Kelly's place overlooks the front entrance, opposite to the ocean. It is clean, tidy, and the resort has numerous pools, located on the beach, with a good restaurant and bar. The concierge there hosts a 20 min intro to Kauai talk each day, which is recommended. We discovered quickly that the 4 days we had in Kauai were really not enough. However, the concierge arranged our activities, booked them, and made good suggestions about how to spend the time we had. The Kauai Beach Resort is located near the airport, but not too near. It is also located between the very wet northern part of the island, and the much dryer southern side, which made day trips very easy. It is close to lots of nice restaurants as well. Can't go wrong stay here!
