    Gorgeous resort right on the ocean. Family friendly lagoon style pool with great snack bar. Turtles in the lava rock tides everyday. Beautiful walking path along the ocean for miles. Walking distance to sand beaches, coffee shops and high end restaurants. Short drive to great shopping. Easy trip to Waimea, Kapa'a, Princeville, Lihue, etc.

    Very relaxing atmosphere there is no rush on you The staff is very friendly and helpful. Mahalo. Use the outdoor grills and eat outside if weather allows. Go and explore the island!

    This is our favorite Kauai resort! Our OCEAN VIEW unit provides great unobstructed views of the ocean right off the balcony with incredible sunrises! Several turtle feeding stations to watch right in front of our resort! An amazing and wonderfully personable staff who greet us when we arrive with, “Welcome Home.” It feels like we ARE home, and that the long-term staff members are our extended family members. The units are lovely and always exceptionally clean. We never hear noise from our neighboring units due to the exceptional structural sound-proofing of the building. There is a large “Adults Only” hot tub that we would enjoy every afternoon while barbecuing our dinner. Absolutely the BEST CONDOS on Kauai. Also, if you don’t already know, the weather is ALWAYS SUNNY IN POIPU. Truly a Bit of Paradise available for your use EVERY YEAR.

    Great resort we have been there many times. The resort is right on the Ocean. We love to sit out on the balcony for breakfast and morning sun and watch the Ocean. You are just a short walk to Shipwreck Beach for sand, sun and surf. Units have AC and full kitchen, outside has BBQs. From the airport you pass Costco and Safeway for the week's food and drinks.

    This is one of our favorite places to relax in Hawaii. It's a quiet island with a lot to do!

    Go tubing down an old sugar plantation stream or drive up to Hanalei to see where Puff frolicked! On the way there, check out the lighthouse and the boobies who nest on the cliffs. And probably the most famous, drive to the incredible Waimea Canyon for some jaw-dropping views. Enjoy!

    We came here with 4 families and it was amazing! We had two 2-bedroom units that we ocean facing and next to each other- lots of space! We cooked fabulous dinners at their bbq stations by the pool. We spent time at the ocean, centrally located to so many places. We will definitely be returning!

    The resort is located on the ocean where Sea Turtles come to feed at the Lava Rock tide pools daily. 2 beautiful sand beaches, Shipwreck Cove and Poipu Beach, are within easy walking distance. There is a large lagoon type family-friendly pool with excellent snack bar. Beautiful sunny weather on the south side of the island. The concierge staff are fabulous and lots of wonderful shops and restaurants are nearby. Easy drive to Lihue, Kapa'a and Weimea. Easy day trip to Princeville.

    The Point at Poipu is a beautiful, graceful resort in a natural setting, abundant with koi ponds, fragrant flowers and lush tropical foliage.

    The swimming pool is surrounded by a sandy beach with a spa pool adjacent to it. An outdoor restaurant with bar is located right next to it.

    The resort is your home away from home in paradise.

    My wife and I have been coming to the Point at Poipu since 2005. Located on the sunny South Shore of the Island, we've long enjoyed the peaceful respite offered us by the Point at Poipu. The staff have always been friendly professionals, and accommodating to our needs. The units are quiet and spacious with well equipped kitchens. All units have Lanais with some having larger wrap around Lanais. There is a large community pool with food and drink service. There is good food and shopping all around, with plenty of sights to see such as Waimea Canyon, and businesses to visit like Kauai Coffee company. The closest beach access is at Shipwreck Beach barely a five minute walk, and Poipu beach itself is a five minute drive. Whether you want to just unwind and do nothing, or go out and explore, there is something for everyone to be found here.

    We rented a timeshare at the Embassy at Poipu Pointe in Kauai on Pe'e Road. Its name is soon to change to Poipu Pointe (no longer Embassy). The rooms were lovely: granite countertops in the kitchen, tastefully decorated, and spacious enough for our family (three adults and three small children, ages six and under - one in a crib). The pool was the BEST: it has a toddler area which is sectioned off from the main pool with lava rocks. The entire pool has a beach-like graduated entry, and is no more than three-feet deep in the middle. There is an elevated hot tub surrounded by lava rocks which welcomes children, and a separate adults-only spa in another area of the resort with a lovely fountain and nice, powerful jets. The grounds have a gorgeous koi pond which wanders and is highlighted with waterfalls and tropical plants. There is a koi feeding at 8:45 am at which children come to view and feed the fish. There are also waterfalls in the pool. And a volleyball net. There is poolside bar/restaurant service for reasonable prices (a pina colada here is $6.95 vs. the $9.95 you will pay at the Hyatt). They have a breakfast buffet for only $6 per person. The ocean views are breathtaking, and if you walk toward the surf you will see huge seaturtles swimming near the tidepools. You won't be swimming this beach, but Shipwreck beach is a short walk away (still not friendly for small children with its strong undertow, red flags, and surfing-waves). Poipu beach is a short drive away, with a sectioned-off area (via lava rocks) for the toddlers, a play structure, lovely sandy beaches, and a shave ice stand across the street (under Brenneke's Restaurant). The staff here at the resort is responsive: a simple request for an extra dish towel or wine opener was fulfilled within minutes of request. There is no business center or use of a printer, but your PC will allow internet access for $9.95 per day (and there is internet access for a fee in the lobby). The concierge desk is friendly and fast, but book your activities weeks before you arrive. We're glad we booked waterskiing before arrival, because kayak guided tours, ziplining, and ATV tours were all sold out island-wide for weeks in advance. We never heard back from our wait lists (but don't blame the resorts - it's a popular place for adventure!). Fear not: if you haven't booked a group adventure, there is plenty of hiking and beachcombing around the island to keep you busy all week. Any tourbook will show you trail maps and lookout points. We've rented at three different condos/timeshares over the last nine years, and this is our hands-down favorite. We've also visited family at one other rental. All of them are nice and priced fairly for what you get, but this one really knocked our socks off. We had a wonderful vacation and plan to stay again, and will certainly recommend it.

    We have owned this for some time and up to now have used it annually. It is a very nice propert with wonderful water falls going down to the poil. We love the location, views, and amenities. There is a paved path to the Hyatt and the cliffs. We see sea turtles almost every evening. Great fresh water pool with sand entry.

    Beautiful place. Parking lot is small, so short walks to your room. The view is great and is real close to the shore. There is a hiking path close by along the coast that takes you north to other nearby to resorts, beaches and views. Short drive for outside needs, like groceries, golf courses, beaches and shops. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable, the walls are thick for peace and quiet, and the kitchen comes in handy when returning to the room with fantastic, local cuisine.

    This is an Ocean View unit and in an an excellent location on the property. There are no structures or other units between you and the ocean. I have stayed in this unit and it is a quiet corner unit on the second floor. It has two full bedrooms and two full baths with a complete kitchen and washer/dryer unit. The grounds are lovely with an adult pool as well as a lagoon pool both with hot tubs. Various activities are available including a fun water aerobics class.

    The Point at Poipu is one of the most sought-after resorts in Kauai due to its beachfront location, spacious 2BR layouts, and reliable Ocean View inventory. Beautiful property and so close to Poipu Beach for swimming, and snorkeling.

    The Point at Poipu is in an amazing location, tucked next to Shipwreck Beach and the 5 star Grand Hyatt Kauai. Just a mile down the street from the world famous Poipu Beach. We've been coming to Kauai for 30 years the Point is one of the best values around, especially with an oceanfront room!

    Amazing Stay at the The Point at Poipu!!

    The two bedroom suite was everything we hoped for, spacious, clean, and perfectly set up for a relaxing island escape. We loved walking up to the ocean breeze and enjoying coffee on the balcony each morning. The resort is quiet, beautifully maintained, and right by the water. The pool area is INCREDIBLE, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable.

    If you're visiting Kauai and want a mix of comfort, ocean views, and true Hawaiian relaxation, this is the place!! Highly Recommend!

    We love The Point at Poipu! The location is perfect with the island's best weather. It is walking distance to The Hyatt and Shipwreck Beach. You can walk right along the beach or down the path - catch the sunrise AT the beach!

    The staff is so nice and helpful.

    The rooms are very spacious and so are the bathrooms. I love the full kitchen and washer and dryer in the unit.

    The rooms and entire property are kept very clean and the landscaping is beautiful. You are surrounded by gorgeous flowers and palm trees.

    The pool is large and has a hot tub. There are also other hot tubs spread across the property.

    There are grills in case you want to cook.

    If you get an ocean view or partial ocean view - it's stunning, especially at sunrise. You will get amazing sunrise photos.

    This location is a short drive away from restaurants and shopping centers.
