Castle Kauai Kailani — Hotel in Kauai

We stayed here for two weeks. I was nervous, reading the reviews as we had booked the property quickly. After two weeks, my husband and I decided the property was adequate. We didn’t spend a lot of time there and it met our needs. Two bedrooms in full kitchen was nice with two kids.||Previous reviews, talked of a homeless camp, that was no longer there and property felt totally safe.||You cannot swim straight out from the property, but if you walk 10 to 20 feet to the right, you can swim there and it is a beautiful Sandy Beach that extends for miles. All beaches are public, so you could swim anywhere along there, in addition to one of the other amazing beaches on Kauai.||Having two pools was nice, but the pools were freezing! We are used to swimming in Lake Michigan, the pools were almost too cold for my kids. Would have been really nice if they heated them or heated them more. Hard to tell if they were heated at all. This was a huge disappointment for my kids! And honestly also very disappointing for myself. They also didn’t open until nine which was too late for a morning lap swimming.||Property is super old, but the condo was updated as much as possible. Hard to keep things looking new with all the salt water vapor. Whoever designed it did a terrible job because the most beautiful views are a solid wall and staircase. Definitely true about them being very public, you look straight across to condos across from you, so, if lights are on at night, everyone can see in.||We had air-conditioning, which was nice for drying things out because it is so humid, it did not reach to the back room, but the breeze through the window felt nice. Also had a washer and dryer which we could not have lived without.||Carpet in the master and rugs were absolutely disgusting. Would have been nice if it was all hard floors and any rug should be an indoor/outdoor rug. Rugs felt damp and disgusting. I could hardly walk on them without feeling gross.||Sheets were also terrible! Getting in them the first night it felt like they were full of sand because they were so pilled. I had to sleep on top because it felt so terrible. Comforter on the pull out bed it was stained and ripped. I went across the street to Ross to buy a brand new pair of cheap sheets for the master bed and we flipped the duvet cover around on the pull out couch and made it work.||All in all, you are on Kauai, so it’s an awesome place to be. I personally would not want to stay here again, but as I said earlier, in the review, it was totally adequate. Running up and down the trail, there are much nicer places to stay. This is a great...

I first stayed at Condo A310 in 2015 so I thought I would update my review. We stayed there August 22 - 27 2019. The place is just as nice as the first time we stayed. Very well maintained and the decor was updated. This place was and is immaculate and has AIR CONDITIONING! I cannot stress that enough......THIS UNIT (A310) HAS AIR CONDITIONING!! Do not take AC for granite, as I know that several units in this complex do not have AC.||Added benefit: there is now an elevator on property that makes getting the luggage to the 3rd floor a breeze! ||Downside: it is oceanside, however there is no direct beach. They are going to be putting in a seawall in the next year which will create a nice beach for them. This is not a big deal as you just need to walk 20 yards south and you will be on a very nice beach....so nice the Monk Seals came to visit it 3 times during our stay. They are such amazing creatures and right there near Condo A310! We were able to pack half the clothes normally taken on a trip this length due to the washer and dryer that are available in this unit - made hauling one checked bag and one carry on for a family of three a breeze!||||||This magnificent third floor condo unit faces the ocean for amazing views of the sunrise. Out the front door you can watch the sunset over “The Sleeping Giant”. During the day, you can open the front door and the balcony doors and catch a great cross breeze that keeps you comfortable. ||||The condo has all the amenities on site that one needs including a fully equipped kitchen, two private bedrooms with king size beds and a den that can be closed off with a sleeper sofa to provide a third bedroom, as well as 2.5 baths. This privately owned and recently upgraded condo even has a full size washer and dryer. There are multiple gas grills outside where one can enjoy the evening by grilling fresh fish or a steak. In the beautiful grass courtyard is a swimming pool that looks out across the beach to the ocean.||||As they say, it is all about location! Located in Kapaa you have the luxury of being directly across the street from a Safeway grocery store, ABC Store and a Star Bucks. Food Land is a easy walk to the south and has some of the best Poke on the Island.||||We cannot wait until we get to go back to...

There is a dirt road that can only be accessed through the parking lot of this property. Every night, a homeless parade starts, where the homeless cut through the parking lot of this property, to setup an encampment every night on the dirt road, which is in full view of this property. I have seen more police cars at this property in a week, then I have on my Southern California street, ever! While staying here, in the mornings I'll do yoga on our ground level patio between 5 and 6 am. Every single morning before dawn, all I hear is the outdoor shower running, which is directly next to the pool. In that outdoor shower, there are multiple homeless people taking turns showering there, every single morning. In fact, it does not stop until dawn. I am afraid to even leave the front door before dawn, to take out the trash. No children should be left unsupervised in the front of this property. When I have tried to walk across the street to Safeway, I can't get out of the parking lot here, without a homeless person asking me for money! I seriously wish to GOD, we were NOT on the first floor, because I do NOT feel safe on the first floor when my husband is gone. This is utterly ridiculous, seriously, utterly ridiculous. And housekeeping needs to step up their game, BIG TIME! They only come in once a new guest is checking in and they do NOT to a good job at all. I had to mop the floors DAY ONE! The floors were to dirty to even put a yoga mat on the floor and they were disgusting! Plus, the baseboards were disgusting and even the walls, were dirty! Really disappointing. Until the place hires a security team and gets some housekeepers that give a damn, go somewhere else! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GO...
