I just got back from staying a week at the Lawaii Beach Resort and the only thing stopping me from giving it a five is the warm room with no A/C. However, I opened all the windows, air vents, and lanai doors, turned on the ceiling fans, and soon it cooled off enough to be comfortable. The first night was... More

Had a great time here. On south shore near Poipu area. Stayed through RCI timeshare. Had a two bedroom condo. No ac and was a little warm on arrival day, but fine after opened windows. Front desk also gave us oscillating fan for free. Horseshoes, mini golf, several pools on site...all included. Small store in lobby. All staff were extremely... More

This is our first stay here and it is in a terrific location on the sunny side of Kauai. The resort is right across from the beach and a great place to view the sunset. We are staying in The Coral building on the 3rd floor and we have a view of the ocean from our lanai. The unit has... More

We are "new owners" at Lawai Resort and spent our first week in the Banyan building in late August. Before I go further, we also own at the Marriott Waiohai, down the road about .5 miles. Lawai is an outstanding resort. It is not the Marriott. Not better, not worse, just not the Marriott. Every unit in the Banyan building,... More

I would not pay too much attention to the last couple of reviews. If there is one thing I have learned dealing with the public is that regardless of how good an overall experience they get some people will always find some faults that ruin their vacations. Overall, I would rate this as a great place to vacation. The location... More

Our family just returned from a week long vacation in Kauai and we were just heartbroken to leave. Kauai is a a wonderful gem to visit and the Lawai Beach Resort helped to make our vacation all the better. We have two children, so we asked for a unit with a washer & dryer and stayed in a great 1... More

My children and I stayed here this past July 2011. Looking at the picture online didn't seem very appealing but when we got there....I was impressed with the location. The view from our room (we stayed on the 4th floor corner unit) was amazing. The reviews definitely did not do justice. This place was so close to Poipu where there... More

I exchanged into this resort, although I knew in advance that they charge you the $60 no matter if you use the services or not I didn't have time to change to another resort. How do you charge for free internet and you get get online? Several guests were complaining at the front desk about not being able to get... More

The lack of A/C indeed a problem. It was miserable trying to sleep. We stayed in the Banyan building as was suggested and if this was the upgrade I'm scared of the others. The lanai overlooked the pool but it wasn't at all convenient to actually enter the pool area. You cannot get there from the lanai. The bedroom is... More
