Poipu Sands 114 was a little more outdated than led to believe by pictures. Our first impression wasn’t that exciting as we were disappointed in the smell and stuffiness of the place, as well as the wear and tear on the trim and moldings. We think the carpet and heavy upholstery couch didn’t help. But once we opened the doors and windows it was fine after a few hours. The place eventually grew on us and we appreciated the location as well as the large outdoor space. We also enjoyed our time at the pool - wasn’t very crowded. The king sized mattress was super firm (which wasn’t to our liking), but the bedroom and en suite bath were spacious.
We used the umbrella and beach chairs when spending time at the beach. We enjoyed the beaches on the north shore much more than in the Poipu area. But there is definitely more to choose from when it comes to dining and shopping on the south end compared to the north.
The company’s response time was very good as the ice maker turned out to be broken. They brought ice and ice trays within an hour of responding to our email.
As for value, I would have to say this place is overpriced. I think that was our biggest disappointment. I would recommend this place during off season times, but feel I could do better during peak season times.
