Went here with my family which consisted of a 5 month old and a 5 year old. A very clean portacrib was provided and was appreciated. We had the 2 bedroom and there was a lot of space. It was very quiet and across the street from the best snorkeling. The reception desk was very pleasant and accommodated requests immediately.... More

We spent our second half of our vacation here after three days on the north side of the island. it's not as peaceful, but that's what we wanted! Great venue for lots of activities for everyone. Although it seemed like there were mostly seniors, there were families with children as well. We fit right in the middle, mature adults, no... More

First off, it's worth noting that the Lawai Beach Resort is actually about 1 mile from Poipu... The Lawai Beach Resort is a well-kept, quiet, peaceful, relaxing timeshare/rental property. We stayed here as part of a timeshare deal during the last week of September 2012 and really enjoyed it. The grounds are incredible; the grass looks like a putting green,... More

The views at this place are insane. We can literally watch whales from our living room. There are 3 pools on property and 3 hot tubs. One of the pools (coral property) is heated. The units are clean but dated. We had a 2 bedroom villa. There is only 1 bathroom and no laundry facilities in the units themselves. There... More

We spent a perfect week here this past month. From the minute of check-in right through the entire week it was a piece of heaven. The staff, the grounds, the concierge desk, the unit, the view, the heated pool, etc, etc....all were absolutely perfect. The beach across the very quiet street offered swimmming, snorkelling, surfing and stunning sunsets. The airport... More

This last time I was at this resort was about 10 years ago. I loved the snorkeling across the road but now it seems it has been discovered and is much more crowded with too many people WALKING on the reef! Still saw lots of fish though. The rooms are spacious and the staff is nice. Be aware that there... More
