I visited this resort, and was horrified to find that we couldn't use the beach at all. There were lava rocks all over the beach bottom. Also, the surf is pretty strong, so you would be lifted up, only to land on the many sharp rocks(some very large!). We loved the resort itself, but had to spend all our time trying to find a good beach ...

Good Value
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/14/07
We stayed in building 17 and rented from an owner, really good value and the location was perfect. We did not have an ocean view because that was out of our price range, the beach was a very short walk away and the pool was too. This unit had been upgraded and we had no complaints at all, great experience. We ate out every night and really saved ...

This was paradise. Amazing beach, incredible service and extremely quiet. The only bad part was we went in August and they don't have A/C. It was very hard to sleep! If you want to unwind from reality - this is the place!!

a bit disappointed
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/19/07
We stayed in a two bedroom condo. We asked for a partial seaview and got that, BUT, the seaview was over the public parking lot of the beach. Too many condos here, especially at the Outrigger area on the west side of the development, have views of parking lots. At reception I overheard a honeymoon couple, who was checking out, complain bitterly ...

want to go back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/08/07
i really liked the location. loved the beach that is close by. the rooms were wonderful. i like the freedom of being able to cook in my own room or to bbq out side, and not have to eat out all the time. we were there for two weeks and if the chance to go back comes we'll probably stay four weeks.

Kiahuna Plantation Resort
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/05/07
We just returned from a stay at Kiahuna. We rented a gorgeous unit (Kiahuna 52) directly from the owners. The unit has beadboard walls, tile floors, very nice furniture, and was decorated with a Hawaiian / New England style touch. Very nice unit!!!
One of our favorite parts of Kiahuna was the fantastic beach. We have done a lot of ...

A special place for couples.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/15/06
Garden type setting on the beach. Make sure you check to see when the unit you are renting was remodel and what the interior condition is. Ocean view makes this a special trip; however, garden view units are less costly. Birds galore and the sunsets are out of this world.
This is the first time we went to Kauai. We stayed in unit 312 in Kiahula plantation. This is a large resort with 3 different management companies - castle kiahula, outrigger kiahula and kiahula. The unit we rent is owned by a couple. Have a great tropical garden view at lunai. Decorated nicely. Room is clean. And you can have a slightly ocean view ...

excellent
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/05/06
The grounds were beautiful and the condo was clean, well stocked and comfortable. We will definitely stay there again. There is a laundry facility right on site and an activity center to rent anything you might need for the beach. That should cut down on what you have to pack.
If you can afford ocean view, or ocean front - it is definitely worth the extra money.
