Kauai Beach Villas

This resort has some units that overlook the ocean. The 180 degree view of the Pacific is spectacular. In winter you can view whales from your lanai as you eat any of your meals. This past year the hotel next door has agreed to share facilities once again opening three beautiful pools, outdoor and indoor bars and restaurant to timeshare users. There is nightly live entertainment in the hotel. The 2 bedroom 2 bath unit is 1400 sq ft and offers a fully equipped kitchen, an ocean facing dining room and living room and a lanai. It has a washer dryer in the unit and it is located close to golf, shopping and all tourist activity. The beach is quiet and offers the longest walking beach on Kauai.

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.

We returned to KBV in September, 2005 for two weeks. We love this resort and its beach. We stayed in H10, a second floor 2 Bdrm for a week and a 1 bdrm unit, second floor in building F, the second week. Building H squarely faces the ocean and thus is one of our favorite buildings. F fronts the ocean at an angle and still is considered oceanfront and is also a great location. Both had great views and allowed us to hear the ocean at all times (which is important to us though I know not to everyone). The buildings closest to the ocean are G, H, and F. None of the other buildings in KBV offer an oceanview...just lagoon or garden. A few units in F do not face the ocean but are the closest to it after G or H so are still handiest for beach walking. For those with kids, other units are maybe closer to other amenities... We are fond of this place and love the location which is very convenient to the airport, to Lihue and Wailua and Kapaa. We always rent a car so can always find the sun and places to snorkel regardless of the little microclimates (it can be sunny in Poipu and rainy in Lihue and stormy on the north coast etc.

The units are ample and have nearly anything you would need. We normally stock up at the big shopping center (Safeway etc) in Kapaa and rarely have a meal at the adjoining hotel.The units have some wear so inspect upon arrival and report anything that needs repair right away and it is usually taken care of within the same day. We found that the sliding door to the deck was stuck and the ceiling fan wobbled. Aside from such minor things, everything was fine.

Only drawbacks have to do with the adjoining hotel and facilities, often quoted as functioning as amenities for KBV.

The hotel staff despite insisting that only hotel guests (NOT Kauai Beach Villas owners or guests)not use their hottub or pool or weight room. Several photos on Redweek are of the forbidden hotel facilities and hopefully will be removed. KBV plans to build more amenities for their guests and owners recently rescheduled for 2008. KBV has only one small pool now.

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.
