Our travel agent searched this place out for us. We were looking for a smaller, well maintained resort, with a nice pool and close to or on the beach. WOW what a hit she scored!! This place exceeded all our expectations. It was quiet, with a large, well maintained suite. We were within easy walking distance of all the amenities along the Poipu shore.... beautiful beaches, wonderful restaurants, stunning scenery!! We greatly enjoyed our 8 day say and would recommend this place to all from newly weds, families and empty nesters like us!!!

Poipu Kapili is a great place to stay. Some of the best snorkeling on the island is just walking distance away. Great place for surfing too from beginner to advanced. South swells during the summer are very common.

Spent seven weeks at the Kapili and hated to leave. Due to my long stay there I spent my first three and a half weeks in number 45, a nice one bedroom condo overlooking the pool with a good view of the ocean. The furnishings were better than I had hoped for, the owners tried their best to think ahead and meet your every need. At the end of my first three and a half week stay I came back after work to discover that I was being moved to number 57... a two bedroom, premium oceanfront condo. What more can you say than both sliding glass doors (the one in the living room and the one in the master bedroom) looked right out over the ocean, which was about fifty or sixty feet away? Three blenders in the cabinets, a front and side lanais, and I was in heaven.
Every member of the staff is absolutely wonderful. I had one problem with the first condo I was in ... my bedroom ceiling fan stopped in the middle of the night (which can be quite uncomfortable in Hawaii). I called the office from work that day, they were most apologetic and told me that if the fan could not be repaired a new one would be in place immediately. Came back from work and they were true to their word.
I will be going back for the months of September and October and cannot wait. It truly is like being home in paradise.

We were adamant about staying ocean front and affordable on the south shore, and chanced on Poipu Kapili. After following up with previous reviews on TA, we are so delighted!. We asked for and got unit 11. Even though I understand it isn't furnished as up to date as some others, we really enjoyed the traditional island rattan, top quality, light and inviting.

The bedrooms are upstairs, giving the master an unsurpassed view. We even saw a pod of dolphins one day. When the surf was up, it seemed the tide could actually come up to our balcony. It was so cool to hear the breakers pounding the beach, throwing water onto the stone bulkhead. The back bedroom looks over the gorgeous pool. There is a third bathroom and shower in the laundry room, right off the back ground entry. Condo is well stocked.

The property fronts the ocean with a road and sidewalk separating it from the narrow rocky beach. It is a very short and pleasant walk to the adjacent beach, which is referred to as the Sheraton's beach, but, of course, all the beeches are public, and there is public parking even though you would have no reason to drive.

We went with another couple, and sharing the roomy condo was never a problem. This is not a super luxury complex, but is very classy, small enough to be quiet and personal, but still very private.

This is totally convenient to Poipu Shopping Mall (quality gift shops and restaurants), Old Koala town, Kiahuna Golf Course, and a do-able hike to Spouting Horn and the National Botanical Gardens. We have stayed on the North Shore and love the area, but nothing is within walking distance, so we will be returning to Poipu Kapili next visit.

The staff was extremely helpful, and housekeeping prompt with any of our concerns.

Several people have mentioned the construction, but we never were bothered by the noise. The road that takes you to both Poipu Napili and the Sheraton goes through a construction area where a mall and luxury homes are supposed to be built. As others have said, the quaintness of Kauai is meeting "progress", but because of the situation of Poipu Kapili, it should keep it's personal, private feel.
