Kauai Beach Villas

This resort has never let us down. We've own this timeshare since 1997. Our stays has always been very pleasing. We always get back relaxed and refreshed from our vacation and stay here in the Kauai Beach Villas. The people are all so nice and friendly. The units we've stayed in are clean and quiet. So far, we could not think of a reason why anybody would not want to stay here instead of a hotel. Very close to the beach. We can hear the waves during day and night. The location is close to everything. The airport is close by but we do not hear one sign of a plane passing by. I think the island took care of that by re-routing all commercial planes directly to the ocean so as to keep the island as quiet and serene as possible. Kauai is the best island in Hawaii that we have visited.

Absolutely loved it!!! Our unit overlooked the lush grounds and condo pool, the kids LOVED all the swans & geese - they fed them every morning-what great photos I have & memories. The unit exceeded our expectations, very up to date with wonderful atmosphere! At night, the kids played with other children on the grounds & chased toads all around - too much fun. We liked the fact that we had the best of both worlds, the condo pool which was not as fancy & very low key, then the Radisson pool which was more resort-like. I've received a letter from Pahio stating that we will be able to use the pool at the Radisson until the new pool at the villas are complete, it was written in our January 2008 newsletter. The location is wonderful too, pretty much smack dab in the middle of the island, which makes excursion and exploring much more convenient! We purchased this unit sight unseen and are so glad we did! The staff were also incredible! Our TV stopped working and within an hour or so, we had a brand new TV setup & everything, we also requested a DVD player since we brought along some movies for the kids - not a problem for Pahio! The service was A+++!

We own two 1 bedroom units here and used them for the first time in summer of 2007 - soon after Wyndham Resorts took over the operation of Pahio. The AC unit did not work when we arrived and it was replaced with-in an hour. Our ground floor C unit allowed us to walk directly to the BBQ's and pool. The pool is not the best, but it is nice. We preferred the pool at Bali Hi (which as an owner or guest all Pahio pools can be used). Prior remarks indicate use of the Raddisson which is no longer the case and it is no longer a Raddisson.

We stayed here Nov 2007 in a 2 bedroom unit on the first floor of the "B" building. The inside of the unit was great. It looked like it has been recently remodeled. Well stocked kitchen, large SONY flat screen TV in the living room, comfortable king size bed in the master bedroom, and lots of space. Good thing about the "B" building is that you are near the pool, tennis courts, office, and fast access to the highway. I have two complaints, however. First, our view was the back of the pool house. Second, no trade winds get back to the 1st floor of "B" building causing the living room and dining room to be HOT as there is no air conditioning except in the bedrooms. We solved the problem by cranking up the A/C in both bedrooms and keeping all the curtains shut. Since we didn't have much of a view it didn't matter that the curtains were shut. We didn't come to Kauai to stay in the unit all day anyway. We were out every day exploring and it was nice to come back to this unit when it was cooled off. This is a great central location if you want to visit the whole island. The hotel next door is now a Hilton. While you can't use their pool anymore, it is an easy walk for a good restaurant. If you go here and want a view and some trade winds, stay away from buildings A, B, and C.

We have stayed at this resort twice, and both were great! The view, proximity to shopping, and resort staff are all excellent. The timeshare presentation was non-pressure, and well worth the benefits offered.

Our next trip in March is for one week here and one week at the Shearwater in Princeville.
