We were pleasantly surprised by these accommodations. Greatly enjoyed being able to see the sunset. And even though we were not directly on the beach, it was a short walk. Also, there’s restaurants and shops around the area there. The full kitchen with all the amenities was also very much appreciated. We had no issues with this location. We very much enjoyed our visit.

I have stayed here several other times. The location is great. The condos are nice. There was a policy change to only one towel per person, which is inconvenient because the place to get a new towel is open 8:30 am - 5 pm at one location in a large property, so you have to plan getting a towel into your schedule. The description was \"ocean view\" but since it was on the first floor, there wasn't much of an ocean view, so I was disappointed. Otherwise, the condo was in great condition, decorated nicely, and had chairs, snorkles, coolers, and boogie boards.

We were first checked into a terrible room with no ocean view, dirty and hot. They immediately offered us a different room and I couldn’t be more pleased! I loved my stay, the only thing is that in the website it doesn’t mention that the pool is off property across the street. I highly recommend staying here!

The grounds on this resort are spectacular. I don't usually notice flowers but I've never seen anything like this.

The beach was the most amazing beach I've ever seen. I'm a mainlander so take that with a grain of salt, but I'm seeing other beaches on the island and nothing compares. The waves were always crashing, people were surfing, there are huge areas of sand, . it was amazing.

Before coming I read reviews that things are in disrepair. I did not experience that. Things in the room were a bit old, but everything was there and everything worked. But most units seem to have private owners, so you mileage may vary.

Highly recommended. I opted for an ocean view and I got one near Kiahuna Beach (about 3 mins walk). Also had an amazing sunset view (partially covered by trees once the sun set). Very nice place with big rooms and ample parking space. I would stay there again.

Our ocean view was still 200 yards from the beach. Staff, and maintenance was fantastic! Owners had everything you needed from umbrellas, beach chairs, boogie boards, you name it. Furniture needs to be steamed cleaned though. All in All - our expectations fell a little short considering the value that was stated on the property view.

Had a great time in Kauai. Hadn't been back to the island in 15 years.
I have to say that the stay was made particularily enjoyable by staying at Castle Kiahuna Plantation & beach Bungalows.
Our stay was in suite 89 and the supplies provided were all good. Nicely decorated and was very clean. Short walk to the beach that was excellent.
Would recommend this suite as very good. Only caveat is that if you are the type that must have air-con , this suite does not have it. Not sure if other suites on the grounds have it. Breezes keep the suite very comfortable , so no problem for us.

We stayed at this property for our honeymoon and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience.

Upon arrival, the unit was not properly cleaned. There were visible stains on the bedding, dust on exposed wires, missing bath amenities, and the comforters were very old and visibly dirty. Because of this, we did not use the comforters for the entire stay. When we reported the issue, we were only given clean sheets and told to change them ourselves. No housekeeping ever came to clean the unit.

We contacted the property multiple times requesting that the room be properly cleaned the next day, but no one came at any point during the stay. Room service was not offered as an alternative, and the Wi-Fi was not working properly, which added to the inconvenience.

After the stay, management acknowledged that the situation was below their standards and made an offer to address it. However, the proposed resolution was not suitable and did not reflect the level of disruption and stress this caused during our trip, especially given that the issues remained unresolved for the entire stay.

Given the lack of cleanliness, lack of on-site support, and unresolved follow-up, I would not recommend this property, particularly for special occasions such as a honeymoon.

While the mattress was very comfortable, the living room furniture has seen better days. We had a first floor unit and the drains didn’t drain very well resulting in a less pleasant shower experience. All that said the location is indeed paradise.

The room itself was fine (though the floors did not feel clean), and the resort nice with its own beachfront and grassy area to lounge in. However, our room was located on the ground floor right next to the main road through town and it was incredibly noisy. Road noise, noise from the bar across the street, noise from the neighbors. No soundproofing at all between units, we could hear everything from the family above us. Windows had to stay open to ventilate and cool the unit, so we were really stuck. The only other rooms available were oceanfront and moving there would have required us to pay a large upcharge. Would not stay there again due to the noise.

Our favorite place to stay. The room had some fun stuff for kids as well (boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkel stuff, i realize these rooms are all different but would be great if they just took a pic of the \"extras\" closet so we knew we didnt need to pack our snorkel stuff.

We woke up to the first morning to find cockroaches in the room. We have stayed here many times in the past and never had this problem before. The room was somewhat run down. The staff apologized and sent over pest control. We unfortunately ran into the cockroaches 2 more times before we left. No offer of another room. When I pressed them for some type of compensation, they made an offer, which I refused. I pointed out that they charged a cleaning fee when we checked in, but obviously the room was not clean when we got it or their would not have been cockroaches in the room.
This didn't make for a pleasant stay.

The best location on the coast. Friendly staff. A botanical garden right on the property! Plenty of working grills make it easy to cook lunch or dinner. Just 200 meters from the hotel is a beach with a large population of turtles; it's so cute to watch them. We highly recommend it!

To start, I’d recommend absolutely going for Ocean View. Quiet, peaceful. The beach is beautiful, the lawns and greenery are very well kept, the property is very, very nice. The condo was perfectly fine, a comfortable bed, fans kept me cool, kitchen nicely organized. Several BBQs available for grilling. Lack of a pool is a minus. But the trick that left a sour taste in my mouth, despite being in the beauty of Kaua’i, was this property’s unacceptable charge of a bogus “cleaning” fee: It’s a very large sum for basically nothing. This is sneaky, greedy and totally unnecessary. They hit you with it at check in, with no warning.Non-negotiable. It’s wrong, and not keeping with the Aloha spirit of Southshore Po’ipū. Buyer beware!

We had an amazing stay at this apartment complex! The property is stunning, with lush green landscaping, tall palm trees, and vibrant tropical plants that create a truly serene atmosphere. Its beachfront location is unbeatable, offering direct access to a lovely sandy beach. The snorkeling was a pleasant surprise—not a coral reef, but we still spotted a variety of fish and even a sea turtle! Surfing is also an option here, with board rentals conveniently available on-site. While the boards aren’t top-notch, it’s still a fun way to try surfing.

The apartment itself isn’t luxurious, but it’s of decent quality and perfectly comfortable for a relaxing getaway. We appreciated the thoughtful amenities, like free beach chairs and umbrellas, which made lounging by the water so convenient.

For dining, there’s a restaurant nearby, but having a car is a must to fully explore and enjoy everything Kiahuna has to offer. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we’d happily return for another stay!

It’s really a garden hotel, lot’s of greenery everywhere. Many dining options nearby. Good location. We loved the ability to exchange beach towels for fresh ones when we needed. Hotel’s and nearby Poipu beach are good for snorkeling and surfing. On the other hand, the hotel is not perfectly quiet. Most of rooms don’t have an AC and you have to leave shutters open for ventilation. And you will hear everything happening around your building, day and night, especially roosters

This was our third time staying there. It’s clean alright but it’s very old and needs renovation. We stayed there for our honeymoon thirty one years ago and today everything was the same but way older. There were so many mosquitoes in the bathroom that I couldn’t put my foot down without stepping on a whole bunch of them. Next time I go to Kauai, I will stay somewhere else.

The cleaning fee is ridiculous it’s a lot of money, it’s non Refundable and you have to take your dirty towels to the front desk yourself and get clean ones plus toilet paper, shampoo all of that you have to go get yourself if you want a maid to actually come into your room there is ridiculous extra charge each time. (Not the cleaning charge) The room is nice! And the property is clean and nice.. my kids loved the pool it’s across the street but the walk was not long. I didn’t like the beach towel cards you get a towel card for each person in your group but if you miss place one or any it’s-an expensive fee per card I didn’t dare use them Incase I lost one plus I couldn’t find the place to get the beach towels (different from the pool towels) it’s close to Poipu Beach and that was our favorite lots of turtles and the sand was amazing and the water was warm.

We loved everything about the Kiahuna Plantation. Our room was large and we had gorgeous views of the ocean from our 2nd story lanai (porch). The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner daily. The bathroom was also large and the shower was comfortable. We sat out on the lanai for breakfast every morning and watched the tropical birds. The grounds were impeccably maintained and it felt like being in a botanical garden just to walk around the property. It was a 2-minute walk to the beach, and less than 10 minutes walking to Poipu beach to see the seals, sea turtles, and amazing snorkeling. I would recommend this resort highly to couples and families. Thank you to the very friendly staff as well.

good location but old bed and sofa

We arrived in midnight for checking in and emailed the property for late arrival before arrival. A man was waiting for us and guided us for checking in and also led us our room.That is big help given the property is large and was very dark in the midnight. Appreciate the man; Otherwise, we might have been struggling for a while to find the right place.

This property is well maintained and has large green open space that is wonderful!

Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Depending on APT location, we booked room with ocean view. Actually we could not see ocean but could see trees close to ocean. Thus please make sure you are going to get rooms ocean view when you are booking.

We stayed two weeks. The property does not change any beddings and towels et al. There is a charge for delivery items to room.

Bed and sofa are VERY VERY old and dirty! Also make noise and very very soft - Truly uncomfortable and ugly!

Others are great.

My husband and I loved staying at the Castle Kiahuna Plantation & Beach Bungalows. We would definitely recommend it and stay here again. The location is perfect, just by Poipu Beach and literally on the sand. The sunsets over there are just magical. The room is a a little bit dated, but that was not an issues for us because everything was super clean and tidy. Our room had a kitchen with everything we needed (appliances, pans, utensils, etc). The pool/restaurant/bar is located across the street at the Poipu Beach Athletic Club (not really inside the hotel complex), but that was made clear when we made our reservation and we knew what to expect. The Poipu Beach Athletic Club is actually pretty fun and super close. There are several stores, restaurant and groceries nearby (either long distance or short drive).
