What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Pili Mai at Poipu earns strong praise for its relaxed, residential vibe in a beautifully landscaped golf‑course setting. Guests love the convenient south‑shore location—usually a 10–20 minute walk or quick 3–5 minute drive to Poipu/Kiahuna/Shipwreck beaches, coffee, dining, and shops—making it an easy home base for exploring Kauai. The on‑site pool, hot tub, small gym, and communal grills are well liked, and many reviewers highlighted quiet evenings and sunrise/sunset coffees on the lanai with mountain, golf course, and occasional distant ocean views.

Condos are consistently described as spacious, modern, and well equipped—especially for families and groups. The popular 3 bed/3 bath (and some 4BR) layouts provide excellent privacy, beds are generally comfortable, and most units include central A/C with ceiling fans, in‑unit washer/dryer, and generously stocked kitchens. Many homes come with thoughtful extras like beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, coolers, pack ’n plays, and high chairs; welcome baskets and responsive hosts were frequently mentioned. Overall cleanliness and upkeep are rated highly across the community.

Common caveats to know: several reviewers noted A/C policies that cap the minimum temp (often around 72–74°F) and occasional uneven cooling in multi‑level units; portable units are sometimes provided when needed. Floors between levels can transmit footsteps, so downstairs units may hear upstairs neighbors. Garages and assigned parking can be tight for large SUVs, and some upper condos require stairs. As with most tropical locales, occasional bugs pop up, and a handful of guests cited periodic cleaning or maintenance hiccups, though managers typically respond quickly. Pool water can feel cool, and basic pantry items/condiments aren’t guaranteed. If sensitive to noise, consider an upper unit; if mobility or parking is a concern, opt for ground‑floor and a smaller vehicle. Despite these notes, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.

The house was perfect for our family! Plenty of room, great kitchen, all the supplies we needed for the beach, and peace and quiet. So great!

We had a fantastic time celebrating my dad’s birthday in Kauai. Everyone slept well in the comfortable beds. We had everything we needed to make several meals together in the kitchen.

A fantastic base for our Kauai adventures. Everything we needed was there. Lots of space and a garage with goodies, too! Beach chairs and umbrella saved the day! Would absolutely stay here again.

We had an amazing time in Kauai and this property made our lives a lot easier having a 17 month old. The rooms were clean and they provided a high chair and pack n play for our daughter so we didn’t have to travel with them. The washer/dryer was great to be able to wash all our clothes. It’s a very spacious condo and they provide all the towels and linens. The pool was great and even though the water was a little cold, you adjust quickly in the warm weather. The hot tub and kids pool were also nice. The beach gear in the garage was convenient, although some items seemed to be broken. My only complaint would be that the bath tubs could have been cleaner. Overall I would highly recommend this condo for 1-2 families staying in Kauai.

We really enjoyed the large open kitchen and the spacious setup of the entire home. Once we figured out the correct way to contact the host, it was quick communication. I did have trouble locating the unit, that part could be clearer. Overall it was a great experience.

The house was super comfortable and had everything we needed! Lots of space for my kids to run around. Great location, easy to get to everything in Poipu. I also really appreciated that the garage had beach stuff (umbrellas, boogie boards, chairs, etc.) and snorkeling equipment!

The water is controlled that makes in not good. People are using the toilet in the middle of the night and specially if you go #2.

We had 5 adults and two boys and the boys were thrilled to have their own bed in the upstairs room with twin beds. Their parents were in the other upstairs room and it worked great for their family. We had plenty of room downstairs for our morning and evening family activities. The house had everything we needed.

Fit us perfect in all ways. Enough bathrooms, gym, pool (large nice but with a 9min walk or 4 min drive to the best beaches we didn’t use but little kids would love) , room to hang out in the large living, dining, kitchen area. Kitchen stocked, central AC, patio, washer and dryer w/soap, all accessories for beach were available. umberella had one broken wire but still worked great. One boogie board was folding but still worked again they are nice extras so not something to complain about at all.Everything was stocked dish soap, towels shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper towels, trash babes, toilet paper. Clean except the master shower didn’t seem to be very clean. Everything else was clean. Didn't need however also had vacuum and broom and baby high chair, play pen in master closet.

Loved everything about our stay. The unit was spacious, comfy, great kitchen, lived the back patio and the well stocked garage full of beach equipment. Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this property and owners to other travelers. The location was perfectly between Poipu Beach and Old Koloa Town and the sound center nearby had great shops and eateries.

Cameron C.
October 2025

We would absolutely stay here again! We loved the layout of the place. To basically have two master bedrooms as well as two rooms for kids upstairs was perfect. This place offers plenty of space to feel very relaxed and at home. The pool was incredible for my kids. It was a great size, temperature, fun to hang around by, and has a great hot tub. Assuming everything went well through our checkout experience, we knew we’d be giving it 5 stars.I wouldn’t call it beach front though. It is about a 1 mile walk to the beach. We did that walk a couple times and didn’t mind it, but it just isn’t beach front. That didn’t bother us though.

We loved our stay! The views were amazing, we enjoyed being right on the golf course and the stars at night were awesome. We had everything we needed for a great stay! The host was super about communicating with us when we had a question. Highly recommend staying here!

The air conditioning does not go below 73 degrees, so the space was quite warm. When two showers were running at the same time, the water would shut off, which was very inconvenient. Great location near the shopping center and beach.
Sarinah L.
October 2025

This rental property is nice and clean. Great for a family with several bathrooms and spacious bedrooms. We had some issues getting into the property, and the water shut off several times due to a faulty floor sensor. However, the property manager was very responsive, so it wasn’t a huge issue.
Carly C.

We loved the place it worked perfect for the people staying. Enjoyed the view of the ocean and outdoor space. Would stay here again.
Tammy B.
October 2025

Great hosts. Very accomodating, responsive, and helpful. Nice resort in good location. My husband and I felt very safe there. The home is very clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is very well stocked. It also has a water filter pitcher in the fridge and ice in the freezer. Powerful A/C. Super soft sheets and comfy beds. Lots of hangers, but no pant hangers. Lots of beach gear including umbrellas, chairs, towels, bags, coolers, snorkeling gear, boogie boards and more. The only downside was that both sliding doors with patio areas are adjacent to a sidewalk and road with light traffic. Not ideal for enjoying patio time or letting natural sunlight inside the unit (due to lack of privacy) if that's your thing. Overall, we enjoyed staying in this home.
Jennifer M.
October 2025

All amenities were included and everything you needed to cook a gourmet meal. Quiet, conveniently located, spacious, rich amenities… home away from home!!! Plenty of fans and lighting, fans added to the comfort of the A/C. Towels, and wash clothes were soft. Beds and beddings were comfortable and appropriate for an island stay.

Kitchen was perfect for eating in. Layout was great for the family. Patio furniture was nice and having use of things to take to the beach was a plus.
Tia T.
October 2025

The condo was beautiful, well stocked, and close to Poipu Beach! The golf course was beautiful and quiet. The pool was lovely and had plenty of chairs and umbrellas. The only problem we were surprised that the power grid was off from 10pm 4am our last night of vacation. I have a biPap machine that uses electricity. When I called about my dilemma the property manager was sympathetic and told me to buy a 600 battery at Costco and return it the next day. I didn’t feel good about that and so had to sit up most of the night checking on my oxygen.

The Carpet needs cleaning, and fix the screen front door, also needs takin care the wasps are outside by the windows.
Gilberto S.
October 2025

The house was lovely and mostly perfect. My only complaint would be the master bed was so very uncomfortable. It sunk us like a rock and we are small people. Pillows were also not great due to being so flat within 2 min. Replacing that mattress would make it perfect. We had quite a few dirty dishes that we grabbed out of cabinets and the trash can is broken. Other than those things we moved it so much. Thank you!
