Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were so quiet, had nice balconies to sit out and enjoy the ocean and beach view, and were just right and perfect for what I was looking for. The service provided perhaps the best service I've received at a hotel, with incredibly helpful and accommodating staff. The location was excellent, adjacent to the Marriott in Poipu, and I enjoyed the dining experience at the Red Salt restaurant. The pool area was well-maintained and the facilities were top-notch.
My stay at the hotel was simply amazing. The rooms were immaculately clean and had state-of-the-art features, including an LG 42' flat-screen TV, cozy sofa/chair with footstool and lamp, and beautiful lighting. However, there was a red dye stain in the bathroom that was a bit off-putting. The oceanfront view was stunning, enhancing the overall experience.
I had such a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were perfect, facing the ocean directly with amazing views of blue waves and palm trees every morning. The Nespresso machine in the room was a lovely touch, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The proximity to the ocean was just what I was looking for.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were modern and spacious, equipped with a large HDTV with an extensive channel line-up and most comfortable beds with down bedding. However, the dining experience was underwhelming with limited breakfast options. The service was warm and friendly, and the location was excellent, centrally located on Poipu Bay.
I couldn't have asked for a better location, just mere feet from the ocean with a stunning view of surfers and the beautiful Kauai scenery. The rooms were modern, cozy, and impeccably clean, making it difficult to imagine a 'bad' room here. Although the hotel lacks some privacy in certain areas, the overall experience was exceptional.
The hotel had a modern room with a Nespresso machine, a huge shower, and a beautiful oceanfront view. The staff was super friendly and professional, even providing me with Advil for back pain. The location was gorgeous, right in front of the beach, clean, and quiet. The dining was good but not exceptional, priced at $25 per person. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay very pleasant overall.
