This was everything we had expected. We have been to kauai as a family and stayed at the Marriott in Poipu. We wanted a different experience on the north shore and this was perfect. The pool was great very few people used it and it was beautiful. Since it is in a condo community with people that live there year round we felt like we needed to be quieter with our children than we were when staying at a resort, but if that is OK then you will love it. We would love to stay there again.
