My husband and I were very happy with our experience at the Kauai Beach Resort. Peter's description was very informative and to the dot. Expect to be treated as a guest and not just a person renting an owner's unit. Aka, the staff was super friendly! Imagine yourself in an older, plantation-style beach resort. The pools were clean and plentiful. We snorkeled a little on the beach but the waves were too strong that week. Plenty of beach sand to take a stroll. One day we walked all the way to Kapaa! Useful amenities: unlimited beach towel service, complimentary water at the front desk, 24 hr gym, you can charge meals to your room and get one bill at the end, free shuttle service to/from the airport and shopping. One thing that you won't get is DVD rentals, so come prepared.
