Chialins place is nicely located in poipu. It’s close to a lot of restaurants, beaches, and shops. It was convenient for us wanting to go on a cruise out of port Allen. The grounds were gorgeous! There is a pool and BBQ for those that are interested and a small beach is directly acrossed the street.
A downside is that the photos show a really upscale place and that’s why I booked it for my mom and cousins and it did not meet expectations. If this had been a friends trip, I think my review would be different. We would rarely be in the room and some of these things wouldn’t have mattered. However since I was looking for something suitable for someone a bit more picky than myself, she was disappointed and it made the trip difficult. First thing she pointed out was that the fridge was rusted. She felt that this is an easy fix so that it doesn’t appear dirty. The counters were sticky and dirty. She found bleach wipes and recleaned everything in the kitchen. The toilet had dust and hair on the back of it. I don’t even look at these things but if it matters to your party, be aware that while the condo is on beautiful grounds, a new house cleaner would do wonders for the inside of the place. The hot water doesn’t work in the sink for the bathroom. It dribbles. The mirror was dirty. There were only 4 pillows for sleeping available on the main bed. There were none available for the pull out bed. There were throw pillows but those are not as comfortable as a regular pillow. These are things that many people would deal with especially for location and price. So just know your party and be aware that things are not pristine but I would stay again with a different group of people. Parking is tight for a big vehicle so if you have a truck, consider parking on the street. Otherwise I saw people taking up 2 spaces with their large trucks. Or smaller cars would park in the middle instead of the side spaces making it impossible for a bigger vehicle to park on either side in the tight spaces. Hopefully this is helpful info to book here with the correct group of people.
