We had a wonderful week on Kauai! The condo was very beautiful and worked very well for our needs! Although condo D405 overlooks the front parking lot and the Safeway shopping center across the street, it also has wonderful mountain views of Sleeping Giant and the early morning fog. We enjoyed drinking our coffee and eating our meals on the patio while listening to the roosters crow in the distance. The condo was very quiet except for the fact that you can hear the elevator motor run during the night (but it you have the A/C on you barely notice it.) We did have one little hiccup during our trip when our toddler deadlocked himself in the master bedroom. The condo units are not part of the hotel so we had a VERY hard time getting ahold of someone who had a screwdriver to simply pop the lock. The receptionist in the lobby told my mother-in-law that the units were not part of their responsibility but that he would send up a maintenance man with tools. It took nearly 15 minutes for someone to help us while our son screamed in the next room. We learned our lesson and always kept the patio door unlocked to that bedroom which we could access from the patio. We LOVED eating at Waipouli Beach Resort's Oasis Restaurant on the beach. If you're traveling with small children the lazy river at the resort as well as Lydgate Beach Park are the BEST. Lydgate has small, shallow ocean "pools" with very tiny waves which were perfect for our 20 month old. We would most definitely consider staying at Waipouli Beach Resort again in the future.
