We stayed at Poipu Sands during Christmas 2022. Kelli and Scott were incredible hosts and communicated promptly when I was interested in the property, when I inquired about extending my stay, when I had questions closer to our trip, and when I needed recommendations during the trip. The location is outstanding with a beautiful view from the large lanai of the ocean. It is right next to the Grand Hyatt which has some of the best food on the island. It is very spacious with a well-equipped kitchen
Favourite activities:
-hiking on the Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail right out the door
-kayak up Wailua river and hike to Secret falls (rental through Bring Me a Kayak)
-Drive to Waimea Canyon lookouts and hike to valley bottom

Favourite meals:
