We recently once again stayed at KBC and love Kauai and the resort...in particular the Oceanfront villas.
Kauai is our favorite Hawaiian island and it is the lush tropical paradise of most people's dreams. I can't recommend it highly enough. KBC sits on Nawiliwili Bay with a nice beach and calmer waters than most of Kauai. The pool is enormous with five large hot tubs so we've never had it feel crowded.
The 1BR OF villa itself is comprised of a connecting parlor and studio. The parlor is basically a living room with a queen wall bed, shower, and real kitchenette with refrigerator/freezer, sink, microwave, dishwasher, silverware, dishes and glasses. The studio is basically a hotel room with a nice bed, tub/shower, bar sink/coffee maker/tea service and mini-fridge. The Oceanfront villas look directly out over Nawiliwili Bay and we usually leave the sliding doors open to hear the waves.
One of the great things about KBC is that there are many good to great restaurants within walking distance at the resort and along Rice St and an extraordinary one at the resort next door - Hualani's. And a short drive away are the restaurants of Kauai's 'Big City', Lihue, including the incomparable Hamura Saimin. Another is that there is a lot to do nearby - the paths on and around Nounou (aka Sleeping Giant), various water activities on the Wailua River, and biking/walking/swimming along the Ke Ala Hele Makalae (aka the Kapaa Bike Path). And lastly, KBC's central location in Lihue means that neither the sights of the North Shore (e.g. Kilauea NWR, Hanalei, Haʻena State Park) nor South Shore (e.g. Poipu, Hanapepe, Waimea Canyon) are that far away.
