This place was absolutely AMAZING and I can’t wait to stay here again. This was my 12+ time on Kauai and I’ve stayed all over the island from the cheapest hotel options to fancy resorts like Koloa Landing Resort and this is by far the best view I’ve ever had. Being able to see the sunrise over the ocean from bed and watch the sunset over the ocean on the lanai was a highlight. PLUS all the ocean life we saw. Being a January trip, I always go whale watching to see the Humpback Whales passing through. However, I skipped a trip on the boat this time because all you had to do was look out off the patio and see TONS of whales spouting, tail slapping, and full breaching!! The host even has some great binoculars at the condo for you to use but the whales were so close you didn’t even need them. There were TONS of sea turtles of all sizes that were easy to spot from the patio as well and if you went down to the pool you could watch the turtles eating off the rocks from a lounge chair. There was just two of us staying in this spot and the only critique we had was that if we had our partners with us that the one small bathroom would have been a challenge for two couples but that wouldn’t stop me from staying here again. You’re a quick 5 minute walk to “baby beach” by Brennecke’s restaurant and Puka Dog or a quick 5 minute drive to my favorite swimming spot, Sheraton Beach. Also close distance to the Shops at Kukui’ula where they have a great farmers market on Wednesday afternoons AND my all time favorite Kauai Juice Co. on Kiahuna Plantation Dr. Everything is close in Poipu! Highly recommend this spot! While there were a few extra fees that originally almost made me not book because it jumped up the price… it was worth the extra!!
P.S. the beds were the most comfortable I’ve had in a “hotel” stay in a long time. Normally, I struggle with sleeping away from my temperpedic mattress but not here. Maybe the sound of the ocean singing me to sleep helped too?!
