Great location across from Lawai Beach for snorkeling or laying out in the sun. We saw humpback whales in the distance out at sea. The room seemed newly remodeled. They had a great gym with new equipment, a pool table, foosball table and a basic (but fun) miniature golf course. There are lots of gas BBQs near pools and in... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lawai Beach Resort. Lawai Beach Resort is made up of three separate buildings; each building is distinctively different in views, floorplans, furniture and in-suite amenities. All exterior amenities are available to all guests, regardless of which building is being occupied (i.e. pool, mini-golf, barbeques) The oldest building is the Coral building. These units are...

Stayed with family in their time share over Thanksgiving. The resort is in a perfect location and the condos have beautiful views of the beach and golf course and are appointed well. The breezes are lovely. The store has small convenience items and the free DVD library was nice to have. We wished only for wifi in the guest rooms... More

My husband and I stayed here through our timeshare company RCI. We stayed December 10th-17th of 2011. The location is amazing, and snorkeling right in front of the hotel is awesome. Lots of fish, and my husband saw sea turtles twice. If you want to relax and sunbathe this is nothe beach for it, as there is not much sand... More

We stayed in a two bedroom two bath unit that we traded into. We were ont he ground floor whihc was a little bit of a bummer, but really didnt matter since you are pretty much on the beach. We had three kids (12, 13 and 17) and we snorkled every day at a beach that seemed to be "the... More

We've stayed in many, many condos in our travels, and this was very well-appointed. The little details made the difference, from the number of hooks on the back of the bathroom door, the ledge for vanity items, the hangers in the closets, extra tissue and paper towel, etc. The view was awesome. Our only complaint, was that the bedroom faced... More

We rented a time share from one of the owners. I'm not clear on the rental situation. We loved the location, magnificent view and gorgeous, lush surroundings. Both our condo, facing the beach and overlooking one of the pools in tropical setting, and the grounds, were immaculately maintained. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Weekends they host continental breakfast... More

The resort location is good in Poipu, just across the busy road and next to a restraunt is a small beach and the rocky coast. Poipu beach is a short drive up the road. Most everything else is 10 miles or more away ( other beach parks, food stores or places to shop or eat). On Kauai I expect to... More

We traded into our room (Banyon building) with our timeshare but we were pleasantly surprised. There were 5 of us at this location and 2 more family members stopped by all the time and we had plenty of room to move around. Our room overlooked the pool and the beach across the street. We were about a mile from the... More

Very nice location, can walk right onto beach. Was there in August 2011. Great view of the sunset and surfers. A bit out of the way so it takes awhile to get anywhere, (of course this is true of a lot of places in Kauai). The main pool is nice but kind of small. I heard the Banyan building is... More
