Beautiful place! And The host was very responsive. We walked down to the beach to snorkel a couple times! It was nice that the ocean and plenty of food places were within walking distance to the condo!

We loved every moment of our stay. It's right on the beach, the weather was fabulous, ocean temperatures perfect and the right time of the year to see the sunset from the condo. We will be back.

Our family enjoyed our 2 week stay in Poipu. The location was great, steps to the beach for swimming, snorkeling, surfing, seeing sea turtles, seals, and even whales. The unit was comfortable but could use some updating. The property is beautiful with lush gardens, roosters and geckos. The only downside is that it is located next to a busy road and public parking lot, and the landscapers start their leaf blowers and hedge clippers at 7 am, so no sleeping in.

The condo is perfectly located on the south shore for a great winter retreat from the north country. Kiahuna plantation is beautiful maintained, quiet and friendly. Having access to the Poipu Athletic facility rounds out a perfect holiday. The apartment is reasonably well appointed, but I would recommend a little refresher and better maintenance and a weekly cleaning and linen change. All in all we stayed for a month and had a comfortable and relaxing time.

We stayed for a week at the Kiahuna Plantation and loved the area, condo grounds and beach!The condo is next to the main road so if windows are open it can be a bit noisy during the day. At night we closed the windows and ran the ac and fans and weren’t disturbed.The lanai and garden off the lanai are fabulous! So quiet and private- our favorite part!Condo is ok but a few upgrades would make it great!The floor needs replacing as the laminate is bubbling at the seams and has shifted, exposing gaps, in places and doesn’t look great.Kitchen is stocked with only the very basics- and it’s all low quality. The 2 tiny skillets were unusable as the nonstick coating was so scratched and marred they were unsafe to use. They need to be replaced immediately!! I ended up buying a skillet and donating it when we left so I could cook eggs/stir-fry veggies.Toilet seemed to have a small leak and would run from time to time.Half the dresser drawers in the bedroom are broken and fall out if you pull them out a few inches.Bed was ok, but very bouncy, so if you have a restless partner, like I do, you’re in for a wild ride at night.All in all we did ok there, but a few upgrades would elevate it immensely. Nicer, quality kitchen utensils and cookware, including a citrus squeezer, knives, and food storage containers would be awesome.Also, the condo lacked a cooler for day trips, which most condos provide at this point. There were nice new Tommy Bahama beach chairs however!

This lovely property is perfectly located and appointed. We have been coming to Kiahuna Plantation for 10 years and this place is the best. We are already planning our return trip. Special thanks to Ivan, an excellent host.

This property itself is beautiful as well as the surrounding grounds! It is so close to the beach which is so convenient and a short walk there from the condo. We loved the beautiful coastal decor and the place was stocked with everything you need for the beach. We loved our stay here in Kauai and would definitely recommend to others and stay here again in the future!

We had a great stay. The unit is nicely renovated and close to the beach, shops and things to do in Poipu. We loved having the beach activity hut on the property. Rented snorkel gear and took a surf lesson. Would definitely stay again!

Fantastic unit. Relaxing and wonderful stay for our anniversary. Well equipped all around. Great places to eat within walking distance. You really can’t beat the location. Our check-in was delayed 30-40 min pm due to late cleaning. Not a huge deal, just a bit annoying for an expensive unit. We got past quickly once we saw the ocean right outside our door!

Spent 11 nights here after a few other days on the north shore. We have been to Poipu than 10 times but the first time at this resort. The grounds were lovely to bask in the sun. The gym membership across Poipu rd. with the pool was a key attribute. The bed was very comfortable and the unit had almost everything you would need to cook in most nights. It was conveniently located by Poipu and Kiahuna beaches. There were chairs, a really nice umbrella with cooler to use. Towels can be checked out from the surf shop down by the beach. Washer and dryer are down the street and take credit cards to use.The unit had a nice breeze in the evening with the plantation style shutters. Without A/C the place was generally cool except around 4pm could get a little hot. (Easily cured with happy hour down by the beach). The lanai felt really big as it was and end unit in the ground floor. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank for your hospitality.. It is really a cute place.

We have stay at the Kiahuna yearly since 2010. This condo is by far the nicest one we have ever stayed in. We will definitely be back! The entire condo has been remodeled. The "retro" style kitchen is very functional and charming. We really appreciated the air conditioning on both floors, especially since the weather was a bit warmer on this trip. The decor was very simple and didn't feel cluttered like a lot of the condos at this resort feel. I was blown away by how nice this condo is compared with the many others we have stayed in.

Very comfortable and convenient apartment located in a development with many old, large, sculptural Monkeypod, Royal Poinciana and mango trees. Conveniently located for walks to beach, adjacent shopping center and the Poipu Club, where guests have privileges (nice pool for kids, deck-side pool service, and well-equipped fitness gym). Easy drive to sites and commercial area in the south part of the island. Great communication with host and good service from the Outrigger management.

We’ve been visiting Kauai for the last 30 years and stay at the KP.This unit was very clean with a well equipped kitchen (i.e., dishes, glasses, seasonings, etc.). We were greeted with a wonderful snack basket including sparkling water. After a long day of travel, this was a pleasant surprise. I know this sounds odd but HUGE PROPS to the owners for upgrading to standard height toilets. So many units have the original ones and it can be awkward for taller people. lolAll in all, a great unit (and very quiet considering its proximity to the main street) I would stay in again.

Overall our stay was great! Well stocked for cooking meals. We enjoyed the info provided for recomendations for places to visit, restaurants, shopping. It was really great to have beach chairs & umbrella to use. The view from our patio was really great but walking to the beach with all the beach gear wasn't convenient through the Moir Garden in front. Quiet location. Plenty of parking.The only thing I'd mention is the bed seemed to be a double rather than queen as posted.

We came in from Idaho during the negative temps and it couldn’t have been at a more perfect time. This place was everything we hoped for. Close walking distance to food, stores, the beach ect. Very nice updated unit with plenty of amenities. Beach chairs, an umbrella and there are towel cards to exchange for towels each day. If you go across the street to use the pool, they give you towels do you don’t have to take your beach towels over there. We loved our stay and felt very relaxed when we got home.

It is very big complex but there are tropical gardens everywhere to make each building more private. This condo overlooks the Muir Gardens which gives a lot of space between other buildings and a great view of the gardens. You had privacy on the balcony as no building was facing you. The condo was clean and bed and linens comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with basic cookware and utensils. It was nice to use the louvers around the condo for fresh trade wind breezes.

The condo was nicely furnished, and nicely equipped. We elected to cook several days and the outdoor grill and indoor utensils made cooking easy. I would recommend this unit to anyone. It was a short walk to shops and our favorite restaurant Keoki’s Paradise

Ocean right outside your door! The only thing I might change is getting a high top for the lanai so you can see the ocean over the hedge. But overall, wonderful spot!

We had a great stay in Mary’s condo. The no a/c was a non issue (stayed in February). All the windows are without glass so you get constant breezes. The kitchen had everything we needed except salt and pepper. The fridge had an ice maker which was great. My kids said the sofa bed was comfortable and the king bed was comfy as well.Loved the location close to the beach. The condo also had all the necessary beach equipment like chairs umbrellas etc. We drove across the street to the pool twice and the kids enjoyed the little slide. Overall would recommend and stay again (not in the summer tho-I’d need a/c). But loved the overall property of the Kiahuna .

This was our third stay at this property. It is in a great location and is well maintained. It is also quiet and private. What a wonderful place to spend time in Hawaii!

I have to tell the story so that no one else goes through the same thing. I arrived in Kauai and spent 4 wonderful days at a resort in Hanalei (which I highly recommend in the north). But when I arrived at this property in Poipo it was a nightmare! They have a nest of cockroaches throughout the unit. According to the management, they tried to kill them with a spray that didn't work (they only spent 2 minutes and they put two traps). They never offered to change my unit. Only Katie the host wanted to give me back the remaining money because I had already spent one night 😱. Not even the full amount... The entire resort is dirty. Unfortunately I couldn't find another room and I had to stay doing thousands of things to not attract more cockroaches. Every day I covered the pipes, closed all my suitcases, and disinfected everything before using it. Definitely not the kind of vacation we expect. I tried to do everything possible so that my young daughters didn't suffer on their vacation. They couldn't even lie on the floor like any other child because of the negligence of the resort. The receptionist mocked me sacrastically saying "welcome to Hawaii" and justified herself by saying that this type of insects were normal. But IT IS NOT TRUE! I spoke with local people who live there and other property owners and they all agree with the same thing. It is NOT Normal!!! The unit has cockroach problems. I hope you take my recommendation!!

This was a fantastic place to stay during our recent trip to Kauai. Excellent location with great amenities included. The hosts were responsive and made sure we had what we needed. The unit was clean and comfortable. We had a fantastic time and would absolutely stay here again!

The unit was perfect for two people, very clean and the area is quiet. Plenty of parking. We appreciated the chairs and umbrella for the beach, and the towel service. Used the gym several times, nice perk. 'Ocean view' is a a bit of a stretch - a sliver of the ocean is visible from the lanai. Had a very minor issue which was resolved promptly by the property management. Would stay again!

We loved our stay at this condo. It was in a great location just steps from the nice beach in front of the condo complex and a short walk to Poipu beach. We really appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards. It made our beach time very easy and convenient. It was also within walking distance to several good restaurants. The unit itself was nice. The kitchen had everything we needed and we loved the lanai. It was great to eat outside and have a view of the ocean. We did have to run the air conditioner pretty cool in the main area to cool off the bedroom at night, but it was sufficient. The bathroom could use updating but it was very clean and functional. Would definitely stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kiahuna Plantation Resort! Our host provided us a detailed instruction for our check in and check out, as well as a list of places to visit and eat! Our condo was very clean and stocked with the convenience items we needed! The location of the condo offered lots of walkable activities including beach access, coffee, dining, and a great health club with a gym, pool and many other activities! The condo is located in close proximity to many great shopping areas, popular beaches, hiking trails, and tourist attractions! There is a nice grass area just outside the condo patio to relax in the sun or sit and enjoy the birds singing! Our one complaint about the condo was servers times thought out the day and night there is a loud thumping noise that often woke us up at night! We weren’t sure if it was a water pump or what but this did bother us, so something to keep in mind! Overall, our experience was great!

Ok....I say that on most vacations, but really, this place is fantastic and I would 100% stay here again. It is just so convenient! It is about midway whether you want to go westward to the Waimea canyon area or north to the beautiful beaches. But honestly, you can just stay around Poipu, where this condo is located. It is perfect for literally walking across the street to Poipu village shopping (for shopping, cafes, restaurants) or the little coffee shop (Little Fish). There is beach access for this resort and it is a great place to watch for whales as well as a beautiful sunset every night. Walk along the beach to Poipu beach to see the sea turtles, catch a monk seal napping and watch the whales jumping and blowing. It's really amazing!! The condo itself is quiet and clean. Note that there is NO air conditioning here but there are lots of fans blowing and we were extremely comfortable the whole time. Also, it is on the 3rd (top) level so you will walk up 33 steps to get there. We loved it!!
