Our two little ones (age 1 and 2) loved the pool and the room (2 BR, 3 BA) worked well for our family. The kitchen appliances and linens were of high quality and impeccable. We found the room through VRBO and rented it through a property management company. Downsides: the town of Kapa'a is not very desirable compared to other spots on the island; there is no late check-out; there is no room service or room cleaning even during a one-week stay. There was no food/drink served at the pool (as far as we could tell, and strangely - no staff seemed able to answer our questions). I would recommend this location as long as you can get a deal on the room price and are prepared for what to expect in terms of weather and ambiance from this part of the island.

Arrived after long flights from Australia. Reception was pleasant helpful and efficient. The condo is amazing with top of the range appliances and furniture.
Stayed in this type of self contained accomodation before, and this one ticked all the boxes.
The room overlooked the pool area and although there was alot of activity, when the doors were closed, we were still able to enjoy an a/noon nap.
A great adavantage also is the small shopping centre within easy walking distance, and is a must for supplies when your self contained.
The whole experience here can only be rated as excellent.

We began our stay here on March 1st, 2013, and head home in about a day. This is a great place for families or couples looking for a relaxing, home-like atmosphere in a great place where you can travel to each part of the island in no time.

We stayed here with my parents and now on our own as a couple. The master bedroom is excellent and very comfortable - 3 toilets in a 2 bedroom is great when you have a whole family staying together! Top of the line appliances help so that you can cook easily, and save some money and spend time at the resort (also nice that the grocery store is right across the street!). The 2nd bedroom is a little less comfortable (particularly, mattresses in our unit, B301, leave some to be desired). But master is considerably better so give the kids the other room! They won't care :)

About an hour to Waimea Canyon and the South Side, about the same amount of time to the end of the north shore.

Overall, would highly recommend. We went through Vacation Rental Agent. They gave us the code to the condo, and we just showed up, no check-in required. There are boogie boards and snorkel equipment in the guest room, too!

This was our second time staying at the Waipouli Beach Resort. The resort is centrally located on the eastern shore of Kauai and within easy driving distance of the north and south shore. The resort has changed little since our visit in 2008 and is still a great place to visit. The condos are large (up to 1,400 sq. ft. for two bedrooms) and well maintained. The pool area is ideal for adults and children with meandering waterways and waterfalls to enjoy. The pool area also has at least three hot pools which are a treat to enjoy. There is also a lounge/restaurant beside the pool with entertainment and great views of the beach and pool areas.
