Waipouli Beach Resort

A family-focused beachfront complex in Kapaa where days revolve around a big pool with slides, a lazy river and sand-bottom hot tubs, with Safeway just across the street. It suits families and island explorers who want a central base between the north and south shores more than a swimming beach.

What guests say

1 in 4 reviews mention kids or family

Guests love

  • A pool built for kids. Two water slides, a lazy river, a waterfall grotto, a sandy wading area for little ones and family and adults-only hot tubs keep kids busy for hours.
  • Safeway across the street. A crosswalk leads to Safeway, Starbucks, shave ice and an ABC Store, and many restaurants and the Coconut Marketplace are an easy walk away.
  • Sunrises and resting monk seals. The quiet, uncrowded beach faces the sunrise, and guests often spot monk seals hauled out on the sand just steps from the lawn.
  • Dinner at the beachfront restaurant. The on-site restaurant and bar at the edge of the beach is a favorite for dinner and happy hour, and some nights a band plays on the patio.

Worth knowing

  • Beach is for strolling, not swimming. The water gets rocky and rough a few feet out with no lifeguard, so guests head to Lydgate Beach nearby, whose salt ponds suit kids and beginners.
  • Check what your view faces. Several guests found that units listed as garden or mountain view mostly look out on the parking lot or the shopping center across the road.
  • Pool can be chilly or busy. A few winter guests found the pool too cold to enjoy, and some reviews mention crowds or rowdy kids at times, though the hot tubs stay popular.
  • Weak cell signal indoors. Some guests report weak cell coverage and Wi-Fi inside the units.
Choosing a unit: Ground-floor units get steady praise from families with toddlers, strollers or older relatives for walking straight out to the lawn, pool, beach and parking. For water views, guests point to upper floors on the ocean side, especially in the A and H buildings, while garden- or mountain-facing units often overlook the parking lot.

Loved the place! The host was easy to talk to prior and the condo had everything we needed and more. Hope to be back again!

The room was great with plenty of space. The grounds were amazing and the beach adjoining the resort was gorgeous, we even saw a couple of Hawaii monk seals.

★★★★★ August 2026

We had an absolute blast during our stay! Our room was perfectly situated right by the pool, and having the beach just steps away made our days so convenient and fun. We loved the scenic 20-minute stroll into downtown to explore the local shops, food trucks, and coffee spots, and taking the beach path over to Lava Lava Beach Club was such a wonderful highlight.The condo itself was immaculate and exceptionally well-maintained. Having all the essential beach gear provided made heading out for a day in the sun completely effortless! To top it off, Bruce was an amazing host—his communication was fantastic, and he made sure we had every detail we needed well before we even arrived. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

The rental was perfect for our week away. Centrally located, 1 minute walk downstairs to the beach or pool. Slides were a big hit!We were super grateful for the beach and water items to borrow!

★★★★★ August 2026

The apartment was large with 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms. Nice big pull out couch & full kitchen. Right across the street from Safeway supermarket. The property has a great pool on the ocean & a great restaurant and bar. It has some snorkeling gear & pool noodles. We rented a cat and were about 40 minutes from Hanalei Bay & Tunnels Beach & 40 minutes from Port Allen Marina for Napali Coast boat tour. If you go hiking, highly recommend a walking pole. The apartment has one. The trails are wild, rocky and muddy, but so beautiful.

Spacious two bedroom condo. Great for family of 4 or two couples. Condo included beach chairs, snorkel gear and beach toys to use during our stay.

Great place to stay for my family of six! The pools were great. The location was great and the room had one of the best view. Although it’s not a beach, you would normally hang out at we did see some seals sunning and it’s in a great spot to hit both the north and south side of the island.

This is the 3rd time staying in the same condo and definitely didn’t disappoint. The condo has everything you need. Great location, close to grocery store, restaurants and more.

★★★★★ July 2026

The apartment was wonderful and well appointed. It was within a few steps of the beach, where we saw a monk seal a few steps from our door. Exactly as advertised. Communication from the host was excellent. There was a threat of a hurricane hitting the east side while we were there. I think we would stay on the south side in the future, as it was calmer and the beaches nicer. The ‘beach’ here was too violent for our teenagers, but they enjoyed the pool. This east facing location was super windy the entire week. The beach view and the items inside the apartment were wonderful. Keep in mind it faces east so you don’t get any sunsets, but the sunrises are nice.

Our top pick for families: terraced down the hillside above Puu Poa Beach, with pools, tennis courts and AC in nearly every unit. The paved path to the sand is easy but steep, about 5 minutes, and a golf cart shuttle saves the climb back up.
