- My third visit to Castle Makahuena in December, 2006 was just as pleasant as the first in 2005. Rooms 2305 and 2306 offer perfect views of the ocean and the sunset from the patio. Both units were nicely furnished, roomy and clean. Throughout each day we saw whales either from the patio or from the benches situated by the cliffs. The endless pounding of the surf on the cliffs during the night hours was a beautiful sound to this Oklahoma girl.
- This location is perfect...near some of the most beautiful beaches you can imagine - Poipu, Kalapaki, Shipwreck and the little known Mahaulepa, where Six Days Seven Nights was filmed. It's a 2-hour drive to the north beaches, but they are also worth seeing. Waimea Canyon is an hour plus and is a great place to see the Napali Coast from above, but go early in the morning as the clouds come in by early afternoon.
- There is a grocery store in Kapaa, a 5-minute drive from the condo, but a 30-45 minute drive to Lihue or Kapaa will give you better prices at Wal-Mart and Safeway for food and essentials. Wal-Mart and the ABC Store have the best prices on souvenirs.
- Duke's at Kalapaki Beach by the Kauai Marriott is a wonderful restaurant as is Roy's by the condo.
- The staff at Makahuena is extremely helpful. Evelyn in the office answered all our questions about all kinds of things. If she didn't know the answer, she phoned someone who could help. The cleaning staff is kind and thoughtful. They bring you towels and empty the trash, so if you are out a lot, you won't see them much.
- Poipu is located on the sunny side of the island, so it is the perfect place to be in the winter months. All things considered, my next stay will be at the Makahuena on my next trip to paradise.

Just minutes away, this world famous beach offers a beautiful spot perfect for swimming, snorkeling or laying out in the sunshine.

Stroll down on an ocean front pathway to Shipwreck Beach and watch the sunrise or climb the Mahaulepu Coastal Trail, which begins just beyond the beach. This trail is a special part of the Kauai History Heritage site and the last stretch of accessible coastline on the South Shore that has not been developed. This wonderful coastal hike takes you across a variety of terrain, from small sand dunes to sandstone pinnacles and even a sinkhole cave. The area provides a safe haven for marine life, such as sea turtles and the endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal. The trail leads to beautiful Mahaulepu Beach, a great place to spot whales in the winter or observe (from a distance) a monk seal napping on the beach.

- The condo was spectacular. Great location. Easy access.
- Absolutely no complaints! We'd come back any day and we will! there was a rainbow every morning and whales every morning. Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms - can i come back please?
Guest, 5.12.13
- Beautiful condo with all the amenities. Lovely view and lanai. Comfortable furnishings. Hot tub was out of service the entire week, which was disappointing, but the pool was enjoyed by the kids daily. Overall a great experience and would recommend to our friends/family.
