Poipu reviews.

Akahai Ani - it was an awsome stay. The house was so cool and the boys loved the pool.

Baby Beach Bungalow II - This is the second time we stayed here, and the unit is great.

Ho'ohu Nani - What I liked best about the unit I rented was that when we finally saw it in person it was WAAAY better than we expected. The pictures and virtual tour made it look pretty nice, but in reality it was phenominal!!! We LOVED the house and did not ever want to leave.
The customer service I received was top notch. Everything from the booking and payment arrangements to the access into the house was effortless to us.
The best part of my trip was my wedding on Shipwreak beach of course:) - and then we had dinner at Tidepools restaurant at the Grand Hyatt. It was so close that we walked home along the ocean front walkway for a beautiful end to our special day. We had debated booking a room at the Hyatt for our wedding night but we were glad we didn't. There is no way the room there for $500 a night would have been anywhere near as nice as the room we alreadcy had at the house- with a walk in closet, king size bed, lanai off our room, huge bathroom with 2 sinks, a jacuzzi tub and a huge walk in shower that you never wanted to get out of.
The best restaurant I found was The Beach House Restaurant and Tidepools was a close second.
The best picture I took was of a sunset from the Lanai at the house - we had a beautiful view of the ocean.
The part of my trip I would definitely recommend to others is hiking the Napali Coast trail to the beach (2 miles) and then waterfall (2 miles). Be warned this is not for beginner hikers though!
The best "insider tip" I received while on my trip was not to take the Napali Coast sailing trip with Blue Dolphin if you were prone to sea sickness. We cancelled that and rebooked a 2 hour sunset sail on the south end and I was still sea sick for 2 hours. The 5 and 1/2 Napali trip would have been awful for me!
I didn't have time this trip, but next trip to Hawaii I'm looking forward to the plantation tubing and maybe a helicopter tour.

Hale Malanai - This house was a wonderful place to stay. It opens up well but yet is very private. Perfect for a couple with 2 kids. Great beach just right across the street.

Regency at Poipu Kai 4 Bedroom - The customer service on line and over the phone was superb.
The unit was spacious and generally well appointed.
I would recommend trying some of the local restaurants for good comfort food including Oki Diner in Lihue and Kountry Kitchen in the northern end of Kapaa.
Next trip I am looking forward to taking a few days to see Lanai & Molokai.
The best part of the trip was simply relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet in Kauai and at the Poipi Kai at night.

Poipu Sands 333 -
The unit was perfect, it was very clean and fully equiped and the best part was how quiet and peacefull the complex was. We enjoyed being able to walk to the Hyatt and watch the whales from the deck. A big plus was the available beach chairs, boogy boards and coolers at the unit. The best thing about the unit was listening to the waves crash at night and the morning sunrise over the water. Our favorite restaurant was the Plantation Garden. I would highly recommend the surf lessons it was a blast. Next time I hope to try the zip lines. We would rent this unit again, no question. Please let the owners know they have a lovely home and it was greatly appreciated!!


P.S It was great to have comfortable beds, so many rentalshave terrible mattresses.

Kahalekai - The Kahalekai was beautiful. The house is right on the water, and we went to sleep with the sound of the surf every night. The best part of our trip was watching the whales breach out of the water while sitting on the patio...it was awesome. We took a helicopter tour of the island which was beautiful. We also ziplined, which was amazing. One of the best parts of our trip was just relaxing with our group (4 couples of old friends) while enjoying the Kahalekai. We made new friends with the staff at Brenneckis in Poi Pu........what fun. The rental company was very accomodating and we felt very welcome. Thank you!

Kiahuna Hale - The location was great! We had six adults staying for a week and it was perfect for us. The dog barking at night across the street was the only problem.

Hale Mahana Kai - nice local, great weather, long days, awsome wildlife. a wondreful time had by all. thank-you

Baby Beach Bungalow I - The beach was reasonable for snorkeling but not for swimming without shoes.The house was very comfortable apart from the morning wake up call at o430 am from the resident Rooster-but we got used to that.The weather was only fair- a rain coat is a must.The trip up the canyon was beautiful and the rain cleared for a while.
