Poipu Kapili 10 Ocean Front By Suite Paradise

Just nice

Loved our stay here, propert was clean, good location. Great ocean view.

Really liked the location and view of the ocean. This property was advertised as air conditioned which it is not. There is a tiny air conditioner in each bedroom but the one on the ocean side could not cool the room. There is no air conditioning on the main floor. The showers in the bathrooms had no place to put shampoo, etc.

Our family of 4 stayed for 2 weeks. The condo itself was nice, clean, well equipped. The grounds and pool were well maintained. Much of the unit appeared to have been recently updated with new furniture etc. There were only 3 patio chairs, however, available during our stay, making it inconvenient to have meals outside having 4 people in our family. The kitchen is well stocked with modern appliances, pots and pans, espresso maker, Instapot etc. Great for making any meal imaginable. It was quite warm so the portable AC units in the bedrooms struggled to keep up and were very loud all night. The gym location is somewhat misleading, as it is further from the unit than expected, but it was nice as well. Its location is not on site. It is walkable, but a mile away and mostly along a busy street. The swim beach is a 5-7 minute walk and is located in front of the Sheraton. The rest of the waterfront is lava rock, not sand. There is a small public road between the unit’s lanai and the ocean. The sea wall and road attracts local youth to park their trucks and vehicles lining the entire length of the street, both sides, beginning about 5:00 pm and goes beyond dark. They are not well behaved as their stereos were bass bumping, there were fist fights and loud, smoky burnouts that occurred every evening. Forget about having a peaceful dinner out on the lanai. Several nights we had rubber burnout smoke in our living room. We couldn’t simply close up the doors in an attempt to block some noise because it was too hot and there is no central air conditioning. Several visitors called the police with noise complaints (us included) and they did little to resolve the issue. The experience continued our entire stay and required many calls to the police department. There are “no parking” signs along the sea wall and the police LOOSELY enforce it to control the situation. The experience ruined our stay. When we talked to the staff about the issue, the response was, “Well, if you complain and call the police, they will just rebel even more.” This is not the response expected after spending thousands and thousands of dollars to stay. We will never return to any unit in this location. Be aware that this is a known issue with staff and law enforcement and, if you should decide to stay, expect the same experience every evening. Other than that, a nice, clean condo with plenty of room.
