Kauai, Hawaii

Virgin rating

The hotel

Rooms at the Sheraton are nestled amid 20 acres of lush gardens, and you can upgrade for stunning views of Poipu Beach on Kauai's sunny South Shore. Take in stunning natural views all over the resort, from the fitness centre overlooking the ocean to the garden terrace and the restaurants offering panoramic views of the beach. RumFire Poipu Beach allows you to enjoy amazing sunset views over dinner, whilst Lava’s on Poipu Beach is the place for early risers to experience beautiful sunrises. The ambience of the restaurants is as important as the food itself, which includes Pacific Rim and regional American — and incorporates the freshest island ingredients with global influences.

We really enjoyed timeshare lodgings here. The staff were very nice, and nearby beach, restaurant and outdoor play options we awesome. We really enjoyed this spot as base for south side Kauai exploring. The pool areas weren't huge and were busy early but we spent more time on the very nice nearby beaches.

We could not bear to stay here for more than 1 night. Everyone that worked at the resort were very nice. But, for $400+ a night, you're getting Hampton Inn quality, or a 2 star hotel. The property is dated, it needs a major upgrade. The food at the Lava restaurant by the pool was not good at all. The fish tacos were dry, and it's hard to mess up… Read more

I wouldn't recommend it either. Read less

The Resort fees were $40/day for 7 days. We used none of what was “offered” and still had to pay $280 plus taxes. It’s Ridiculous that this is not optional or refundable. Otherwise, the Resort was beautiful and staff was pleasant except for checkout when I found out about the exorbitant extra fees.

Arrived to check in for a 4 night stay at this “4 star” resort. No bell man met us to help with luggage. Our room was a supposed upgrade luxury king ocean view room. It was more like a motel 6, with a single sink vanity bathroom with plastic shower curtain. We were told all luxury king rooms were ground level, and this room had sliding glass doors that opened to a public grass area with the public beach and ocean beyond, leaving zero privacy unless doors a closed and locked and curtains drawn. We were appalled. We immediately checked out, but not before having a 30 minute argument because even tho we weren’t staying they wanted to charge us for one night. We’d just come from another 4 star Marriott property on a different Hawaiian island and there simply was no comparison. Very disappointing and disturbing. I guess Sheraton properties leave much to be desired. Read less
