I was in Poipu for a conference and I stayed here for three nights.
First of all, Poipu would not have been my first choice of places to stay if it was not for the conference. The area has many high end resorts and golf courses. However, its pretty boring.
The house is situated in a nice neighborhood. As you arrive, you just go into the house and your room awaits. I personally did not like the fact that the front door was left opened 24 hours. Although you have a lock to your room and the neighborhood feel safe, there was still a sense of uneasiness.
As I walked into my room, which composes of three rooms, bedroom, bathroom and living room, there was a damp smell. I think this is partly because of the layout, the ventilation was poor.
The bedroom does not get much natural lighting as the only window is pretty much covered by plants.
The poor ventilation also means the bedroom gets warm, even at night. I have two fans on and I still feel warm. In Malaysia I sleep with fans on so I am used to not sleeping in a A/C room.
The ventilation also cause the bathroom to be warm. Have you had one of those experience where you showered and few minutes later you sweated. Its like that.
The living gets much better lighting.
The unit did not looked as clean partly because its old, I am sure the owner cleans it all the time.
There are many great reviews written for this unit. Therefore, the above review is my personal point of view.
The room next door, the King Kam room, is definitely a better room. It has a much better layout. Lighting and ventilations seem to be much better.
