We visit Lawai Beach Resort about once a year. It is our favorite place to stay on the island because it doesn't feel overly "touristy" yet it has all the amenities you'd need. Each condo has been remodeled with updated furniture (but staying true to the Aloha style), granite countertops and tile/carpet flooring. The resort has 3 pools, though we... More

This was my second time at LBR (the first was about 15 years ago). So, I knew what I was trading my San Diego timeshare for. The rooms are very spacious (more or less, depending on what floor plan you get). I was kind of disappointed that I didn't get the floor plan that had the master bedroom facing the... More

This is the second time we have exchanged our NYC Timeshare for this property in Poipu, Kauai. It is a terrific location with the ocean right across the street and The Beach House Resturant 100 yds away for great food and spectacular views of Hawaiian sunsets while sipping tropical libations. The resort has been undergoing a refurbishment and our unit... More

The location is beautiful but be prepared to be placed in the smallest unit with the least view if you trade into this resort. We asked for a room with some view 8 months head of time, and they did switch is to another one with a little view, but only a double bed and no washer. We could not... More

I had owned at LBR for a few years, but this was my first time visiting. We had a one bedroom in the Banyan & found it to be clean & comfortable. The bedroom faced the back of the unit & I could hear noise from the parking lot & people coming & going. My daughter got the better part... More

If your Hawaii vacation demands the most modern units, every imaginable amenity and on-call staff catering to every whim, then Lawai Beach Resort will probably not satisfy you. Then again, it is quite unreasonable to expect all that in a Hawaii Resort for the cost of Lawai Beach located in sunnier south Kauai. The resort is located across from the... More

We stayed at LBR the first week of February. We loved every minute. There are lots of restaurants nearby, lots of hikes,good shopping etc. The room itself was great. We stayed in the Coral building (the oldest) and were more than happy. Kitchen, bathroom etc. were in great shape. The pool in front of the condo was "warm" and that... More

Great location right across from the beach. Every morning we could walk down to the beach to enjoy the view. The 2 bedroom condo was small with only 1 bathroom. We were charged for a pack n play for our 14 month old that we were not informed of in the beginning. Could hear a lot of voices from the... More

We visited the Lawai Beach Resort seven years ago and when friends invited us to a second visit we jumped at the chance. We are not owners and neither are our friends. I read the "poor" reviews and could not believe we stayed at the same place. Our two bedroom condo had been beautifully re-furnished since our last visit and... More

Great location across from Lawai Beach for snorkeling or laying out in the sun. We saw humpback whales in the distance out at sea. The room seemed newly remodeled. They had a great gym with new equipment, a pool table, foosball table and a basic (but fun) miniature golf course. There are lots of gas BBQs near pools and in... More
