Wyndham Kaua’i Beach Villas

We are Worldmark owners, and this was a trip we booked through RCI Exchange. We got a 2 bedroom unit for a week and shared the unit with another couple.
PROS: the unit was a good size for a group of 4 adults. It claims to fit 6 people, but that would’ve been tight. The couch in the living room area folds out to accommodate the 5^th and 6^th guests if needed. Also, the location of the unit was great! It’s on the east side of the island so it makes for a great spot to drive north to Princeville/​Hanalei, or south to Poipu/​Hanapepe. Most of the activities we booked ahead of time were within 10 min of the property. Also, we had a red eye flight and were able to reserve their hospitality unit for an hour to shower and change before heading to a late dinner and the airport.
CONS: this is a tired and worn unit. It appears that Wyndham has spent barely any money in renovations since acquiring it from Pahio. Minor upgrades would make a huge difference, such as new doorknobs, sinks, and faucets. Our hot water ran out in only 5 min on the first night, but it was resolved after a call to the front desk. Also, when I booked people were stating that we could use the adjoining resort’s pools for free… this is no longer the case. It costs $ 20 for up to 4 people to use the resort’s pools… they give wristbands and check religiously. They don’t prorate if you have fewer than 4 people. But we paid two different days because the pool at the villas is just plain sad. So tiny! The multiple pools at the resort were beautiful. Wyndham should look into upgrading its pool facility as well.
Overall, it was a fine place to sleep during our wonderful trip to Kauai. But it is not a fancy, luxurious unit. Hopefully Wyndham spends some money to upgrade things here, because it could be great.

To Start with we are Wyndham timeshare owners. We understand that Wyndham has 105 units here and the other 40 are privately owned that you can rent. We stayed in a Wyndham managed unit.
This property is very close to the Lihue Airport, but gets no noise from it. Easy to get to an and a great jumping off point for West and North sides of the island. Guests have access to the pool at the resort next to it. That resort also has a bar and restaurant.
We stayed in building F on the bottom floor in a two-​bedroom unit with a great view of the beach from the lanai. The unit was clean. One bedroom had 2 full size beds and the master bedroom had a king size bed and bath. Full size kitchen (need to upgrade the stove) and a roomy living room. Our unit had air conditioning in the bedrooms. Ours was really loud so we turned it off and used the ceiling fan at night when sleeping. The unit décor was dated could use some remodeling.
There is a Costco, Walmart, and Vons about a 5−10min drive from the resort. There is also Taco Bell and Burger King (cheap eats). About 10min up the road to Kapaa, there are plenty of restaurants and bars to eat at as well as a food saver store.
Pros: BBQs, Fantastic beach views. Access to Kauai Beach Resort pool (they also have a bar and restaurant). Movie and game to check out. Centrally located to jump off on adventures to North shore or west side of island. About 5 min drive from the airport (no airport noise) Friendly and helpful staff with good knowledge of area and times to get to attractions in different parts of the island.
Cons: 70s style rooms need updating. Homeless people living on beach across from resort.
TIP: if you are going to do things like Princeville Ranch Adventures, a helicopter tour, or tour the Napali Coast… as soon as you arrive in Lihue and leave the airport, head to COSTCO and look for the gift card kiosk over by the pharmacy. there are great deals on these activities. Plus a good place to buy food.
Room Tip: Building G and H has the best views of ocean Building F has some good views also.

When we first drove up we accidentally drove up to Kauai Beach Resort Hotel, dont make this mistake because when we walked up to the front desk, handed her my reservation papers she gave me a stinky eye face and said you are staying down there.
So we drive back to the Wyndham which is located to the side of this beautiful Hotel, reminded me of the maids living area. As we went to check in the front desk which a one room about 8×15 waiting area that is split to accommodate the 3 concierges and 2 of us, to close for comfort. The women were nice during the first day we arrived but after we booked our trips we were pretty much on our own.
I have stayed at the Wyndham in Bali Hai, it has all the upgrades this resort does not.
We stayed in building D and was shocked when tried to use my ice maker key/​card to open the door and discovered we need a «real key». The problem with real keys are security issues (really Wyndham buy new doors)
So at this point we are feeling disappointed but to make matters worse was the room. The impression of the room is a motel 6 with an electric stove. Not anything close to the Wyndham in Bali Hai but the one thing this location had was an air conditioner. Ok so it is located in the bedroom and one of those that stick out the window but it worked.
Bali Hai Wyndham has no air conditioner beware !!
Anyways as said previously the concierges are really no help after the first day, asked if there was a gym, the answer no but to ask the Kauai Beach Resort to use the gym there which cost a fee, which she did not know how much it was. (ok maybe she was new) we asked if we could get clean beach towels, answer no. We asked if we could get a packed of coffee, answer no. Asked if they happen to have a courtesy razor, answer no by this time they are getting super rude with attitude.
A plus about staying in this location is that we were able to use Kauai Beach Resorts pool, highly suggest to use it too, it is beautiful with waterfalls, also the Resort has a bar with live music every night.
All in all, we were able to sleep in a nice cool room, had clean sheets, ice maker access, ice chest, old tennis courts, free Wi-​Fi, 1 beach chair (that is all they had left) complimentary popcorn, 2 packs of coffee and laundry detergent. And enjoyed Kauai Beaches.

The people that work here are as wonderful as all the locals that live here in Kauai! Yes they tried to get us to a timeshare presentation but laid off when they knew it wasn’t gonna happen. The rooms were wonderful and the access to the Kauai beach resort pools was an added bonus! A wonderful place to stay for my new wife’s and my honeymoon

So, I’ve owned here for over 10 years. First bought it when owned and operated by Pahio, and of course back then it was a Gold Crown Resort through RCI. Kauai is like a second home to our family and when we used our TS, it had always been an excellent stay. However since Wyndham bought them out, it seems to me that they really were focusing on the Bali Hai in Princeville.
For all the times we came over, the concierge staff would obviously push the TS spiel for discounted trips, prizes, etc. I get that they have to work at getting guests to the presentation, but owners!!! I don’t think so!!! Been there and done that and really am happy with what I have and the amount we use it.
Anyway the last time on the island, they talked about the new construction phase of the Bali Hai. This trip, it was completed and in order to qualify for discounts, etc, you have to travel to the Bali Hai for the presentation. Like I said, been there and done that and not interested.
I’ve digressed, so back to KBV… stayed in Unit F8, never stayed in that unit before. I’ve always been in building G or H, right in front of the ocean. The unit appeared upgraded, but as a owner, do have some expectations for the amount I am willing to pay in maintenance fees. Simple things like a spatula… needed one, rather than go to the front desk for one, I picked one up at Wal-​Mart for $ 1.00…I hope the next owners/​guests make good use of it!
The main burner on the stove was all messed up, couldn’t decide if it wanted to stay hot or not. The door lock froze, locking us out of the room, luckily the maintenance man responded quickly to let us in and fix the problem. The BBQ’s weren’t working properly earlier on and was finally repaired. The two BBQ’s located ocean front were both out of order and taped off.
The unit still had Pahio dishes, you would think Wyndham would have changed those out by now. Even with all these lil issues, the location is perfect place to be to see all of the island. A big benefit to owning here is how quiet it is in terms of neighbors. Are there ambient noises during the day? Yes, if you choose to stay on the property all day long, but overall it is a nice quiet relaxing place.
I think part of the resort’s issues is the lack of effort being put into the place by Wyndham. Stayed at the Bali Hai one year on a two week trip and honestly would not even want to buy there. Yes it was newer, but it was also noisier (thin walls) and much more crowded. When I come to the island, I want to just relax with as little a crowd as possible.

Had a room in the D Building overlooking the «lagoon». The rooms seemed as it had been updated recently, but one of the AC’s in the first bedroom was very loud and did not keep the room very cold. The other AC until was great and kept the living area very present. I had a two bedroom unit. One of the bathroom is not located in the room and the other bedroom had the bathroom attached to it.
While I was aware of the motocross track behind the resort the noise was minimal and I could not hear anything in the unit with the doors and windows closed. The location is out by itself and thus is very quiet. The cell service is VERY LIMITED in this area and you get a better signal by going to the beach. This is not a swimming beach, but it is an awesome place to watch the sunrise and you can walk on the beach. During high tide you can swim in some places as long as you scout out where the rocks are when the tide is lower.
The check in process was «interesting» to say the least. You do not check in at the main hotel, but at a little building to the left when you drive in. The girls that checked me in were very friendly and helpful. You then get the timeshare spiel and get to go to your room. This is where it got interesting with the first set of key’s (yes, real keys and not key cards) did not work. So I had to go and exchange them for the correct keys.

Liked the resort don’t like the noise from the track behind the trees. Can’t see it but you hear it all day. We are in villa C but I think you can hear it From all of them.

The staff really exemplifies the aloha spirit. This was our first visit to Kauai and the staff here placed us in a room that was out of Hawaiian dream. Our room staid cool and comfortable throughout our stay. All the appliance were clean and tidy. Overall a great place location wise for every adventure. Loved this place and it’s staff. Thank you!!!

We loved staying here. We stayed 4 nights/​5 days. Granted, the rooms weren’t brand new or anything but then again, that’s kind of how Kauai is! It was comfortable and laid back! It’s like renting a home, or staying with a friend. There’s no room or maid service. It’s a condo, not a hotel. We stayed in the B building and although we didn’t have a view of the beach, it was a quick 2 minute walk and there we were! We walked to the hotel a few times and hung out at their pools and drank and the bar there and messed around on the slide too. Just a really laid back experience. The girls in the office booked us a few fun things to do (Luau, Na Pali coast tour & snorkeling) and were always quick to answer any questions. Everyone was SO nice. If you’re looking for luxury, this isn’t the place. If you’re looking for functional, normal, cozy, nice, warm, and more ‘at home’ feeling, then this IS the place for you. We would DEFINITELY stay here again.

This is our home timeshare and we always feel at home. Staff are so hospitable and helpful. The condo is equipped perfectly. The location is perfect for going either direction around the island and an easy trip back to the airport. We have had the pool to ourselves many times during the week.

Oh how I wish I hadn’t bought this timeshare. The maintenance fees are quite high, but that’s not the worst of it. Reaching a person who can assist with payments is like finding a needle in a haystack. Accessing the online payment system to pay the bill, well, that’s just impossible. The billing system doesn’t provide payment information and the online option requires it to make a payment. And then, you go on a wild ride trying to find someone who can look at your account and help. Best yet, then you get sent to collections only to be told, you’re the only one who has problems.
Really?
Oh how I wish I could sell this TS.
What a headache.

Avoid this place — feels like a motel 6. No direct swimmable beach access. Poorly managed, room wasn’t ready by check in time and the room we were pushed to had an unbearable funky mold smell. Avoid the sales presentation unless you want to give up 5 hours of your vacation. It’s just not worth it — trust me.

Thank goodness my stay didn’t cost me anything except seven sleepless nights.
I was invited to stay in the D building. When we drove up to the facility, I had no idea it was a nightmare in the making. The unit was one bedroom with a sleeper sofa in the living area.
The sleeper sofa needs to be hauled to the dump. Words can’t describe how lumpy and uncomfortable it was. Complained to the office and received a yellowed 1.5 inch egg crate foam mattress topper. No, that didn’t do anything for the sofa bed except make it impossible to close up during the daytime.
The window air conditioner was reminiscent of Motel Six a la 1970’s. In order to cool the lumpy sofa bed area, the temperature had to be set on 60 °F with the windows and bathroom door closed. Enough about that.
The beach was pretty, but not for swimming.
The kitchen was well stocked with essential cooking utensils… but who wants to cook and heat up the area?
The roosters were friendly and welcomed the dawn. every day.
The one star in this rating goes to the staff for helping with reservations. They were informed and enthusiastic.
No, I decided I would not be attending the sales presentation in Princeton. Once was enough for a Wyndham property.

It was a beautiful facility. Their pools were absolutely exquisite with waterfalls and rock floored hot tubs. I loved the private beach that the facility brushed against! Great times for all!

The Villas are just fine. Great beach access. Roomy and well appointed condos. Nice decks overlooking the ocean or lagoon. A little weathered but you’re not buying the place (unless you want to via a timeshare).
East coast location is centrally located for easy access to the North or South, and the neighboring town of Kapaa has most everything you might need.
Right, the beach is not safe for swimming but beautiful and long for beachcombing .
Adjacent resort is the savior to shoddy or nonexistent services onsite, where the very nice pool and restaurants are convenient and open to your use. BBQ grills are also interspersed throughout the villas and are clean and well maintained.
Not certain about the common ownership of the resort and villas. We charged breakfast at the resort to our villa and were summoned back to pay by cash or credit card.
You will enjoy the Kauai Beach Villas, I’m sure.

I was a little worried by the reviews here but am pleasantly surprised. The best of both worlds. Very nice timeshare condo with the amenities of a full service hotel. Our condo is spacious, clean and well appointed. The pool here is tiny but with a short walk you can be at the hotel pools that have a water slide, zero depth kiddie pool, volleyball pool, 2 hot tubs and even better — pool side bar/​food service! We’ve loved the fact that we don’t have to leave the property to eat out. The pool food isn’t fast but it’s very good — try the grilled fish wrap. We’ve eaten at both the shutters bar and the restaurant (naupaka?) Seafood linguini very good. Prices very affordable for a hotel. Great kids menu. Everything very kid friendly. Except the beach! No swimming. The hotels concierge is more helpful than the timeshare folks. For some reason it’s an us vs. them relationship. Now that Wyndham owns both hotel and villas hopefully that changes. Timeshare folks not up to Wyndham standards. The presentation at the old run-​down tennis courts was just embarassing for them. I suggest moving it to the hotel pool area. Much better overall presentation and will get the hotel guests asking about timeshare! Hotel also had a spa and shopping! I would definitely recommend this resort right in between Poipu and Princeville so great location for seeing both side of the island.

The location is great, and the unit itself is pretty nice. However, the spa is tepid, wi-​fi is spotty, and where they put us overlooks a parking lot. Since we booked over eight months ago, we are very disappointed that we didn’t get a better room. All that being said, we are very appreciative of being gifted the week here. This trip would have been impossible otherwise.

We have travelled to Kauai for over 20 years and generally stay at a lovely place in Kapa’a. This was our first visit to this «resort» using time share points.
This is a lovely property — the rooms are nice and spacious, well stocked when you get here, nicely decorated. There is a washer and dryer in the unit which is a big plus. And they give you free WiFi which is great considering cell reception is sporadic on the island if you are using broadband.
That being said, it’s noisy — as I write this I have been listening to the power hedge trimmer for about 30 minutes, the lawnmower nearby and I’m sure the leaf blower will follow. There is also a dirt bike track right next door that they fail to mention. It operates all day Saturday, Sunday and holidays and is VERY noisy. Its operated by the county, so complaining won’t help. Also, there is a trash pickup at 4:30 AM on Thursday mornings and if you’re in the wrong building, it’s like it’s coming through your bedroom.
The maid service is almost non-​existent and inconsistent when you get it. They are supposed to do a light cleaning on Tuesdays but one Tuesday they bagged the trash and just left it in the bathroom and they forgot to finish making the beds. The second Tuesday they didn’t come at all. Even when they did the big cleaning, it seems they get distracted and just don’t finish the job. They don’t replenish the coffee or tea when they come, but you do have a coffee pot and grinder which is nice.
We also cannot find any place for our recycling and they just said to keep it in the kitchen and they’d take it. Well it piles up quickly and on the first Tuesday they did not take it, we had to leave a note for the Saturday cleaning. I have no idea if it actually made it to recycling or not.
In all fairness, they are pretty responsive when you do call and have to get something taken care of. If you need towels or something doesn’t work, they are pretty prompt in responding to you.
While the grounds are beautiful and the rooms are spacious and clean, I think you can get a lot more for your money at a lot of other places on the island. Kauai has a lot to offer and I’d hate for a first time visitor to this little bit of paradise to have this be the experience. I would encourage you to look elsewhere until they get this facility up to Wyndham standards.

We stayed here as part of my timeshare. We had a 1 bedroom with 2 bathrooms which was nice because it cut the time on getting ready for 2 people, there was also a lanai (balcony) with a table and chairs which was nice.
However, I was still quite disappointed.
We had an ocean view but then there was a tractor right there in the middle of our view. Then theres roosters everywhere — I would like to sleep a little pass 5am please.
The kitchen was stocked with everything from silverware, glassware, to bakingware. Living room and dining room were spacious. Bedroom was very spacious as well and the bathrooms were a good size.
Oh, there was also a washer and dryer.
The room itself was good with island décor.
The grounds were ok.
It’s the service that was lacking.
Maid service was almost non-​existent. None of our coffee or tea were refilled automatically, I had to call for it each day which shouldn’t be the case. Towels and the bed weren’t changed for days and I finally had to call after the 3^rd day.
The concierge was very nice until we told her that we really didn’t have time to go to another timeshare viewing since we were only on island for 5 days not the full week even though I used my points for a weeks stay.
All in all, I loved Kauai but not this Villa. I would try another place next time, but this trip was so last minute that I took whatever was available.

We traded through RCI into this property. We had a 2 bedroom, 2 full bath unit. Condo was large, it was nice in that the layout gave us 2 large master suites (although 2 full sized beds in smaller room), with 1 bath just outside the room, the 2 bedrooms were totally seperated from each. The arrangement worked well for 2 couples. Beds were not comfortable.
There was a fully stocked kitchen, nice dinning area, stacked washer/​dryer, ironing board & iron. Each bathroom had a hairdryer & were quite large with each having a vanity.
Living/​dining area had windows & 2 sliding doors onto the patio. Sliding doors with seperate decks off each bedroom.
Unit is outdated but fairly clean. Large patio with table & chairs. We were on 3^rd floor overlooking pool with a peek-​a-​boo view of the ocean. Small pool & hot tub but doable. Nice landscaping, with several large gas BBQs that were clean.
Staff was very friendly & helpful. Nice location, property is on the ocean, but not safe for swimming. Enjoyed the welcome breakfast & information talk about what all the island had to offer.
Went to Princeville for supposed to be 1 ½ hr timeshare speal for Wyndam which lasted 3 ½ hrs & closer guy was very pushy. We did not buy needless to say but wanted the activity discounts & $ 50 food coupon.
