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.

Beautiful resort, great views, will definitely stay again!

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!

This condo is exactly as advertised! Comfortable condo with a ton of room to spread out. We stayed for a week and felt right at home. Mahalo for a wonderful stay!!

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.

July 2025

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.

Condo was beautiful and in a great location. Pool was really fun for the kids and it had a great view of the ocean.

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!

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.

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.

This place was absolutely wonderful. The condo was clean and well appointed. Everything worked. The pool was a fan favorite for my kids. It’s the best place we have stayed in at this price range. It’s also in a great location to base if you will be traveling the whole island. I can’t say enough good. It was a wonderful trip.

We absolutely loved the location! The lanai was a favorite relaxing spot for us to sit with our coffee and enjoy the ocean waves. The sunrise was only steps away plus we got to share the morning sun on the beach with a seal! We even enjoyed our daily visits with the chickens/rooster.We would definitely enjoy a future visit!Thank you!

Had an absolutely wonderful. The location of the room was perfect, very close to the beach and parking. My only complaint was that people continuously walked across our patio right in front of the door so we chose to keep the curtains closed. This is by far the best resort in the area if not in all of Kauai!!! Thanks for a great stay!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our 8th stay at Waipouli and it is pleasing to see that the resort condition has improved since our previous visit. It’s a great locale, very underestimated by many. Walking distance to everything, well positioned to access both sides of the island and not far from Lihue. This unit wasn’t our favourite - the lounge area isn’t well set up to be comfortable for more than 2x and the lack of outdoor dining table/chairs was a dissapointment.

Condo was clean, Jodi responded quickly and pleasantly to any and all questions I had. The kids loved the pool and beach. the location was perfect and central to go venture and see everything we wanted to see!!

What a wonderful condo in a gorgeous resort on the beach! The condo is spacious, richly appointed, and well equipped. The resort pool is a 185,000 gallon lazy river with multiple waterfalls and spas. It has no equal on the island and few in the state of Hawaii. The Oasis on the Beach restaurant was excellent. Candace at Kauai Calls was very quick to respond and helpful with our requests. I would highly recommend this property!

Great property, just as advertised. Our family loved our stay. The unit impressed. The beds were super comfy. Everything you need for your time was provided. The location was perfect. Close to grocery store and easy to get to north and south side of Kauai. We will be back.

This condo was perfect for our family of 5. Spacious with beautiful views. The layout with multiple bathrooms was great! Very clean. Kids loved the pool, slides and hot tubs. Central location makes it easy to explore both the north and south sides of the island. It was truly perfect.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo is nicely maintained with cooking amenities, comfortable bed, a sofa bed (we did not try but it's there), hot water in the shower, a large jacuzzi tub, and lots of room for our toddler to do his thing. We did not pack many indoor activities but there is a Ross right across the street where I was able to get some coloring items and a replacement purse. The location of the condo in the resort is great because it's right next to the parking and tucked in enough to not get the noise from the central pool/lazy river area. But it is close walking distance to the pool area and the beach which was amazing! Driving proximity is great also. Close enough to the airport, Kapa'a Market, about an hour drive to Princeville (such a beautiful drive). One lane streets mostly so being close enough to the airport was good (12 min drive) and prevented the stress of getting stuck in traffic. We loved the lazy river and our son loved the kids jacuzzi. Overall we loved our stay here and would consider staying here again.

We are so glad we picked this place to stay in Kauai! It was half way between all the places we wanted to see and had a super cute downtown area. The resort was beautiful and the pool was amazing! We had an amazing two week trip!
Hannah R.
July 2025

We have stayed at this resort a few times. Love it! The pool area and beach access are outstanding. We had a toddler this time, so this ground floor unit with access to a grass lawn was perfect. Two King beds are hard to find, so we were happy to find this unit. We had everything we needed and there was even a toddler life vest, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc. Safeway, Ross, Starbucks, Wailua Shave Ice, and ABC Store are a short walk from the property. The only negative was that all of the grills on the property had some burners out. We would definitely book this property again. Excellent! You won't be disappointed.

We had a great time and the condo was perfect. Gemma and Mike were great hosts and super responsive. The condo had everything we needed and more. And the location is central for exploring the island.

We had a great time! The resort was centrally located so we never felt like we had to drive far. At time the ocean at the resort was calm enough that we could get in. The only issue we had was my daughter and her fiancé.got stuck on the elevator for amount an hour and we had to call the fire department. The resort quickly fixed the elevator and had it working by the next morning.

July 2025

The pool was a highlight and the grounds are beautifully kept. The kitchen was wonderful to cook in and better stocked than many condos we have stayed in. For example, they had metal grill utensils, an oven thermometer, margarita glasses, and a rice cooker. It was spacious and a comfortable place to relax in. We didn't hear neighbors during our stay. Communication was good. The only down side was that the WiFi isn't the strongest, and the password in the binder needs to be updated. We were able to figure it out. We would book this unit again.

A short walk to the beach and just across the street from Safeway, local bakeries. Two minute drive from coconut market, which has local shops, restaurants, and a farmers market. The pool was fantastic and Oasis on the Beach was excellent. Very responsive host. Refunded us when our AC went out, which was fixed the next day. We would definitely stay here again.
