We had stayed in Kauai on the north shore previously but had wanted something closer to the canyon and all of the south shore restaurants and shops. The Lodge at Kukui’ula was recommended by a travel group I’m on and I am so thrilled we tried it! First of all, our bungalow was perfect for the two of us and truly felt like our home for five days (with a full kitchen and washer/dryer because we are the crazy people who love doing laundry daily on vacation!). We loved being able to just go with the flow of our days - never worrying about whether we could get to breakfast right away because there was always food and space, not needing to use the fitness center at the crack of dawn because it never felt busy, and of course loved that we could hang at the pool whenever we wanted with plenty of chair options. If you want pool and housekeeping service every second of the day like some of the bigger hotels, this isn’t the place for you, but if you want a friendly, relaxed, still luxurious experience that feels like home, don’t hesitate to book it!

The Lodge is impeccable... gorgeous grounds, lovely view of Poipu and Spouting Horn, and 5-star ammenities and cottages/homes. I had a fantastic massage at the spa. This is the perfect spot for a family vacation, especially if you want a kitchen and gathering spaces.
