The Lodge at Kukui'Ula

I guess I just expected a better experience, didn't experience a great welcoming feeling, I think employees probably gossip about guests, I felt that within minutes of checking in.

This was by far the best family vacation ever. The staff were so friendly and helpful and welcoming!! The accommodations were spotless and there were so many things to do on property we almost never had to leave. We had a wonderful time, great food at the restaurants and great kitchen to cook for ourselves. We would definitely return! Thank you for giving us a wonderful Hawaiian experience.

This is the most amazing resort one can stay at! The staff make the vacation seamless and wonderful! Could not find a more serene, beautiful place with the most wonderful staff and servers!

We had stayed in Kauai on the north shore previously but had wanted something closer to the canyon and all of the south shore restaurants and shops. The Lodge at Kukui’ula was recommended by a travel group I’m on and I am so thrilled we tried it! First of all, our bungalow was perfect for the two of us and truly felt like our home for five days (with a full kitchen and washer/dryer because we are the crazy people who love doing laundry daily on vacation!). We loved being able to just go with the flow of our days - never worrying about whether we could get to breakfast right away because there was always food and space, not needing to use the fitness center at the crack of dawn because it never felt busy, and of course loved that we could hang at the pool whenever we wanted with plenty of chair options. If you want pool and housekeeping service every second of the day like some of the bigger hotels, this isn’t the place for you, but if you want a friendly, relaxed, still luxurious experience that feels like home, don’t hesitate to book it!

The facilities are all there but getting very dated. Great restaurants near by which is good because the food at The Lodge is mediocre. Be prepared if you rent a Cottage for a lot of deferred maintenance, fans in our unit don’t work, the electric is a mystery. We have five remotes to operate the living room A/V. The hot water takes so long to come on not sure the dishwasher or laundry really worked. $350 for a round of golf, we played behind some member guests who may never have played golf before. Check out the unit before you commit $20,000 for a week you should get the optimal experience.

The Lodge is impeccable... gorgeous grounds, lovely view of Poipu and Spouting Horn, and 5-star ammenities and cottages/homes. I had a fantastic massage at the spa. This is the perfect spot for a family vacation, especially if you want a kitchen and gathering spaces.
