Kauai Beach Villas

First let me say that the resort staff were wonderful. They were very helpful in recommending kid-friendly beaches and other activities for our family. The resort is also in a great, centrally located area to travel to various activities, restaurants and other parts of the island. Other than that, the facility itself (lodging) has seen better days and is shabby and falling into disrepair. Dirty and faded furniture, unpainted spackle on walls, pulls in the carpet etc. The couch was so gross that I didn’t want to sit on it. The diverter in one of the showers didn’t work and it was near impossible to take a shower with all the water coming out the tub faucet and flowing down the drain. The other bathroom had a shower repair with the wrong parts and the knobs were tricky, causing either scalding hot water or freezing cold water. The beach at the resort is not for swimming and the waters are treacherous. There is trash all over the beach, so it’s not even good to really walk it as you’re dodging trash. There is some construction going on at the resort and that is contributing to the trash— unforgivable on such a beautiful island. That said, there are good swimming beaches nearby and an excellent beach (Lydgate Beach) for the kiddos only about 3 miles away. The pool at the resort is very small — much too small for a resort of this size. However, there is some sort of cooperative agreement in place with the neighboring resort (a very short walk next door) that allows Beach Villa resort guests to use the neighboring resort pools. They are beautiful and well kept up. All of the Beach Villas guests used the neighboring resort pools and that pretty much saved us. In short, unless you’re just looking for a place to flop, I wouldn’t recommend this resort.

The property is in need of a total renovation. It is old and dated and feels like the servant quarters of the resort on the other side of the water feature. At check-in we were given a rubber wristband that had no functionality and were not informed until over and hour later that we needed to go see the concierge at another property, four miles away. The room was clean, at surface level, but we spilled a little bit of water on the floor and the paper towel used to wipe up the spill became black from the floor. The machine machine, dishwasher, and ice maker were all very loud and the shower squealed. Every time the upstairs unit open the door to the lanai, it sounded like they were dragging the whole bed across the floor. The pool was very small and there was no available gym. We were allowed to use the pools at the accompanying resort, but not their gym. Really?! The only redeeming quality was the short walk to the beach, but even that wasn't great. The beach is very short and full of debris, and can't swim there, and the wind and water were driving into your face no matter where you stood on the beach. If this were my first Wyndham experience, I would never want anything to do with the company again. Unless you're just looking for a crash pad, I would stay away.

If you like to be on the go and explore this is perfect base camp. If not, this might not meet your expectations. The pools are nice but not over the top. The beach is beautiful but not for chilling or swimming. The units are well appointed but ours was outdated. Like NO SMART TV! And at night you just want to unwind for a bit before bed with NO commercials lol. But again the perfect mid point to bounce back and forth to everything and staff are wonderful

Our stay was lovely, the grounds are really well kept, the access to Outrigger pools and restaurants is a bonus. The unit was spacious and well laid out with all the required amenities, although slightly dated and the rugs are really dirty. The staff was great and helpful with suggestions. Beware the roosters wake you up anywhere between 3 - 6 am. You will need a rental car to go anywhere,

YUCK! Do not stay here!! This place needs to be torn down and rebuilt. The property is not maintained well. Rusty, paint peeling, damp, dirty, and the smell! OMG you walk in and the musty, mildew, dead animal in the wall smell is awful. Tried to air it out by opening slider and windows, it didn’t help. AC also gives off a smell like they have never changed the filters. Tiny pool. The nicest thing I can say is that it is a good location and the staff were nice. Rating ZERO! Really, I got home and got sick, probably because of breathing moldy air for a week. Wyndham should be ashamed of this property, it is not worthy of a silver crown.
