8.4/10 Very Good! (1,248 reviews)
Banyan Harbour Resort was a good fit for our family of five. The condo isn’t particularly spacious, modern or updated, but it has a charming, authentic feel. It feels more like staying in someone’s home than in a hotel, which makes it cozy and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped and we had everything we needed for our stay.
We spent most of our days exploring the island rather than at the resort, so for us it offered very good value for the price. Our three teenagers especially enjoyed the elevated pool, which has a beautiful view of the harbour. There are also tennis and pickleball courts and a BBQ area.
The location worked very well for exploring the south side of Kauai. Poipu is only about a 20–25 minute drive away, which we found very reasonable. Staying here was much more affordable than staying directly in Poipu while still giving us easy access to the area.
Overall, a comfortable, practical and good-value option for a family looking for a home base to explore Kauai.
