The Lodge at Kukuiʻula — Hotel in Kauai

We stayed in Villa 4 for 7 nights in early November 2024. We had 8 adults and 2 children under 3.5. From the Lodge to the Villa to the pools, the experience was 5-star in every possible way. ||||The Grounds:||The grounds are so well manicured and curated - absolutely stunning. They were incomparable to anything I've experienced on any of the islands. Vast spaces make the property feel private and exclusive. Getting around was easy, and we always wanted to take our time. The facilities are all well cared for and of the highest quality.||||My 3.5 year old and I had a blast swimming in the big pool and sliding down the slide (100 times). The way it was designed to be beach-like is awesome. ||||The Villa:||Comfortable beds throughout. Incredible views. Luxury living at its finest. Everything about the Villa was stunning. These were clearly NOT cheap builds. The internet worked well for the 4 days my partners and I met.||||The Service:||We loved our dinner at the main restaurant the first night. Service there, and across the entire property, was welcoming and helpful. Both text and call lines were quick to be answered and help was received in a timely fashion if needed. Alohas abound!||||Why to stay here:||If you want privacy, views, gorgeous grounds, a very accommodating staff, and that 5-star Aloha life. This is the place.||||Why not to stay here:||You're looking for a party. You want to mingle, socialize, and otherwise have access to a lot stores and restaurants within walking distance (everything in Poipu is literally a 5-min drive away)||||It is not cheap to stay here, but after experiencing it, I really can't see staying anywhere...

If you want luxury, you will not be disappointed! This place is NICE! Every detail at this property was well thought out. Everyone was so friendly and the property is gorgeous! The food and drinks were great too! The sunsets from the clubhouse each night on the great lawn cannot be beat! Rent a bike and bike to the shopping village and around the property. Take a long morning walk all over the grounds, there are tons of paths to stroll on. We loved the Farm Stand that allowed us to grab any flowers and fruits that we wanted for FREE daily! If you are a golfer, you will LOVE this course! One of the better maintained courses we have ever been to. Ocean view holes are awesome too! It is pricey but worth it! There is no cart girl serving stuff so at each of the two bathroom stops, there is also a code to access a door that has unlimited drinks (alcohol included) and snacks inside to grab for FREE! It was awesome! A big shout out to LeeAnn in the pro shop! I have never met someone more kind and accommodating. The bungalow we stayed in (Bungalow 12) was on hole 1 and was so nice! You would never need to leave this property if you wanted to just relax. There is plenty to do! I would highly recommend staying here and would only stay here if I came back to Kauai. This is for sure the nicest place on the island. We spent 4 nights in a VRBO on the north shore, which was amazing, but then came here for another 4 nights to experience the south shore. It was the perfect way to split up the island to see...
