I booked this hotel shortly before our trip for New Year time. It’s quite pricey at this time. But it’s one of the best hotels in Poipu area. They do have the amazing pools which my boys love it. Our studio room is as big as we expected but it does has a queen sofa bed and mini kitchen and laundry. The restaurant at the pool has good food with reasonable price. Please shop at the small grocery store in the lobby. The grocery stores miles away are not cheaper than in the hotel. Highly recommend...

The ocean views here can't be more beautiful! Our two bedroom unit had a partial ocean view and we could see the ocean and Shipwreck Beach near the Hyatt Hotel. THe resort was perfect for our family vacation. The two bedroom unit was roomy for our three children. They loved the pool and koi pond. It's in Poipu which is the sunny side of Kauai. We would definitely stay here again especially if we find a similar great deAl! Great sea turtle watching just a few feet from our unit.

We were able to confirm that staying on the east of the island in Kapa’a was the most convenient. Although it does rain here and there it does clear away. You are very close to the airport and walking distance to great food options. If it matters a 2 minute drive to starbucks ;) We are coming back for sure...
