* Seven swimming pools are located at Poipu Kai Resort, however, guests may use only the Poipu Kai Racquet Club swimming pool plus any swimming pool located at their specifically assigned accommodation. All condo clusters within Poipu Kai Resort have their own pools while individual homes (usually 3 and 4 bedroom accommodations) do not contain pools. Accordingly, guests accommodated in individual homes may only use the main resort swimming pool at the Poipu Kai Racquet Club.
| Our Kauai vacation rentals and packages are highly recommended by travelers. Over 50% of guests are returning visitors or friends they refer, indicating an astounding level of satisfaction. See what previous guests have to say about Kauai and our vacation rental resort hotels. | |
| * | The abundant and cooling trade winds at Poipu Beach and built in cross ventilation make air conditioning virtually unnecessary. NOTE: All Suite Paradise accommodations have cross ventilation and ceiling fans in sleeping and living rooms. |
| ** | Most accommodations on Kauai are not air conditioned because of the cooling trade winds. A few larger Poipu Kai Resort and Nihi Kai Villas condos and homes have air conditioning and the rates may vary from published rates. If you must have air conditioning please contact us prior to making a reservation. |
