Kahala 122 Poipu Ocean views By Suite Paradise

Property is Great!

Great location

We were thankful for the AC in the bedroom, but the rest of the unit was uncomfortable during the day and early evening due to outside air temperature and humidity.

Loved the location, a five minute walk to the cabana on the beach, which was not crowded, and we picked up our towels and chairs for the day. Great kitchen for cooking a few meals. Amenities were also a plus!

Overall a great experience. The pool nearest us (below) our condo was being renovated. So we had to walk a bit to the next nearest pool. A bit noisy during the week. Check in was less than stellar, we arrived a 1/2 an hour later and the receptionist was a little gruff. Told us we had to wait which is totally acceptable. But the attitude was not the friendliest. Had a great time other than those few mishaps. I would definitely recommend this place.

This condo is in great condition, well appointed (I travel with a knife sharpener and actually only needed it for one knife...unusual in a rental). The management company (Suite Paradise) seems organized and decent, but there are some significant strata issues in the complex that bubbled (or rather failed to bubble...no hot tub...more about that later) over during our stay. We arrived to find Kahala 1 pool (the only one with a hot tub) roped off with orange netting. We snuck in with another gal...and then an owner came by and explained the pool/area had been supposed to reopen since August, and under repair for 6 months. Another owner griped to us about paying $1400/mo in strata fees and not having this pool working...not nice for our vacation to hear that kind of stuff. The ETA on the hot tub reopening remains a mystery. We used the pool, fenceless, as the next closest is by #8 and is heavily shaded and cold. NOTE: although there are multiple pools on this complex, they are not accessible to renters from all buildings. Guests can access the Poipu Beach Club, which has a hot tub and a nice pool...but it is not walking distance (not with a bag of beach gear anyhow). I specifically picked this condo due to proximity to the Kahala 1 pool with hot tub. Staying in Poipu is among the most expensive on the Island - we paid a 'premium'. When we checked in and asked about the pool, the response from the management company was along the lines of Hawaiian time and you have the whole Ocean to swim in...fyi Poipu beach is very crowded with snorkelers who have bleached the coral, and outside of Poipu beach the signs say the water is dangerous (and looked it)...unacceptable. We appreciated the chilled wine in the fridge, the appliances all worked great, and it really is a beautiful condo, but we won't stay again given the lack of communication on the pool and our sense that things are not going well for this residence. Summary: condo itself = clean, well supplied, parking spot close to entry (there are stairs in case that matters...about 8-10), very nice unit and thanks to owner! Complex management = not so much.

Beautiful place, perfect location. If I'm ever back in kauai I would want to stay back at 122.

Can't say how much we enjoyed our stay there. We can wait to plan our next trip to Kauai so we can book #122 again. Thank you for your assistance in the booking and making our stay great.

This was very nice. It had all the amenities you could hope for to make your Hawaiian vacation easy and fun. They even provided a nice bottle of wine in the fridge for the first night. Beach chairs, sun tan lotion, cooler, beach towels - these guys covered all of it. Condo was very open and breezy with a view of the ocean. Soap, laundry, dishwasher - you name it. Looking forward to returning for another fantastic Kauai vacation!

We really enjoyed this condo. It looked out over the pool and you could also see the ocean from the back porch. It was really fun to have access to the Athletic club and work out classes (they were an additional charge). The bed was very comfortable. All in all a great place to stay. We would stay here again. The only thing that would have been nice was some boogie boards or snorkel things to use. We had to rent which is fine but that would have been a nice perk.
