Beautiful resort, far end of the resort is half a block to the ocean which has rock on the shore and is inaccessible. Nearest beach is is a 15 minute walk down the road next to the ocean pas the Sheraton. Best beach to go to is beyond that and is a 5 minute car ride to Poipu beach. The beach has great sand with some rock. Great area for snorkeling and seeing fish, seals, and turtles.
The rooms are very roomy with the single bedroom having a full living room, kitchen, dining room table, separate bathrooms with a walk-in shower and one with a tub. Single toilet. Bedroom with walk out deck. Portions of the buildings are close to each other and you could end up looking at your neighbors in another building. Washer and dryer located in the suite with detergent supplied. Nice to have for a long stay or if you are island hopping, can cut down on the amount of clothes needed to pack.
The onsite bar and restaurant is good, there are better restaurants in the area, but it works in a pinch when looking for breakfast or a quick lunch by the pool.
The staff was very welcoming and went over all the features. There is a marketplace next to the reception area with snacks and a coffee bar along with items you may need.
The fitness center is plain, a few weight machines, treadmills, and bikes. Basics, but with the amazing weather you can hit the trails around the area.
The pool area is the beat on Kauai, and one of the best in Hawaii. Multiple levels on pools, slides, zero entry area, two large hot tubs. Plenty of seating around all the pools, separate pools away from the main pool. We did encounter a group of locals that had come in and were using the pool, they were there for more than two hours before security came and asked them to leave. Should have more security around the resort, we saw a few more people that looked like they didn t belong on the resort using the pools and other facilities. Never felt insecure, but more of a show of security would be nice.
