In late September, 2014, we stayed in suite H304 of the Waipouli Beach Resort. From the moment we first contacted Joshua to the minute we checked out, the experience was nothing but professional and first class. It can be a bit scary reserving a place so far away without knowing much about the owner, but hopefully this review will make the next guests feel more at ease knowing Joshua, the resort and the suites are all top notch.
The resort itself is big; I estimate it has perhaps 100 units there... but, in the week that we stayed it never felt crowded, noisy or cramped. The resort is on the ocean and the sound and views are gorgeous. Be sure to get up early to watch the sunrise. The resort's beach isn't great for swimming, but a short drive up or down the streets brings you to several... including those suitable for every age and interest.
Bike rentals, helicopter rides, Luaus... they're all within a short drive.
The suite we were in was fantastic. I am not kidding when I say my wife and I were literally pulling the sheets off the matresses to see what brand it was! It was that good! Linens, cooking utensils and other basics were also included. Air conditioning and everything else was great. Oh, and the pool!!! Three hot tubs and a pool that is monsterous made it perfect for the whole family.
The resort also has a restaurant and bar with fantastic food. Get the mai tai!
Communication with both the owner and the resort management was also great... complete with follow-up calls to make sure all was well. We had one minor plumbing issue that was handled very well by Joshua. A complete non- event that I mention only to stress how well it was handled.
All in all, we had a fantastic time and Joshua gets my highest recommendation.
