Loved our January stay at Poipu Shores. Our experience reflects what you'll see in pictures and other reviews. The lanai is a perfect spot for watching the winter sunset, crashing waves, whales, and sea turtles. The sounds of the ocean can certainly be loud, so if you think it is an issue be forewarned. The unit is well-appointed with most things you will need for your stay. Several of Kauai's top beaches (eg. Poipu, of course, but also Shipwreck, Kiahuna and others) are a short walk away. As others have noted parking spaces are tight, but we managed to find a space without any issue even for our standard-size SUV rental; just be sure to register at the welcome center upon arrival to get a parking pass. WiFi could sometimes be spotty, especially in the main bedroom, and frustratingly cell data signal could be weak, too. But, overall a great and memorable stay and would definitely return.
