“We return again and again to Kiahuna!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012 via mobile

We have lost track of our visits here...we love Kauai and Kiahuna Plantation has been our destination for several years. The location is perfect...right on Poipu beach. If you have not visited here definitely worth it. Kiahuna Plantation is a large, older complex. The condo buildings are privately owned and can be rentd directly from Castle or Aston. We generally go thru VRBO with good results. The less expensive rentals are toward the back of the property and near the road...but still only a short walk to the beach. We find paying a bit more to be nearer the beach worth it. The units do vary in quality...some with current remodels, others need updating.

PROS...location, location, location. Beautiful beach and grounds. Relaxing

CONS...some older units need updates..only a few with W/D. We had issues with the Activity Hut people regarding our lost umbrellas...promised resolution and never followed thru.

OVERALL...we will return...a great place for family gatherings!

I am sorry 175 was not to your likeing. We will address the issues you pointed out immediately. Very few of our units have washer/dryers, but as you point out, there is an on site laundromat.

Please give me a call when you come back to visit us again, and let me set up your reservation and room assignment personally, and I promise you that you will be very pleased.

“Great peaceful retreat!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Great place, service and beach ! A place to built some good memories! A bit pricey but....generally you get what you pay for.
Kauai is the Island of the "newly wed or nearly dead". It is quiet, lush and very beautiful. It is my favorite for a relaxing, peaceful holiday. If you want a mini L.A. try Oahu. For something in-between choose Maui....Or better even! Try one week (at least) on each!

Room Tip: BLDG 14 Unit 76 FABULOUS!!! BLDG 1 2 30 and 31 are beachfront but considerably more expensive

Stayed here 2/15-2/27 Enjoyed every minute. Castle employees are the best and are always helpful. Our condo was comfortable and the grounds are amazing. It is within walking distance of restaurants and shopping. Lots of areas to walk and outdoor exercise.

“One Amazing Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We came here in January 2012 for our honeymoon and had an all around fantastic stay. We had a garden view paradise room, which, although not oceanside, had a great garden view. The unit was very clean and had a great "homey" comfort to it. The landscaping throughout the plantation is supurb; we really enjoyed the orchid garden and natural moir garden. The beach is beautiful and clean as well. The ocean was a little rough for swimming, but we thought it made it fun. It's a great place to learn to surf, and all of the beachside amenities and rentals are very accessable. As far as location goes, there is a lot going on around this loactaion, It's within walking distance of other beaches (Poipu, Shipwreck...) There are also a couple shopping locations close by with a wide variety of shops and fine dining. The pool is also very beautiful but closes a bit early, (6pm). All in all, we would reccommend this to anyone who wants a beautiful, relaxing place to stay on Kaua'i.

Room Tip: Try not to get a room along the road. Looks like it had potential to be a bit noisier.

I am very pleased that you enjoyed our Garden Paradies category. You are correct that the location is great, and it does not come with that premium price that ocean view and beach front units get. This is a category that Castle features (which Outrigger does not).

Come back and stay with us again soon!
