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.

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.

This property is in the perfect location. Easy to get to the north or south but close to shopping and restaurants. Al and Amanda were the best hosts and super responsive with any questions and had impeccable instruction for check in and check out. The condo had everything we needed from beach chairs to coffee filters. The property has beautiful amenities and a great restaurant on site. We will definitely be back in the future. Mahalo

Great room! It feels comfortable, its conveniency of washer dryer, kitchen, and all the homely supplies like cooking seasoning, small appliances, cleaning products and supplies, etc....everything was great! Except that the portal that I had to log into had information that was not applicable. The pool code was wrong-it was another number as the pool man had told me. And the rubbish information was wrong. The portal says I could leave the rubbish outside the door in the hallway. We had a phone call message saying that we could not leave rubbish in the hallway and we had to dispose it ourself in a rubbish bin that we could not find near our room.

Our condo at Wapouli was great for our family of six - we had plenty of room to spread out and the location is terrific. Our grandsons loved the pool and we enjoyed many hours on the slides.

This property served as a good home base for exploring the island. Great location for exploring North and South. The Oasis is fantastic! The best restaurant on the island that we found. Furnishings and appliances dated but the beds were comfy. Great water pressure and air conditioning.

Best condo on the property. Amazing sunrise views and we enjoyed our time sitting on the various patios just steps from the water. Only downside to this unit is the air conditioning. You cannot enjoy the breeze from outside because the air shuts off when doors are open. It also didn’t seem that we truly had control of the thermostat because the temperature never changed regardless of what we set it at.

Perfect location within the resort; very nicely appointed! We just got back from our vacation on Kauai and really enjoyed this condo! We loved being able to open the doors and hear the waves crashing. Beds were comfortable and having 2 bathrooms was great. Parking was very easy. Pools were nice, but a little smaller than I had envisioned from the photos. And, because we got some rain, the days that were sunny meant the pools were quite busy! There was also some crowding at the BBQs since one was not working well. On the plus side, we were walking distance to some restaurants, close to the grocery store and a very short drive to the cute Kapaa town. Overall though, the resort was very nice and the condo was exceptional.

The property has lots to offer with its beautiful views and convenient location to restaurants, activities, and shops. Our sons enjoyed the pool, beach and being to walk to a lot of great restaurants. There’s one of the best shave ice shops right across the street. Our property was very clean and comfortable. The views were worth the trip.

The condo was as advertised. Great central location and family friendly. Property Manager, Alex, was great to work with. Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our time and Priscilla was lovely to work with! I stayed there with my elderly parents and my adult daughter and younger son. It was both relaxing and there were tons of things to do so we found the perfect harmonious blend of activity and relaxation. The property was very clean which I really appreciated and everyone enjoyed the space and the proximity to the beach and the other activities around town. The mattress on the pullout couch was perhaps ready for new life and that’s the only reason I gave it a four out of five stars, as it was a little bit uncomfortable to sleep on, but other than that, everything else was really wonderful! We loved it so much and highly recommend it! Thank you Priscilla!

We could not have been happier with our stay. The condo was beautiful and had everything we could have needed and more. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained and the location of the property on the island is perfect. We will definitely recommend this property to others!

We loved staying here! This was our first time staying in this unit, but our second time staying at this resort. We will now always try to stay here, because it seems to be one of the few units at this resort with handheld shower heads which are game changers, especially when showering kids. The condo was clean and has everything you need. Milo & Theresa are excellent hosts that were always extremely fast to respond. My kids love the pool with the two slides and my youngest loves the kiddie area as he still is learning to be comfortable in the water. We love that we can just walk to the grocery store and the best shave ice across the street. We also love staying in Kapaa for the central location because we love to visit Hanalei (30-40 min north) and also love going down south to Poipu and Hanapepe (30-40 min south). Thank you Milo & Theresa for the amazing stay, we hope to be back soon!!

Beautiful unit with exceptional ground floor location within the resort. The kitchen is very thoughtfully appointed with top of the line equipment. Two full bathrooms, one bedroom, more comfortable seating than two people could need. We had a tiny issue getting all of the need-to-know details from the welcome app as it was not available to Android users. Candace was amazing, replying within minutes both by phone and email with the pool/fitness facility codes. (In hindsight I should have messaged the host before we travelled regarding the app.) The resort, pool, waterslides!!, hot tubs, grounds, location all fabulous with a full grocery right across the street. If looking to stay in the Kapa'a (centrally located to north and south) this unit is a prize booking.

We fully enjoyed our stay at this condo. The location is the best with many great restaurants and Safeway within walking distance. The best shaved ice on the Island (Wailua Shaved Ice) is right across the street. There is a walking/bike path that goes right behind the resort and runs about 6 miles up the coast. It is amazing! We rented bikes which was AWESOME!!! You can also rent bikes and any beach gear in the lobby at Spa by the Sea. The people there are wonderful!!! The condo was well equipped with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, pans, laundry detergent, and coffee/Keurig machine. I thought I would be bummed that the condo is over the parking lot but I wasn’t that bad. When you look out the windo , you see the shopping plaza with the mountains in the background.

The condo was amazing, clean and fully stocked with everything that we needed. We loved everything especially the wonderful service from Jackie with Vacasa. There were two minor things we were missing and Jackie delivered those items within a couple hours. We were blown away by this. Wow! What service!!! We will definitely book with Vacasa again.

We enjoyed the property. The rental unit was exactly as described. Claire and John were excellent VRBO hosts. The location is perfect to see the island, close to the airport, close to a grocery store. Everything was as expected and then some!! we can’t wait to come back and stay again.

Great property. It would be good to educate guests about location of trash room on the third floor as we were walking trash bags out to the large trash compactor in parking lot

Great Condo, very well equipped for a family. Our 8 yr old loved the pool, water slides and lazy river. The beach is great for sunrises, there isn't a lifeguard so you really want to be a strong swimmer to go in the ocean. Lydgate Beach is 5 min away with 2 salt ponds suitable for beginner swimmers. Unit is located close to an elevator and a short walk to the pool. We made use of the fitness center daily, which has spin bikes, tread mills and elliptical machines. There is a Safeway grocery store directly across the street which was super convenient for groceries and plenty of restaurants, ice cream and shave ice places within walking distance if you don't feel like cooking. The beds were super comfy with nice linens. We found the location to be well located for excursions to both the north and south shores, Ha'Ena state park is about an hour drive north and Waimea Canyon a similar drive to the south.

Stayed as part of a family trip to Kauai. Unit is convenient to the pool with a nice walk out seating area overlooking the lawn and pool area, it also somewhat private from the common areas due to excellent landscaping. Pool is great for kids, the lazy river, waterfall grotto and slides are amazing. Great beach for watching the sun-rise, the beach doesn't have a lifeguard. Lydgate beach is 5 min down the road and has two nice salt ponds for kids to swim in. The onsite fitness center is also very well appointed, the equipment is very nice. There is a Safeway across the street for groceries, and Ka'paa is a nice central location for both north shore and south shore excursions.

This is a beautiful centrally located property that is PERFECT for families. McDonald’s, Safeway, shaved ice, Panda Express, dominoes etc are all across the street and super convenient for sending teens to when we needed more eggs, and coffee or if the kids wanted some independence. Pool was so fun! Beach was 10 steps from our lanai. We ate at the restaurant and had an outstanding meal with awesome drinks and service. We will most definitely be back. We did several tours and were within 20-30 minute drive of absolutely everything in either direction. Perfect distance away from airport where we did not have to see planes landing/taking off but were close enough to quickly reach the property. Can’t say enough great things!

Pleasantly surprised that the reality surpassed the photos of the resort and property, Sometimes the photos on the listing do not reflect the reality accurately. But I’m happy to report that this property had everything we needed in a beautiful location.
Jaime G.
July 2025

We debated adding to our budget to get this space but I’m so glad we did! It’s beautiful and I caught everyone in our family staring from the balcony multiple times a day. If I had one suggestion, the space could use a couple more towel hooks or bars to hang wet towels/suits but that’s a small wish compared to the location and overall layout. It was a great base for our trip and we’d definitely stay again! Thanks!

The location, grounds, pool and ocean front were amazing. Condo is in a great proximity to the parking lot, elevator, pool, etc. We highly recommend. The condo is beautiful, clean and exactly what we were looking for. Additional kitchen amenities would have been appreciated: oil, plastic wrap, foil, storage containers. The pool and grounds were A. Would have loved the hot tubs to be significantly warmer. Great central location on the island. Would 100% stay again.
Cheri O.
July 2025

The room was perfect for our family. We felt like we could be together in the living room with space to spread out (play card games, watch tv, sit at the bar/island area). Also, the two bed rooms give you plenty of separation when you need to relax. Highly recommend room G401.

Amazing time in Kaua’i - this property is such a perfect location - you can get to the south or north side easily - the pool and beach were perfect. We were celebrating our daughter’s highschool graduation. We did an activity each day and relaxed by the pool or ocean in the afternoons - will definitely have to visit again!

Great stay, great location. Communication was excellent and very accommodating. Ideal for families. One note is Wi-Fi is incredibly slow, nearly unusable at all times of the day, as well Verizon and T-mobile have minimal coverage in that unit. Sometimes on vacation you do need to work, and this made it nearly impossible while in the unit. If we come back to Kauai, we will definitely look at staying here again.

We very much enjoyed our vacation. The property was fantastic. The location is great if you want to explore north shore and south shore and the property is very close to the airport. The pool was wonderful. We got up early to see some sunrises, which were amazing. The check-in and check-out process was easy. The communication was very good. Alex was our contact and he was very helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.
