We visited Kauai for the first time and stayed in 3 different places, to get a feel of the areas, and this location was by far the best one. We figured that in the winter it’s absolutely best to stay on the South side as it gets better weather, the North being rainier. Poipu is a great base and the location is close to the beach and lots of attractions and amenities (i also found out that most charters start from Port Allen, pretty close). The place itself was very safe, neat, stylish and comfortable. We felt right @ home and should’ve stayed there for the entire stay instead!
