Darin seems to really care about his place, and making visitors feel welcome. Everything was accurate, place was clean, and amenities were available and accessible. Access to the Poipu Athletic Club was very nice. The only drawback in comparison to other places we stayed during our trip was its location in comparison to pool and beach. A bit challenging with a toddler, but we managed by utilizing our car. This is not the type of place where you can sit by the beach or pool and have easy access to your room. Its proximity to the main road through Poipu and the adjacent resort makes it a bit noisy at night and the early morning with road noise and service vehicles. This is true especially if you like to sleep with windows open, and use only fans to enjoy the Kauai air. Closing windows and utilizing the a/c would remediate this, but just not what we like. There was also quite a bit a noise coming from the upstairs neighbors. This may have just been due to who was staying above us.
