Here is the summary:
1. Resort itself is nicely designed. Outside area is green and pools snake around making it feel less crowded. 2 water slides and separate 1 adult only jacuzzi and 2 family jacuzzis.
One problem: during our entire stay water in pool was too cold to enjoy. Not freezing but on the cold side.

2. Beach is pretty but too many rocks to enjoy, not really for swimming, so we drove to other beaches.

3. Restaurant on the property was not good in our humble opinion. Had lunch there one time and that was one too many.

4. Room B404 was exactly as described and is in great condition. Clean, everything newish. Unit has obstructed view of ocean and located on 4th floor.
Stove, cooktop, washer/dryer, toaster, coffee machine - all worked perfectly well.
Dishwasher was not doing a good job and that created some extra work.

5. Location and neighborhood.
From one stand point it’s convenient to be only 18 min away from airport and Costco, Safeway and Foodco across the street (3 min walk). Many eateries around.
From another it’s not a good neighborhood for walking. There is a Oceanside trail that is being advertised but it has small camps of people drinking/maybe living there. We went for an evening stroll and were quite uncomfortable.

So in retrospect we would consider staying in a different location with better neighborhood and on the swimmable beach.

I love Waipouli Beach Resort, and I really like booking through Kauai Calls because it's a lot more straightforward and you typically know exactly what to expect when you get there. However, I'm giving this experience a less than stellar review for a couple of reasons.

The view- first and foremost, I think the view from this unit is deceptively represented in the promotional photos. The view while you are *in the living room* is spectacular. From everywhere else it is really disappointing. I'm attaching photos to this review that accurately show how it looks when you're in the rest of the condo.

Appliances and furniture- usually Kauai Calls units knock it out of the park. This one left a bit to be desired. The couch is extremely uncomfortable, and the furniture in the living room and entryway are too bulky for the space making it feel a little cramped. The safe was already locked, so we couldn't use it. And the coffee maker was really gross. Our first morning there I had to clean the water reservoir before we could even use it. Beds were good, though.

I still love the resort and I will book with Kauai Calls again, but this unit let me down.

We've stayed at various resorts and condos on all the islands. Waipouli Beach Resort is the best all around choice. First, the resort is in the heart of Kapaa, which is 18 minutes from the airport, and halfway between Poipu and the North Coast. It's across the street from a shopping center, but you don't notice it at all because of the privacy, superb grounds, and private beach. The pool complex, spa and restaurant are all superb. The variety of condo decors and views are endless. The layout is perfect. They have struck the ideal balance between laid back upscale adult retreat and everyday kid-friendly wonderland. We booked our condo with Candace at Kauai Calls.
