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.

Overall me and my family had a wonderful weekend. Al made the process very smooth from beginning to end and communicated well from the moment I booked our reservation. Check in and check out was super easy. Room was very spacious and comfortable. Huge bathroom with choice of shower or tub and 2 toilets. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and equipment.Some of the furniture is a little out dated with normal overtime wear and tear and the master bed although more on the firm side was still comfortable. The pull out couch was surprisingly very comfortable and the room was well stocked with enough pillows and blankets for a family of 4. As for the facility, the pool and jacuzzi could use some cleaning. The pool water was very cloudy during our stay, and in the area of the waterfall/cave alot of debris and bubbles collected in that corner. Also, make note that the Oasis restaurant does not open till 4pm. In the room there was a menu for happy hour starting at 3, however the restaurant does not open till 4 and there are no other option for food/drink on site, but Safeway and other restaurants are located across the street. Our stay with Al and Amanda was great and we look forwad to doing another staycation in the near future.

Great location and perfect for my family of four adults. Apartment is very comfortable and we loved the view of the pools and ocean. It was so quiet at night. Location was perfect with lots of nice restaurants near by. My mom with mobility issues was with us and she loved it especially the lazy river pool. One of the best places we’ve stayed in Hawaii. Mahalo!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice rental. It was clean and had all the basics we needed. The best part is the view--close to the ocean and with three sets of sliding doors you can see it from everywhere in the unit. The decor is a little outdated and it would be nice to have more comfortable seating both inside and outside. The property has a great pool, restaurant and plenty of beach chairs. It wasn't crowded and for a a property with a lot of units, it was quiet. Grocery store, ice cream and shave ice places right across the street and plenty of restaurants within a short drive away.

This was a great central location for our vacation. We were able to access both sides of the island within 30-45 minutes either way, which helped with the early starts for our excursions. We played at the hotel beach on 2 days; however, there is a lot of coral on this beach so we also drove to other beaches to swim. The room was very clean, well stocked, beach chairs and toys available for use, with plenty of room for a family of 4. My 12-year-old really liked the slides at the pool and we had a lovely meal at Oasis on the Beach one evening for dinner. A grocery store is directly across the street, which was convenient. The sunrises are beautiful here, but it was difficult to view the sunsets from here. Overall, a very lovely place.

We had a fantastic stay! Perfect location in Kaua'i for exploring all parts. Perfect location on the property, super close to parking lot and pool, yet felt private. Shopping plaza across the street so convenient. Ample space and A/C inside kept everyone comfortable.

Milo and Theresa were wonderful hosts. Their home is absolutely beautiful. They provided everything we needed. Also, the property has an amazing pool, water slides, hot tubs, and easy beach access. The location is great since you can get anywhere from Lihue (15 min), Poipu (30 min), Hanalei (40 min) and Waimea Canyon (60 min) in an hour. The town of Kapaa had a lot to offer too. Milo and Theresa were very responsive to our questions. We highly recommend staying at their home. Aloha and Mahalo!

This was our second time staying at this location (we stayed in a different room the first time.) We appreciate the family friendly pool, clean room, comfy beds, and convenient location. It is across the street from the best shave ice and Safeway. It is 10min from the airport. We highly recommend staying here if you have kids!

Check-in was smooth, and Candace was incredibly hospitable and responsive throughout our stay. The condo was perfect for a family with young kids — it came stocked with thoughtful extras like body boards, a cooler, and comfortable furniture. Everything was clean and exactly as described.We especially appreciated how spacious the condo was. Our daughters have special needs, and the open layout gave them room to move around comfortably. The furniture felt safe and sturdy — we didn’t have to constantly stress about them getting hurt or accidentally breaking something. For once, we actually felt relaxed! Of course, we’re always keeping an eye on our kids (what parent isn’t?), but it was so nice to have a space where we could breathe a little easier and enjoy the moment — even if just for a second. (Let’s be honest, it’s never 100% relaxing with kids — but this came close!)The pool area was another highlight. Our daughters loved the water slide — it was a huge hit. We also really appreciated that the pool had little pockets of slower, quieter areas where we could take a break from the excitement. These calm zones were perfect for our sensory-driven girls and allowed all of us to enjoy the water in a way that felt fun and manageable.The location was also a huge plus — just steps from the pool and beach, and centrally located on Kauai. Whether heading north or south, drive times were pretty equal, which made exploring the island super convenient. Having a shopping center rig

The door handle going to the 1/2 bath feel off. When I tried changing the speed of the fan in the bedroom it tripped the breaker. I called the emergency number and I had great help in finding the circuit breaker panel and resetting the breaker. The fan has a short and should be inspected at minimum or replaced!

Gemma and the entire team at the resort—including Mr. Kevin, the General Manager—ensured our stay was nothing short of five-star plus! This resort/private residence is hands down the best on the island. Absolutely stunning coastal frontage, top-tier amenities, and a phenomenal swimming pool. I mean seriously—who says they have trouble swimming from one end of the pool to the other? This thing is massive!We had an incredible time. There was truly something for everyone. And talk about location, location, location! Being on the east side, we were right in the heart of everything—which turned out to be a huge blessing for us.Thank you so much for the extra thought and care with the chairs and umbrella—they came in very handy, especially for our needs with accessibility. We are so grateful for everything. The property, the service, and the experience were all amazing.Thank you, Gemma and team!

Check in was so easy. The place was big, resort is on beach, but the beach gets rocky after the first few feet in. Luckily, there are lots of sandy beaches just a few minutes away! It was great for our family of 6, we loved the place!

Of course! Here's the final version without "morning walks":---We had a wonderful stay at this condo in Kauai! It had everything we needed for our perfect family vacation – a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, beach gear, and a great location close to shops and beaches. The ocean breeze from the open lanai doors was amazing, and the beach right outside the property is pristine – perfect for watching the sunrise. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxing, hassle-free getaway!

Had a very comfortable stay- unit is well furnished and comfortable. Location is close to supermarket, restaurants but is still private given resort’s grounds. Pool was fun.Communication was very easy with management.Kitchen had excellent range of utensils and appliances.We missed having beach towels/ chairs/ snorkeling gear that we are used to having when staying in rentals in Hawaii. Overall, a very comfortable stay.

The room was beautiful, and it was stocked with everything we could have needed for our stay. The pool was perfect for constant entertainment for the kids and the beach was steps away for the perfect Hawaiian experience. Groceries, shave ice, and souvenirs were directly across the street and there were plenty of options for restaurants within walking distance. Our host responded quickly to all of our questions. Can’t wait to come back.

Condo was in the perfect location to get around the whole island. Check-in and all of the information provided by Greg upfront was perfect. Loved the property and would stay again. Sheila was so helpful on-site when we had issues with the air conditioning in the condo on the first night. She was so prompt to get it fixed.

The property was impressive. Spacious and tidy. Very comfortable beds. There was a nice patio area where we spent our evenings after dinner. Our kids used the pool and hot tub every night. We enjoyed a very nice meal at the restaurant on the last night of our stay as well. Communication for check in/check out was thorough.

Awesome Waipouli stay. We stay here quite often and this is definitely one of the better units we’ve had. It was beautifully updated, the furniture was comfortable (something that’s lacking in a lot of the units), the kitchen was well-stocked, & they provided all the beach gear you could need. Highly recommend, we will be staying at this unit again!
Carey W.
July 2025

The view was amazing as the pictures show, but the whole property needs a refresh. The smell in the hallway is horrible. The master bedroom has paper thin shades on the windows. The light was so bright all night from the lights on the property right next door it made it hard to fall asleep and when the sun came up it was too bright to fall back asleep.The slides in the pool were a hit, and the kids loved that and the sand area in pool was fun. Not a ton of chairs with shade at the pool.
Donald R.
July 2025

The host was very responsive prior to our arrival. Check in was easy. The property is amazing. The condo was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals ourselves. There were lots of board games, books and beach gear available if we wanted them. Everything was perfect and we had an amazing time. We would definitely rent this unit again.
