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.

Waipouli Beach Resort delivers a true condo-resort experience on Kauai’s east shore. Guests love the lush, impeccably maintained grounds and a standout pool complex with waterslides, a winding “lazy river”-style layout, waterfalls, and sand-bottom hot tubs. It’s very family-friendly yet generally peaceful in the evenings, and the beachfront setting is perfect for sunrise walks and the chance to spot monk seals. The Kapa‘a location is a major highlight: you’re roughly mid-island for easy day trips north or south, and there’s a Safeway, ABC Store, coffee, shave ice, and restaurants right across the street. Many also enjoy the on-site Oasis on the Beach restaurant and the spa, though Oasis often operates mainly for dinner.

Condos are consistently described as spacious, clean, and well equipped, with full kitchens (often high-end appliances), in-unit washer/dryers, strong A/C, and multiple bathrooms—many layouts function like two master suites separated by a living/kitchen area, making them ideal for families or two couples. Thoughtful extras like beach chairs, coolers, and board games are common. Check-in is typically seamless and hosts/property managers earn high marks for responsiveness and clear communication. Parking is easy, elevators are available (sometimes in adjacent buildings), and many units offer pool or ocean views; some oceanfront suites have especially memorable sunrise vistas.

A few practical notes: the beach here is beautiful but often rocky with stronger surf, so most guests swim at nearby spots like Lydgate and use the resort beach for lounging and sunrise strolls. The pool can feel cool to some and may be busy at peak times, and the “lazy river” doesn’t have a current. Service amenities are more condo-style than full-service resort (limited daytime food/drink by the pool). Experiences can vary by unit: a handful mention spotty Wi‑Fi or cell signal, occasional maintenance quirks (sticky sliders, appliance hiccups, grills), or road noise/parking-lot outlooks in buildings near the street—so choose a view and building that match your priorities. Island roosters are early risers. Overall, travelers rave about the location, family-friendly pool complex, and roomy, well-appointed condos as an excellent base to explore Kauai.

We look forward to our next visit! Kauai is our favorite island and now this is our new favorite place to stay! Clean, comfortable, centrally located, curated with all we needed. We also appreciated that it’s a rental with a purpose. Giving back. The views from this condo produce nonstop awe.

Great condo in a good central location on the island. Ocean and pool views, with great balcony. Only negative would be that it is pretty dark inside condo even with the lights on. Kitchen was nicely equipped, didn't miss anything. Awesome pool area and restaurant/bar. Would stay here again.

Loved the location. It was a short drive to pretty much anywhere we wanted to go. The beasch next to the resort was also cery clean and not a lot of people, giving us more privacy

H305 was as described. Very clean, comfortable bed and nice view. As noted in instructions, there are a few supplies to get you started, but a market across street for anything you need. There were plenty of pots, pans, and utensils etc. and we cooked in a few times during our week stay. I do wish balcony was just a little bigger, but we made the most of it. After driving and walking around other resorts, this was hands down the best. Our highlight more than anything we did was getting up early each morning and watching the sunrise, absolutely fantastic and worth the stay on the east shore. The best restaurant in the area it turned out was the one at this resort. We had wonderful meals there, excellent service and oceanfront seating. Highly recommend this location if staying on Kauai. The only small issue was internet was down when we got there, but followed instructions to call the service number and they fixed it right away.

G306 is perfectly located to enjoy a quiet ocean view, away from any potential noise from the pool area. Yet only a short walk to the pool. The unit and the grounds were well maintained. Kitchen appliances are updated. Bathrooms are very nice. Large living area to enjoy with family. Overall the location of this resort is perfect here on the east side of Kauai, making trips to either North or South shores a short drive. HIGHLY recommend G306!

Very clean and beautiful condo. Love sitting on balcony in the mornings. Only complaint is internet is very spotty and phone calls dropped a lot, making it very difficult to make phone calls home .You Have to stand by a window, better in mornings.I know this is not condo owners fault. It was just very frustrating at times. I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone, the property is absolutely beautiful. The beach has lots of chairs to sit and relax. Will come again. Thank you, Margaret Byrnes

This resort property is ideally located near Kapa’a, convenient to a grocery store, numerous dining options and beaches. The grounds are well kept, the pool is lovely with its waterslides and lagoon sand-bottom hot tubs. The beach is pretty with chaise lounges and Adirondack chairs for use. However, it is a rocky beach and waves/current are strong and not ideal for swimming or snorkeling. The Ocean restaurant on property is very nice, beautiful views, but prices are high for food and drink! Our room had a nicely appointed kitchen and bedrooms and bath were spacious. It is rather dark inside the unit. The patios -one with a small dining set and the other with two chairs- are technically “garden view” as listed in description, but not private at all as they face out to parking lot and balconies of another close building. Can’t open drapes for natural light if you don’t wish to be seen inside! As listed, the unit is close to beach and pool, but if a view matters, this unit is not for you! The living area isn’t great for gathering and watching TV. The couch is old and is big enough for two people. There is only one other side chair facing TV and it’s not comfy. Our group of four, one person was left out of space to watch a movie. If you don’t plan on spending evenings like this then I guess it doesn’t matter. There was a large heavy wood 4-seating table in the space that is too big and eats into the overall living space. Laundry access was helpful and washer worked well.

Beautiful condo that made us feel so at home. We really appreciated the opportunity to cook and do laundry in the middle of our trip to Hawaii and the pool/landscaping were absolutely stunning! The pool/waterslides were one of my favorite parts of the trip. Also, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the condo was so spacious. Easy to drive to places we wanted to visit and hosts were very communicative. Thanks for a great stay!

Excellent property and very conveniently located. the property was very well maintained and had everything that we needed.2 small things. One of the TV's didn't work and one of the faucet handles in the bathroom didn't work. not a big deal, just an FYI. We would definitely return to this property to enjoy the beautiful sunrises!

Amazing stay at the Waipouli! As a family of 6 I was definitely worried about having enough space. Not a problem here! Multiple bathrooms and the kitchen was big, and had everything we needed. Walking distance to groceries and shops was such a plus. I chose Kapaa since it would be so central and the location made it easy to get to all the different parts of the island. We loved being on the beach but also having the hot tubs, pool, and slides. Overall so glad we picked this condo!

Very comfortable home with an easy walk to the beach. The home is right in front of the pool sp rssy access. There was plenty of beach gear to make for a relaxing time at the ocean. Safeway is within walking distance along with several restaurants.
Jacquie F.
August 2025

The location is close to the beach, which is fantastic. It’s the nicest department in the complex. In the evening, you see endangered monk seals rest on the beach. We saw a tremendous moonrise over the water. Safeway is across the road for supplies, but ideally, you need a car.I would recommend to the owner some door stoppers that work on the hinges, not the floor, as they are definitely toe stubbers.
Simon C.
August 2025

Beautiful accommodations, found them to be just as described as well as true to photos. Excellent location if you are wanting to explore the entire island. Shopping center right across the street has all your needs. The room had plenty of space for a family of 4, pool was amazing, and beach access doesn’t get much easier. On site day spa was excellent, we did not use the restaurant, only because we were never around for dinner. Would definitely stay here again

Wonderful view, clean unit, and quiet. It was great having a full sized washer and dryer, as most places have mini ones. Nice pool and restaurant with a great view. The furniture could be updated. Master shower was very small, even though bathroom itself was huge. Overall it was a great stay, thank you!

This is a spectacularly beautiful property. The pool is stunning and so much fun. Our 7 year old grandson was there pretty much all day. He loved the family spa and we enjoyed an exciting but short rain shower one afternoon. The raindrops made amazing patterns as they hit the water. My husband and I walked the pool everyday, enjoying the beautiful gardens and waterfalls. Our favorite had a secret cave you could enter through the waterfall! Lori, our host, was super responsive. We really appreciated her rapid and complete responses. The beach was beautiful and we got to see several monk seals as they sunned themselves, or just digested a big meal. The only thing that could have been better is if the beach were snorkle-able. It was stunning, but not safe enough for us to get into the water. But, again, my grandson made a game of running from "sneaker waves," so we still made good use of the beach. I have to say that being right across the street from a safeway, some fast and slower food places, and a terrific shave ice establishment made our lives so much easier. We can't wait to come back.

We loved the full kitchen and how well stocked it was. Every morning we enjoyed the outdoor table and chairs on the bedroom's balcony. From the balcony there is a peek-a-boo view of the amazing hills on one side and a bit of the ocean on the other!The beach-going items were also a great plus!!! They had (2) low back Tommy Bahama chairs and a couple taller chairs and a cooler that we used everyday! We added (2) boogie boards before we left for the next group to enjoy.The location was perfect! Getting to the North and South side for different activities were quick drives. The Ross, Starbucks and Safeway across the street were convenient.We would stay there again!!!

Description as is, excellent views and excellent location. Kuai is not a large island and this location is 35 mins from hanalei 35 mins to far end of poipu and with groceries and eateries nearby. Communication clear and the resort itself is lovelDon’t like the recent trend of check out at 10am but oh well

We stayed for about a week in B310 and really enjoyed our visit. The unit is large and beautifully furnished, decorated and maintained. The kitchen is fully stocked with all everything you would need for a Thanksgiving dinner, lol. Every aspect is very upscale. The grounds are lovely and our two 9-year-olds and 11-year-old had lots of fun in the pool and on the waterslides. I used the bbq for dinner one night and recommend you finish before it gets dark. We will return in the future for sure.
David R.
August 2025

Rental was clean and well stocked. We took advantage of the beach gear (chairs, cooler, etc), which made the trip much easier. The kids wore themselves out at the pool on more than one occasion and we all enjoyed wandering the resort as well as the local neighborhood.
David V.
August 2025

Excellent location across from grocery and within walking to a number of food options. Easy commute to either north or south/west sides. The grounds are beautiful. Family-friendly pool and hot tubs with sand bottoms. No check-in desk. Unit was well stocked and included beach accessories including beach chairs, umbrella, snorkels and cooler. Communication with manager was delayed and frustrating our last two days as we were trying for a late stay and they weren't able to get ahold of cleaning crew. This made for an awkward last two days awaiting response from manager who was responsive early in the trip. This unit's location was great for us being so close to both the parking lot and pool.

August 2025

Very nice facility. Grounds and pool were beautifully manicured and clean. The evening meal was excellent from the Oasis restaurant. Our room was very clean, nicety appointed and comfortable. The only issue we had with the room was that it seemed to have a mold issue and the floor over by the window was rippled and uneven. It seems to have had water damage at some point. We also didn’t realize that a “Garden view” meant you had a view of the parking lot. One suggestion would be that you add a small bench and rug inside the front door to make it easier to remove sandals. We were always tracking that gravel/sand in across the kitchen floor. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would come again, only this time I would make sure we were looking out at the ocean, or at least the pool area and would also locate on an upper floor to hopefully avoid the musty air.

Fabulous location and wonderful property. Master bath set up is a bit odd with shower in the bath attached to entry and master bath. Otherwise great set up. Many properties with much bigger grassy spaces that face the ocean, but likely much more expensive. Pool is fabulous with waterslides (open 10-6) and open 7am-10pm. Great sunrises from the beach and twice a monk seal hung out for hours. Only 2 very minor issues that were addressed. Brita in the fridge as well as a 3L pitcher so plenty of filter watered. Fairly good amount of utensils, plates, etc. Great for families, but probably not where I'd pick as couples although 2 of 3 hittubs adult only, 16 and up

Accommodations are great for families traveling with small children and for adults traveling with another couple. The floor plan works well with two separate bedrooms separated by a shared living room and kitchen. The third toilet is a nice luxury.One should note that although the name has the word resort in it, I would not categorize this location as a full on resort as the food choices on property are extremely limited. The onsite restaurant opens at 4pm and there is no room service. That being said there are plenty of food options within walking and driving distance.The kids enjoyed the pool and pool slide. It was the right size to fell comfortable with kids.The owner/management of our accommodations was very responsive and accommodating.Side note, if you forget something needed for your toddler or baby there are plenty of rental options available that do drop off and are extremely affordable. We specifically used Shayleen Moore for a few items.
