Our family of four (with two younger children) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Poipu Shores. The place was as described or better...I'm not sure pictures can do justice to the views. There were dolphins and turtles swimming just off the shore. The kitchen was very well stocked and everything worked as expected. The beds were firm but comfortable and the climate control worked well for the low 80's (and you always have the option of letting the fresh air go through the unit).
Having visited a couple different parts of the island a few years ago, we really loved this location. You can walk to a few restaurants and a couple different beaches very easily.
While the unit has been updated, the complex shows some signs of age but nothing is broken or in disrepair. Having the pool right on the ocean was very nice and it was never crowded, even during a busy week (Thanksgiving). The lot is a little tight but it was nice to have dedicated parking.
Great place and would love to return some day.
