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.

What a beautiful stay in this lovely condo with great amenities. The place was spotless! We had a great time swimming in the pool, walking the nearby path and the beach, and accessing all the different day trips we could pack in. :) Plus, the sunrise. Unbeatable.

Our stay was great. The pool was fantastic and the beach was very lovely. The grounds crew were very polite and helpful. The resort is in a convenience area, close to shops/food. The on site restaurant Oasis was convenient, however, the servers were very rude. Very unfortunate. Other than that, we enjoyed every minute.

This was an amazing place. Very clean, perfect location and a beautiful view. Check-in was super easy and the host was very helpful. There was one minor thing we didn’t like and that was the lack of lighting in the living room. It made it hard to see at night when sitting at the dining table. And one complaint that was a little more troubling, was that someone opened our door to come into the room around 11 AM. We were all sitting or standing around in the kitchen or living room area and saw him come in. He asked if we were checking out on that day and we said no, we check out tomorrow. It was concerning because he entered the room with no knocking it announcement, and then the fact that he didn’t know what day we were checking out. Other than those two things, the room was wonderful!!!

We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was perfect size for our group and the view was beautiful. We felt safe on the property and loved the location. Only complaint and it’s not even really a complaint. We wanted to iron some clothes for a nice dinner, however, the ironing board in the unit was broken and not usable. Overall a fabulous stay and we look forward to returning in the near future.

Central location to visit sites all over the island. Well stocked. Coconut Marketplace right next door for food and groceries. The fronting beach is about a quarter mile walk. The two ac's were good for keeping the condo nice and cool. One caveat, if you are going at a time of the year when you do not need the ac, both lanais face the main highway, which is only about 50 yards away. However, with the ac running, I had no issues with road noise.

My sister and I decided to take a last minute sister's retreat to Kauai and I found the Waipouli on VRBO. I can't say enough about this unit. We had welcome treats on the counter waiting for us when we arrived. There are clear instructions on how to use the appliances. There is a magnifying mirror mounted in the bathroom. An electric kettle which i love for making my preferred instant coffee, but there is also a coffee maker and an espresso machine. Folding chairs we took to the beach. The unit is decorated beautifully and well maintained as are the grounds/pool. Bed was sooo comfortable! Just absolutely loved this place, I cannot say enough about it.

Wonderful condo in an ideal location. The wrap around lanai provided hours of calm, peaceful, ocean viewing. More exciting activities were just minutes away, e.g., snorkeling, riding waves, and, even a zip line adventure. We thank the owner for making their place available. It set the standard for future stays in Kauai.

September 2025

Not often does a vacation rental home exceed expectations, but this one did. It was well cared for, clean, and had everything we needed. The complex and resort is very nice, and we loved having all of the food and grocery shopping options just right across the street.We will definitely stay here again.

The location overall was beautiful, adjacent to pool complex which was nice for my partner with some mobility issues. Little privacy though as walkway was 10ft from sliders. Beautiful beach access and lovely pool area. Well equipped kitchen, bath. Immaculately maintained inside and out. Would have loved poolside drinks and snack service. Had a magical experience with a monk seal coming to rest within feet of us while enjoying the beachside lounge chairs. Great access to store, Safeway, Starbucks across the street. Overall recommend very easy to work with owners and appreciated TURO vehicle service available too.

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!
