It was definitely a pleasure to host K! Great guest, easy to work and communicate with. Very respectful of our unit and space. We look forward to another opportunity to be able to host K again soon. Mahalo for Choosing Castle Poipu Shores as your home away from home accommodations. Aloha.
Loved this place and you can walk to everything for the most part. The only thing I would say that could be improved is to upgrade the beds & pillows as that would have made it epic!

What an incredible place. South shore very different than north. Both amazing! The place was spectacular and we fell asleep to the sounds of the breaking waves. Great place to stay!

Beautiful location in walking distance to great beach. Sitting on the lanai listening/watching the ocean was awesome. Unit itself a bit dated but very clean.

We chose Unit 204A for its great location, on a rocky shore with crashing waves and gorgeous views. That did not disappoint! Thankfully we did not spend much time inside the condo -- it needs a kitchen remodel and updated furnishings. Very dated.

Perfect location. 2 great beaches within walking distance. One has a protected pool where you see turtles every day. Couldn't be closer to the water. We sat on the balcony and ate dinner while watching waves crash every night. Pool is right on a cliff with waves crashing below and turtles swimming in the cove. Maintenance was on top of it. Noticed a few tiles missing on pool backsplash, and a few days later, they had fixed it. You don't need AC!! Just open the windows. Check in and out was so easy. Would stay again.

Aloha, Becca! It's so pleasant to hear that you had a blast here and you can never go wrong with the relaxing waves crashing whilst dining. I really hope to see you soon and welcome you back. Safe travels and mahalo!
My family and I have stayed at a number of places in Kauai, but this has the best view of any. It's not even comparable. The easy walk to Poipu Beach made this condo a perfect choice for my parents (both 72) and me. You can tell it's a rental (no personal touches, no salt & pepper, only one pillow on the bed) but it gets the job done. It hasn't been upgraded in a while (the stove took 17 years to heat up enough to cook the pizzas) but it's all good. We were happy to sit on the lanai and drink wine while we waited. They had very comfy beach towels and great water pressure. Would definitely stay again! But may bring my own pillow next time haha.

Aloha Lindsay, thank you for taking a moment to share your experience at Castle Resorts & Hotels Poipu Shores Resort. Our team is so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us even with the slow heating stove and no personal touches for the unit. Feedback gives us an opportunity to address areas of improvement. We will be sharing your kind feedback with the owner so they can see what guests are seeing and offer up suggestions for the owner. Unfortunately, for the salt and pepper, due to covid we no longer provide multi-use items, however, we do continue to inquire with our corporate office to keep this in our discussions for the future. Again, we really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. We count ourselves lucky for customers like you and look forward to working with you again in the future! Stay well and take care! Mahalo Nui, Kahea
The views from the back of the condo are nothing short of spectacular! Being LITERALLY right on the ocean is incredible. And sitting by the pool watching the turtles and waves was great!
This was a great location for a short drive to restaurants, beaches and anything you wanted to do on the East, South and West sides of the island.
We were a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. Parking was a bit of challenge, as there are only 12 spots in the lower lot close to the condo. But we managed to park in that lot every night. This condo is in the larger building, not the one shown in the listing. The condo is right across from the elevator and the second bedroom is right there as well, so you do have some foot traffic and noise walking past.
This was great for us! We were active and did not spend much relaxing time actually inside the condo, but at the beach and the pool. Overall great stay!

I spoke to office person was told I would get a call from manager…received no call… great view was our saving grace otherwise we would have left..

Dear Mrs. Disanto,
We would like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience we may have caused you during your stay at Poipu Shores Resort on September 18, 2022 – September 21, 2022. We realize that our services were not up to the mark. I would like to take the time to address each of your concerns.
The day of your arrival upon inspection of the unit’s appliances and electronics, we found that something was wrong with the dishwasher. We worked to see what was needed to repair the dishwasher and unfortunately found that the parts are no longer available. With limited resources on the island, we were not able to replace the dishwasher in time for your arrival. However, we were able to provide dishwashing liquid and a scrubber. Regarding the unit not having hot water, having difficulty with the faucets, and the screen door constantly coming off the track. We were not made aware of these issues but had we been, we would have sent maintenance over to check on these items. Since checkout on September 21st, housekeeping has been in the unit a few times and have not experienced the unit not having hot water or faucets having difficulty to turn on. Maintenance also went by to check on this and did not find anything wrong with the water heater, or the faucets. They did however need to raise the wheels on the screen door. Regarding the floors, I’ve planned to meet with our housekeeping team to go over our products to see what would help us better maintain tile floors safely, efficiently, and effectively. We also plan to meet with our product vendor to get their professional opinion.
Again, we sincerely apologize for your experience and appreciate you taking your time to share your feedback.
Poipu an excellent location to stay in Kauai. Overall, the condo is good, especially the location. It is right on the ocean with a fantastic view. However, the back bedroom can be noisy with people walking past. We stayed in May so the Ocean Breeze and ceiling fan were enough. But know there is not any AC. Also, minimal kitchen stock and no beach supplies except for towels. I don't know if we would stay in this particular condo again but we would definitely stay on Poipu. If you are looking for a comfortable, clean place to stay and don't plan to cook much, have your own beach supply, and want to be Ocean Front, this is a great place. A swimmable beach is about a 5 minute easy walk along the shores. The pool is also good with turtles sightings every day.
This property had everything we needed and more with those views! Large living room and large 2 bedroom property with a balcony that seats 5 and then some, overlooking the most amazing water views. The sound of the surf hitting the rocks is like nothing we've ever experienced!
Note: I obviously didn't do enough research, but this is not air conditioned, as a lot of Hawaii isn't as I've now learned. But with the window slats open, the breeze from the ocean was perfect. (and this is coming from someone who can be very temperamental in the heat;) )
The location is a quick walk to a gorgeous swimming beach, as well as a body surfing area. Also some great restaurants within short walking distance. Also a short drive to get groceries and such.
There are also grills on site which was nice, however we could not figure out how to get the flame higher, so cooking took a little longer, so for planning purposes that might be helpful.
Overall, we would rebook here in a heartbeat!
Unbelievable views, waves crashing feet from your room, the best sunsets in Kauai from your deck
We loved this condo! Salt water pool at the oceanfront where turtles are swimming feet away! Sunsets on your deck are gorgeous! The condo is airy and clean. Listening to the waves crashing feet from your bedroom window made this stay magical!

Poipu Shores is an amazing property -- we return every year and are never disappointed! This year from the Poipu Shores lawn we saw dolphins leaping and diving -- I've never seen them from there. And of course the turtles are a daily sight that we never get tired of.
