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.

Guests consistently love Prince Kuhio’s location on Kauai’s sunny South Shore. The condo complex sits just across from Lawai Beach and the Beach House restaurant—prime for snorkeling, turtle and monk seal sightings, and spectacular sunsets—while Poipu Beach, Spouting Horn, Allerton Garden, Old Koloa Town, and the Shops at Kukui‘ula are a short walk or drive. Many highlight peaceful, mature tropical landscaping, a quiet, non-mega-resort vibe, and views of the ocean, Prince Kuhio Park, and mountains. The pool and BBQ areas are attractive and well kept, and the property feels friendly and relaxed.

Units are mostly studios and one-bedrooms—cozy but efficiently laid out and often described as well stocked. Kitchens typically have everything needed to cook, and many hosts supply beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and even snorkel gear; beds are frequently praised as comfortable. Cleanliness and host/manager responsiveness earn high marks overall, and many guests call the complex a great value and an ideal home base for exploring the island. Some units have air conditioning and/or in‑unit laundry; many rely on trade-wind cross-breezes and ceiling fans, which most found comfortable.

Common trade-offs reflect an older, low-rise property: no elevators to upper floors, narrow/small lanais in some units, décor that varies by owner (some updated, others dated), and occasional minor maintenance quibbles. Parking can be tight (narrow garage stalls and lots that sometimes fill), though street or garage options usually work out. Island-wide rooster and parakeet noise starts early—earplugs help—and a few units pick up road noise. Note the beach across the road is best for snorkeling; for broader sandy swimming, head to nearby Poipu or Baby Beach. A handful of rentals use off-site key pickup, but overall guests rave about the location, gardens, sunsets, and value—and many plan to return.

We did not use pool or bbq area but enjoyed the beautiful setting. My friend and I appreciated the cleanliness, the fully equipped kitchen and, especially the sitting area to enjoy the sunrise and for relaxation.

The condo was very clean but the floor could use a good mopping. The kitchen was well stocked (we cooked often). We were a party of three and there was enough room for us. The bed and sofa bed were comfortable. The laundry room on the premises was a huge plus. There was a nice shopping center half a mile away with a longs drug store, wonderful restaurants and nice stores to shop at.

The view from this condo is rare for the area because it’s next to a historic park with no development which gives this building an expansive view of both sea and mountains. The condo was very clean and nice. Working with the property management company was very easy.

This studio is the perfect stay for a couple. It was clean and well stocked. We were very comfortable here for a week. Every morning we could sit on our patio and watch and listen to the chickens and birds while we had our breakfast and coffee. The grounds and amenities at the condos are great as well. The gardens are so beautiful. The location was great for going to Lawai beach across the street and you can walk there. The host had beach towels, chairs, and an umbrella which was nice. It’s also close to shopping areas and other south shore attractions. The hot water in the shower was a little touchy but we figured out the trick to it. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely studio for 2. This unit is on the end, away from the street and up a flight of stairs, with gorgeous foliage all around the sweet little terrace. Nice sense of privacy. Easy walking to shops and beaches. Roosters on the island so remember earplugs!

The parking was convenient to the condo. The room was fantastic and in a great location to do and see everything I wanted to do and see. It was a very nice , friendly, and quiet community. I highly recommend this place. The host was able to answer and assist me without delay.

From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the breathtaking ocean views, lush tropical surroundings, and the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. The condo itself was clean and comfortable. The location was ideal — close to beaches, restaurants, and local attractions, yet tucked away enough to feel private and serene. Overall, this condo offered everything I needed for a relaxing, rejuvenating stay in paradise.

Great property with a wonderful view. It gets very hot at night but that’s just Kauai as a whole and they supplied a lot of fans!

older unit, but met our needs. Convenient location. The environment of the complex was beautiful and clean. We always were able to find parking. Appreciated the availability of cooler, umbrella, beach chairs. View of water and park behind was very nice. Only complaint was the volume/noise of the air conditioner. Needs to be addressed. And check in needs to be adapted to keyless entry or keys in lock box at unit, Inconvenient to have to pick up and drop off keys

If you are looking for a condo which looks and smells like the 60s then this is your place. Bugs everywhere. We shut all doors and as there is no AC, needless to say we had a miserable night. Kitchen was terrible. Glasses were dirty and had numerous water stains. Utensils were dirty and one knife handle had grease on it. The coffee maker was dirty. Refrigerator door was taped together with duct tape. Sheets had yellow stains which looked like urine stains. Comforter had dark stains on it. Throw pillows had numerous stains. Easy to see stains as pillow was gold. Weather stripping missing from front door, therefore, bugs in the condo. Both of us had bug bites after the overnight stay. Sliding screen had a patch to cover a hole. We were not advised there were 15 steps to reach the second floor. Extremely hard to carry large luggage. The balcony is about 2 feet wide and not nearly enough room for two adults. We have been visiting Kauai since 1984 as we have family who arrived Kauai in the 1800s. Booked thousands of dollars on different activities for 8 days. This is by far the worst place we have ever stayed. When we checked out the next morning, Jim Boitnott, one of the owners, called asking if we were moving out. His manager went to our condo and found there was no luggage in the room. Not once did he ask if there was a problem. He asked three times if we were going to be staying in the condo. It appears he was going to rent it out again.

The accommodation were great! As a realtor for over 20 years, a suggestion this studio would feel much bigger without all of the furniture. Not sure who needs two dressers, desk, and hutch.

The condo was very nice and tastefully decorated in tropical decor. The kitchen was completely stocked with everything you need (pots, pans, glasses, utensils, BBQ utensils, cutting boards, etc. We loved our stay and can't wait to go back!

We loved our stay at the Prince Kuhio condo. This unit is newly remodeled and is beautiful inside. The a/c works great and the bed was very comfortable. The location is great (walking distance from The Shops at Kukui'ula), convenient to many great restaurants (we recommend the Eating House and Lapperts Ice Cream), Poipu Beach (down the road) and Lawai Beach (also walking distance). We also enjoyed the nice pool.

We had a fantastic week at this awesome Prince Kuhio condo. Florence has made the place super cozy with everything you could possibly need. The location is perfect—so close to all the fun stuff on the south shore. There's an amazing snorkeling spot right across the street too. Florence really goes the extra mile with her tips and suggestions. We slept like babies with the sound of the waves and the palm trees swaying. I’m not sure if it was just the season, but every morning at dawn, massive flocks of parrots would show up in the palm trees and hang out for about 20 minutes before flying off together. They came back again in the evening, and it was such a cool sight to see every day.We had a blast and would absolutely stay here again!

October 2025

Unit was clean, instructions for finding the unit and parking were easy to follow. Place provided 2 beach towels, 2 beach chairs, boogie board, umbrella, and 2 coolers, all super helpful for our trip. Electric stove top with pans, utensils, some spices and coffee filters, no coffee. Air conditioning was great, didn’t use the pool but it looked nice and was close by. Only thing was laundry was on-site, not in unit, and they only take coins and close at 8pm. They no longer sell laundry detergent out of vending machines. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the location was right across from Lawai beach for great snorkeling and views.

The resort is close to everything, the beach, Poipu, Koloa and the airport. The place was spacious for the three of us and was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation on Kauai. Thank you to the owner and cleaning lady for finding my wife’s new necklace. We were able to have our friends on the Island retrieve it and send it to us here in Ohio. When we return to Kauai, which we hope sooner rather than later, we will be looking forward to staying here again! Mahalo. Aloha.

Please was pretty clean although the floors could use a little more cleaning. Parking was more of a challenge. The pool should be open later for the tenants. Otherwise overall stay was pretty good.

Great location. 2 minute walk to the beach. Great place to watch the parrots come in for the evening for bedtime. Righ near Beach House restaurant and a hop from poopy beach. Just FYI may not be new to others. This not air conditioned. Ceiling fan in bedroom is nice. September was not uncomfortable. Washer dryer not in unit. Paid on site available. Matt the property manager/caretaker was kind and helpful.

This was an awesome location. Just a few steps to a nice beach and a short 1/2 mile walk or drive to a great one. Very quite with low traffic. Nice little local market and restaurants within 1 mile. Very convenient! Ocean view from the Lanie great furnishings and recreational equipment will definitely stay at this location when we go back.

Perfect location for exploring the South Shore. The condominium complex is very well kept up with beautiful landscaping and a very comfortable pool area. The unit we stayed in was towards the back, but had an ocean view from the balcony. It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Communications with the host were timely and accurate. He even called us the day after check in to make sure we had everything we needed. What was the best about this property? It was only a two minute walk to beach house!
