Kiahuna resort is one of the nicest areas we have stayed in on Kauai.
For a one bedroom unit the bed was comfortable and the room Included a small safe which was appreciated. There was road noise when the windows are open.
In the living room the sofa bed was squeaky and noisy but got a topper from management on request.
Timely property management response rate.
The bathroom sink and toilet are surprising low and seems to accommodate really short people. Due to being on the first floor, drainage in the shower was slow and needed repair and was fixed.
We didn't know which building/unit we were in prior to booking. Circling the building would have been helpful as the general location is not clear in the photos. We felt misled by all the photos of units with wonderful locations at or near the beach which we assumed was ours. If we had known generally where the unit was we would not have rented the unit.
On the positive side, lots of amenities including snorkeling, beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards and cooler. Don't count on the two surfboards shown in the photos, they are only for "advertising”, which for us, one of the big appeals.
The unit looks out on a nice green lawn and the back of another hotel's parking lot with some trees and flowery bushes to hide it. We didn't see this in the pictures.
