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.

Nice condo and resort

Great stay, great location. Communication was excellent and very accommodating. Ideal for families. One note is Wi-Fi is incredibly slow, nearly unusable at all times of the day, as well Verizon and T-mobile have minimal coverage in that unit. Sometimes on vacation you do need to work, and this made it nearly impossible while in the unit. If we come back to Kauai, we will definitely look at staying here again.

We very much enjoyed our vacation. The property was fantastic. The location is great if you want to explore north shore and south shore and the property is very close to the airport. The pool was wonderful. We got up early to see some sunrises, which were amazing. The check-in and check-out process was easy. The communication was very good. Alex was our contact and he was very helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Great family vaca. This was our third stay at the Waipouli Resort. We love the location and all the special fun activities. The kids loved the water slides and the lazy river waterfall!!

We loved staying here! The resort was quiet, clean and very family friendly. It was a good location and easy to travel to both north and south shores and close to restaurants/shopping in town. The pool was a hit with our kids (9 and 11) and they loved the water slides! It didn’t feel overcrowded and was always easy to get chairs at the pool. The room was clean, beds comfy and parking was easy! Very happy with our stay and ready to go back!

Best condo in the resort right on the beach. Condo stocked with essentials. Plenty of room for my family of four to spread out and recharge after a day of exploring. For us it was a great home base location to explore the island from.

Stayed in condo H207. The unit was very spacious and nice with an ocean view. Close to the pool, elevator, and beach to watch the sunrise. We loved everything about this property!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Good place to stay with kids, pool is super nice. Stairs need a lot of update. Room is nice, but all appliances work at low capacity. Oven took a very long time to heat up and cook, dryer required multiple cycles to get even just 3 towels dry.

My husband and I are in our 70s; our two adult children and their families live far from us. This trip to Waipouli and Unit A406 was a reunion dream come true. Listening to the waves 24/7, views of the beach, amazing pool with water slide, and its great location all contributed to making this vacation one for the ages. Thanks to the owner Candace for her willingness to respond to our requests and make this such a wonderful stay.

Had a great time in the condo. Would easily stay here again. My only complaint is that the sofa bed mattress is pretty uncomfortable. Luckily we brought an air mattress as a backup.

We just stayed at this property with 5 adults and 2 teenagers. The condo was spacious, the pool was amazing, the beach was rocky but overall was good and the food at the restaurant was amazing. Right across the street ( walking distance) was a Safeway, ABC store, and a good shaved ice.

The property is perfect for a family of 4. Plenty of space for everyone. The resort is very family friendly. The location is absolutely perfect with a Safeway across the street for groceries and restaurants and shops within walking distance if you don’t have a car.

This condo was the perfect home base for our family vacation to Kaua'i! Everything was exactly as it appeared on the listing- absolutely gorgeous! The room was clean, cozy, and loaded with everything we could need for our stay! The resort was unbelievable - the pool was exactly as pictured and the grounds were impeccably cared for! If we find ourselves in Kaua'i again, we will stay here in a heartbeat!

A wonderful stay for my wife and I. Great central location on the island makes it easy to enjoy the entire island with a short commute. Beautiful grounds and everything was just as advertised

June 2025

We had a great time in Waipouli Beach Resort! We loved the Kapaa location - so convenient to access both north and south shores. The beach was beautiful - we wish we spent more time enjoying it. Lots of fun for kids (and adults) in the pool, slides, waterfalls and lazy river. The condo was huge with lots of sliders and deck spaces to enjoy the ocean view and breezes. Irena was super responsive! Only knock on it was that the washing machine needed a deep clean. Front loaders can be tough. Otherwise, 10/10 would stay again!!

June 2025

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was comfortable for a family of 6. The beds were comfortable and there was a good amount of space. I only wish that one of the masters had it's own shower instead of sharing with the third bathroom, but it wasn't really a problem. The resort grounds were beautiful. The location was great. There was a Safeway right across the street for groceries and many good places to eat and shop very close by. It is also a good central location to be able to see the whole island and close to the airport. We would stay here again.

Beautiful inside and out! Loved the pool and having the towels available. We did a fair amount of cooking and loved the appliances. The ice maker didn’t keep up with us but came close! We would definitely stay here again!

June 2025

This was our first time visiting Kauai, and we loved the location of Waipouli Beach Resort. The pool was a lot of fun, and while we couldn’t swim in the ocean right out front, we enjoyed exploring the coral and shells that washed ashore. We had a small issue with the air conditioning, but Jodi took care of it immediately, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a great stay, and we’d definitely consider returning!
Lisa C.
June 2025

The main reason why we picked this rental was it's location. It's right in Kapa'a across of the shopping center where Safeway, Starbucks, Subway, and Wailua Shave Ice are and it was near where our family lives. The suite is also located in a great spot! Tucked away in the corner of the property on the ground floor, we had privacy and great outdoor space for dining. The kitchen was spacious and the washer and dryer came in handy. And of course, their pool with the slides and hot tubs are hard to beat. I'd stay here again and would recommend it for large families.
Kristi V.
June 2025

We had such a wonderful stay at this VRBO in Kauai! The location couldn’t have been better—right in the heart of Kapa‘a, close to everything we needed. It was the perfect base for exploring the island. The two-bedroom layout, along with the cozy living room and well-equipped kitchen, gave our group the perfect mix of togetherness and personal space when we needed a breather.The apartment was beautifully decorated with charming Hawaiian touches that made it feel warm and inviting. The kitchen was impressively stocked—everything we needed and more. Bruce, the host, was fantastic—super responsive and always available to answer questions or offer help. I’d go back in a heartbeat and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone visiting Kauai!

My family had a great stay here. Greg provided everything we needed. The kids really enjoyed snorkeling with the equipment that was provided. The only two things we were disappointed in was the sofa sleeper was broken and the roosters kept us from a good night’s sleep. Other than that I would recommend this place.

This condo was absolutely perfect for our trip. The grounds are amazing (had a hard time peeling the kids away from the pool to go explore) and loved that we could walk right out to the beach from our lanai. Would 100% book this property again next time we come to Kauai.

First time to Kauai. Condo was well appointed, conveniently located. Short drive to airport, north and south shores. Property itself is lovely with an excellent spa, pool, hot tubs and beach. Across from the street from Safeway and some restaurants, short drive to just about anything else, mountain tubing, helicopter flights, Costco, etc. Beach is good for strong swimmers and fun to play in. Host was great and communicative.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great experience- we wanted to be mid-island, and this was an ideal location- close to stores, food, and ocean, and easy to get to activities on north and south shores! Pool was great and kids loved it. Appreciated all the amenities included (towels, beach chairs, cooler, etc.). Beds were very comfortable. Check in and out was very easy. Onsite restaurant was delicious too! We would love to come back.

This property was accurately described. However, we learned that the pool isn't a true 'lazy river'. It does not go through all the way and there are no jets to push you along. But there are a few cute little waterfalls in it and a couple of slides also a few hot tubs which makes up for it. The room is in a great location on the property. They had everything you needed (towels, supplies for washing machine). They had plenty of towels as you can also get some from the pool area as well and exchange them for clean ones as needed. Loved having a fan in the bedroom as well even though the AC worked very well! And the bed... Was so incredibly comfortable!! The sheets and pillows were amazing!!! I would definitely stay here again!!!

We loved the location we were in and the view took our break away when we opened the door! It's very spacious and by an elevator, but there was no sound from it to bother us. The amenities were as listed, and the pool/hot tub/beach was wonderful. The manager was easy to get in touch with and a pleasure to work with.

We loved this property. My mother and mother in law stayed at this unit and enjoyed the central location and being able to get around the island easily. They absolutely loved the pool complex next to the beach. They loved the view most of all and spent many days on the balcony overlookingthe pool and the beach.

I loved that the condo is basically two entire hotel rooms separated by a kitchen and living space.
Michele J.
June 2025

Plenty of space and amenities. Good location. Air conditioning couldn't get cool enough for us and bathroom plugs needed the breaker to be reset a couple times. Owner was very friendly and helpful.

June 2025

We explored Kauai and after we all enjoyed the pool, especially our young girls! Safeway was right across from us, so getting groceries was connivence and easy.

Great condo--everything we hoped it would be. Definitely would look to return if we ever make it back to Kauai. Gemma provided all the information we needed ahead of our stay and no questions or issues arose.

This was the perfect location for our Hawaii beach getaway. The condo had plenty of room, very clean, and kitchen was fully equipped. Lots of amenities like beach, equipment, chairs, cooler, umbrella, etc..The beach front resort had a huge pool complete with slides and hot tub. Also walking distance to restaurants. We definitely plan on returning, thank you!

Al was a great host! A couple minor items when we first got there and Shiela who handles maintenance and cleaning were there immediately. Incredible walk out first floor unit next to the pool and sidewalk leading to the beach. Very quiet and private. Your unit has outstanding reflective windows so no one can see in so very private. Pool and beach were very nice. This location is ideal to see both the north and south sides of the island. The airport is only 15 mins away! Safeway across the street was perfect to get stocked up. Loved the island and this unit. Can't wait to be back. Aloha!

We loved our stay! The resort was beautiful, centrally located, clean and right on the beach. The towel exchange at the pool was a great feature of the resort. The amenities with the washer/dryer, cooking utensils, big and small appliances as well as the 3 bathrooms and beds, made it such a great place to stay for our family of 5. Questions were answered via email quickly. We highly recommend Kauai Calls!

Great location. Wonderful property location. The only thing was that the ocean is not swimmable here and there were so many people using the pool, it was too busy to get in and enjoy
Megan C.
June 2025

The apartment was exactly as advertised. The apartment is located very close to the ocean and has a direct view of the ocean from the two bedrooms and living room area. The pool area was wonderful and maintained in a very good condition. The condo association also has an exercise room that is equipped with free weights, several resistant weight machines and a variety of running machines and bikes. The resort is also located across the street from a shopping center that includes a Safeway grocery store, a Ross clothing store and several restaurants.

Each room had slider doors to hear the ocean and feel the trade winds. Parking is plenty and easy. The pool was fun, kids loved the water slides. Saw two Hawaiian Monk Seals haul out just next to our unit. Would definately stay here again.

This unit is, quite literally, heaven! The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is stocked with wonderful appliances and well cared for pots and pans.

Easy check-in process. Location was perfect. Easy to get to activities we had planned on each side of the island. Great place to stay for walking out to the beach to watch the sunrise each morning. Our teenagers enjoyed hanging out in the pool and hot tub in the evening or walking out to the beach to hang out. The place was clean and had plenty of towels. Our family enjoyed our time and would definitely come back again.
