Waipouli Beach Resort & Spa Kauai by Outrigger

Kauai, Hawaii

Virgin rating

The hotel

Set along Kauai’s Coconut Coast on two oceanfront acres, this resort offers a choice of well furnished apartments. A beautiful heated river pool meanders through the manicured gardens, with waterfalls, water slides and whirlpools. For an indulgent treat, the oceanfront Spa By The Sea offers a wide range of wellness services, such as massages, body treatments and even a Japanese soaking tub. Oasis on the Beach is just as the name suggests — dine on delicious cuisine, nearly all locally sourced, and sip on tropical cocktails as you gaze out over the gardens and beach. After dinner, there’s a seaside walkway, ideal for a moonlit stroll. If you like to be more active, hire a bicycle and ride along the four-mile Kapaa coastal trail, enjoying spectacular ocean views as you pedal.

This was the best facility we have stayed at on Kauai during our many visits! The staff were friendly, helpful and professional. The grounds, pool and spas were extremely clean. The condo was immaculate and very well situated. We will definitely be staying there again in the future!

Waipouli doesn't care. we liked the resort until we went to try and bbq on the provided ones in the pool area and the bbq exploded on my mom and grandma. the access panel flew off and burned my moms leg along with the flames burning them and my foot along with my grandma as well. the resort security called ems and we were treated but after the security was rude and unsympathetic. they acted like it wasn't a big deal and said that it was on us since we refused medical care which is not true since they were treated on scene. the lack of care from staff was just so unprofessional and we have been trying to talk to someone and just keep getting the run around. We were contacted by Candace the owner and she doesn't seem to think it's that big of a deal either. no one has even tried to make sure we are okay. we have excursions planned and tons of money into this trip which now we won't be able to enjoy tahnks to Waipouli and the carelessness of their staff. would not recommend going.

We adored every minute of our 7 night stay. Shopping and restaurants very close by and equidistance from the North and South shores making it very easy to explore the entire island.

We adored every minute of our 7 night stay. Shopping and restaurants very close by and equidistance from the North and South shores making it very easy to explore the entire island. We booked directly through Outrigger and had a first floor courtyard view room-very spacious, comfortable, great patio. Nice to have the full kitchen and in-room laundry. Beach is non-swimmable but it wasn't an issue and was a great place to watch the sunrise and seal(s) every single morning. Amazing pool and hot tubs. Kiddie pool and slides looked great if you have little ones. We had an issue with our AC and it was taken care of promptly. Excellent staff. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Read less

Excellent place to stay pool and beach are right there. Note this is not a swimming beach but there usually are seals that come on to it to visit. East side of the island so easy access to both N & S

This is our first stay at the Waipouli and we were very happy here. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the location right off a major road and across from a Safeway but once you’re inside it’s like a whole new world. We had a second floor ocean view room which was great. Lovely views of both the ocean and the pool. I loved just sitting on our lanai… Read more
This is our first stay at the Waipouli and we were very happy here. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the location right off a major road and across from a Safeway but once you’re inside it’s like a whole new world. We had a second floor ocean view room which was great. Lovely views of both the ocean and the pool. I loved just sitting on our lanai at night enjoying a glass of wine. It was honestly worth it for us to ensure we had a pool or ocean view otherwise you face the street/Safeway totally taking away from the ambiance. Our unit (D building) was clean and spacious- really nice kitchen and a huge bathroom with shower and jacuzzi tub. Loved having the washer/dryer. It was key for us having a separate bedroom from the kids who happily slept on the very large and comfy sectional couch (didn’t even need to pull out the sleeper part). We all loved the pool and the kids esp liked the water slides and hidden cave in the pool itself. And I liked that we could easily rent chairs (nice Tommy bahama ones), umbrellas and boogie boards right downstairs. A few things to improve on: -pool has comfy loungers but not enough shade umbrellas! -pool isn’t really a lazy river esp since you can only bring in noodles and no floats. We felt it was misrepresented online -we would have loved a more casual / affordable place to eat in the resort itself. Oasis looked great but very pricey esp for kids. Read less
