff in the reception office only works from 9:00-7:00 but they were very friendly and gladly gave us any supplies that we needed except laundry detergent was 2 for a dollar. No maid service. Beautiful well manicured grounds. Everything was very clean. Our 2 bedroom 3 bath condo was exactly as pictured. Comfortable king and queen bed. Strong WiFi. Lots of hot water. Amazing high end appliances (Wolf, Sub Zero, Whirlpool duet washer and dryer). Room was well insulated and quiet. Loved the water slides. Strict Towel exchange. TV's we're good. Close to shopping across the street and many local restaurants nearby. Midway to Hanalei and Poipu. No help after 7:00 at night. Highly recommended. Would love to stay here again. A/C was loud but worked great. read more

I absolutely hate leaving a negative review for a hotel, especially one that comes so highly reviewed in the first place. In fact, I was going to forgo reviewing and just let it pass. But a month later, I am still upset by my stay at Waipouli Beach Resort and feel compelled to share. I stayed at this resort with my husband and two kids in January for 3 nights. The hotel is very conveniently located on the east coast of the island, very close (20 min max) to the airport and in general, we found the location to be quite excellent. There is a large plaza right across the street with supermarket and other stores and restaurant which was quite convenient as well. There was a Starbucks across the street which came in pretty handy as there is no coffee at the hotel. Unfortunately, this is where my positive comments regarding the hotel end. Let's start from the name of the hotel. They call themselves a resort and charge a mandatory resort fee ($25/day), however it is not really a resort. In fact it's just condos for rent, because there really is no front desk, or valet, or lifeguard, or anyone of service. You are on your own the minute you enter the hotel and get a key. The key is a long combination of numbers, and an even longer one to get into the pool area. A combination that one must either learn (unreasonable to learn 10+ numbers) or carry on oneself at all times. We booked a two bedroom, two bathroom suite and I will say that the room was enormous. In fact it actually contained 2.5 bathrooms, which was great. The kitchen was also large and pretty updated, with plenty of equipment. The rest of this condo was however extremely outdated. The furniture was so old and dusty, that I didn't really want to sit on it. The beds were so uncomfortable; our mattress old and lumpy. Because we were originally a party of 5, my kids were to sleep on the fold out couch. I happy that they didn't have to as the couch was pretty disgusting. I did not see any extra linens to make up the couch, perhaps that was needed to be requested. The linens on the beds have seen better days. The pillows extremely large, lumpy and uncomfortable. The towels thin and scratchy. The floors were dirty, I had some shoes that rolled under the bed only to come out covered with dust. Overall this was extremely disappointing as the hotel was not exactly cheap. In addition to that, charged a ridiculous cleaning fee, which I believe was $275. With that said, the condo is not actually cleaned during your stay. We used the washer, which was a very nice front-loader to wash the towels once. The washer smelled of mold. Detergent had to be purchased at the front, just like everything else including coffee! We did have a spacious balcony, which was left unused as the view was that of a parking lot, road and shopping plaza across the street. Most disappointing was the shower situation. The bathrooms were actually large and very nice. We made a mistake of running a hot tub on one of the days, this left us with no hot water to shower with. The next day, without any overuse of hot water, I realized that the shower still ran out of hot water by the time it was my turn. The property was large and would have been beautiful has it been updated. The pool area was extremely old with a rusted fence surrounding it. They did have a water slide which my kids enjoyed quite a bit. The towels were given out at the pool and signed under the room, and this was sort of a hassle. There was no beach to speak of. Not sure why the property is called "Beach Resort". There was a beachfront but not equipped for sun-bathing or swimming. Overall, we were extremely disappointed with our stay and would never recommend the property for the price that they charge. I think my photos would speak for themselves. read more

The Waipouli Beach Resort is a well maintained, high quality condo in Kauai. It's centrally located, and the pool area is awesome. We had a family of 6 stay in a 2 bedroom condo, and they also gave us an air mattress so that my kids didn't have to share a bed. The only gripe I have is regarding the outrageous fees they charge. Between the resort and cleaning fee we spent $660 (in addition to the already paid amount) for our 1 week stay. read more

Beautiful resort with great location. We've stayed here numerous times in the last 8 years both with our children and without. Here's my top tip--rent directly through the resort rather than through vrbo. Either way you still have to pay the resort fee and cleaning fee, but the units rented through the resort have standardized lovely decor (see pictures--every unit we stayed in rented by the resort liked just like this) and they insure it is kept up to date unlike some of the ones rented by individuals. Also, the front desk can help you with your needs if you rent through the waipouli. If you rent with vrbo or any other individual and you have a problem, the front desk cannot help you at all. They don't even have access to your room or the ability to do any maintenance or move you to another room if there is a problem. Like, legally they cannot do a single thing in those rooms. However, we have found them to be very attentive to the very few minor needs we have had when staying at a room that they manage. read more

Waipouli Beach Resort - Main been, kitchen and our view - Vacation Rentals Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Be sure to read the fine print for additional resort fees when booking through Costco as you will end up paying much more than the package price. It's borderline false advertisement. Cons: Issues with the resort itself included poor room maintenance, room reeked of cigarette smoke, dryer did not work properly, and bedding/pillows smelt of body odor. The outdoor BBQs temperature gauges were all broken. The Access code for the pool is too long and unnecessary. You are given a very limited number of towels to use and will end up using pool towels as room towels, which are also limited per room/day. The Location is close to a busy area in town and sirens are frequently heard. Zero condiments or cooking spices/oils, only dishes. Beach is very small and lacks functional lounge chairs and not great for swimming. No sunset. Pros: Oasis restaurant has awesome food and the best Mai Tais you'll have on the island. Pool is also great for kids and offers 2 adult only hot tubs. Plenty of comfortable lounge chairs as well. Resort is centrally located on the island and within walking distance to grocery stores/shopping centers. read more

Class act! Great suite (D-402), nice beach, outrageous pool and right in the area where "the action" is. The accommodations are above average and we couldn't ask for a better time. Great place for families! We booked through Vrbo/Hawaii Life. read more

Fabulous place. One of the nicest condo resorts we've seen. Modern, air conditioned, well furnished apartments. Lagoon pool with a kids and baby area. Two jacuzzis. We shopped and found the best rental company was Kauai Calls - Candice@CertifiedHawaii.com Very convenient grocery and restaurants across the street. Excellent Farmer's market nearby on Wednesdays. Local items you don't see on CONUS. Price varies by view. G206 was full oceanfront. We'll be back. read more
