The number one place to stay on the East Shore of Kaua'i is the Waipouli Beach Resort and Spa. Located in Kapaa, this World Class Resort has a central location with easy access to everything that you will want to see and do. Plus, it provides a luxury experience with many opulent amenities for your enjoyment, when you are not busy seeing the many sights of Kauai.
E401 is a penthouse offering the privacy and the unique feature of having no neighbors on either side. High ceilings in every room and a vaulted ceiling in the Great Room emphasize the open feeling. You will enjoy the beautiful views of the mountains, palm trees and a sneak peek at the ocean. Sleeping Giant, illuminated by the sunrise each morning and again by the reflected glow of the sunset in the evening, is visible from the lanai and two balconies.
The high quality of construction of this newer resort is evident throughout the suite, ceiling crown molding, large baseboards, heavy solid core doors, Peruvian tile, central A/C and much more. The stylish interior includes a cook’s kitchen with a Wolf glass cooktop and oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, GE profile microwave, granite counter tops, and African mahogany cabinets. There is also a generous supply of dishes, utensils, and pans for you to use. Family and guests will enjoy dining inside or outside on the sheltered lanai.
Two bedrooms; one with a king-size bed and one with two double beds (new mattresses in 2026) provide sleeping for six, (No sofa bed in the living room). The master bedroom has two sinks, a large soaking tub, and a separate shower. The second bedroom has a bathroom with two sinks and a huge soaking tub. The third bathroom, accessible from all rooms, has one sink and a shower.
E401 is located on the fourth floor (top floor) with easy elevator access. The tropical lagoon pool area features a lazy river with a cave, waterfall, two waterslides and a sand bottomed cove for the little ones to splash in. One of the three sand bottomed hot tubs is a bit cooler so the whole family can enjoy a soak. Other on-site amenities include concierge service, fitness center, business center, two BBQ stations with multiple gas grills and access to Oasis on the Beach (exceptional oceanfront restaurant). Just beyond the pool area is the picture-perfect ocean beach. Lie on the sand on your striped towel or relax in one of the many lounge chairs, both of which are provided by the resort. Some people swim and snorkel here, but it is a bit rocky so you may choose to do this at one of the many nearby beaches.
Waipouli Beach Resort is a great location if you enjoy walking! Flanked by an epic coastline and threaded together by the public bike path (just under 10 miles round trip), this centralized location is the social hub of Kaua’i. Having recently experienced a trendy transformation, Old Kapaa Town maintains its historic charm, yet boasts novel offerings for shopping fun. The towns of Anahola, Wailua and Lihue also comprise the East Shore, and carry their own unique appeal. With diverse establishments and activities, you can explore cafes, restaurants, boutiques, adventure tours, aquatic explorations and more on Kauai’s East Shore. Also, just across the road from the resort you will find Safeway, McDonalds, Starbucks, a health food grocery, an ice cream shop, and other places to meet your daily needs.
This impressive oceanfront resort features a variety of privately owned suites, condos, apartments, and penthouses with state-of-the-art amenities at affordable prices. Kauai Exclusive has local representatives to quickly handle any questions and issues that you might have.

The unit was excellently decorated and had all the amenities that we would have needed. Everything was updated, and the kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of towels and toiletries. It was really nice, clean and spacious. We loved the big soaking tub and took a bath every single night with our 4 month old. We loved sitting in the lanai and playing cards. The grounds had several pools but they are a lot smaller than the pictures make them appear - this is not the Marriott, of course. The area was always well maintained but our elevator was broken the morning we left so we had to walk further down to another elevator (not a big deal). We liked that we could borrow beach towels for free (up to 6 a day). The front reception also had beach things for rent like umbrellas, snorkel gear, boogie boards, bikes, etc. The beach was just a few steps away. There are chairs and beds that are up for grabs along the sand. The water was so beautiful and warm, we even saw a monk seal! Some small cons - the view is really of the parking lot but if you lean out and look to the left you get a small glimpse of the ocean. Above the parking lot are pretty views of mountains and palm trees. The room with the two beds had some pretty awful mattresses that had no structure and would’ve been awful to sleep in - kids probably wouldn’t mind but middle aged adults sure would lol. The room with one bed had a pretty comfortable mattress.

We are incredibly grateful for this rental unit. Our original condo was cancelled by the owner 48 hours before arrival from Honolulu, and when we found this unit, it was an instant relief. The views were mainly of the parking lot, but it wasn't loud except for a few roosters and the occasional fire truck from the nearby fire station. Very clean and the A/C kept us cool when it was warm outside. Would stay here again. Wish check out was slightly later than 10am, but we made it work. Only hiccup was our door code stopped working at 9am, an hour before mandatory checkout, and my 80 year old father had a slight freak out moment when he thought he couldn't get to his belongings or use the restroom before departing. A quick call to the property manager and we had a new code. Again, not a huge issue, and we enjoyed all this property had to offer.

We couldn’t have picked a better location to vacation. Conveniently located from restaurants, shopping and excursions. Only a 55 min drive to Tunnels Beach and only 35 min to Poi Pu. The room was spacious and clean and we loved having the top floor.We will be back again in the future and we hope to be able to secure the same room again. Thank you!

I cannot stress enough how wonderful this condo was for my family of 5. Check-in and communication with the owners was easy and they respond quickly. The condo looks exactly like it does in the pictures. The condo is clean and spacious. All of the beds are comfortable. Location is central on the island so an easy 20-30 minute ride to south shore or north shore. Lots of great restaurants within less than 1 mile walk. Safeway right across the street for any items you may need. The pool and property and great as well. The only one downside is the beach. The beach is rocky and not a beach to lay out on or swim in the ocean, but there are plenty of other great beach areas close by. The beach at this location has great tide pools and my kids loved looking for crabs and fish in the pools when we walked along the beach. Overall would highly recommend this condo and we hopefully will be back sooner rather than later.

This is the second time we've stayed at Waipouli Beach Resorts. The location makes it the perfect place for us to explore the island. Getting in is as easy as remembering a code, no key or card needed. The condo is spacious, modern and clean. It's well stocked with all the things you would expect and some extras. I appreciated the welcome coffee and snack. The property is beautiful. The kids love the pool and beach. There were plenty of lounge chairs for this mama to just lay back and relax on without feeling like I had to get up at the crack of dawn to reserve one. Safeway is literally across the street for all your grocery needs. I absolutely recommend it!

We had a nice stay. There is a gentleman at the management company who is very unpleasant and started the trip off with a bad note. But otherwise it was a decent stay. The unit was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was nice and well stocked. I didn’t understand why they had a coffee machine and coffee but no cream or sugar. Everywhere else I have stayed has had cream and sugar. So bring your own. The view is the parking lot. There are a lot of other units with much better views. The hallway noise carries into the unit, so it can be loud at times.

Our family had the best time staying in this condo. The layout was perfect for us and it was very clean. We liked having views of the ocean and the mountains (sunrises, too) and we all loved the pool and access to the beach.
