    This resort is a best kept secret within the Wyndham system. It is on Kawai, but unlike the other half dozen resorts in the Wyndham system on Kauai, it is on the south shore, which is the dryer side with much more sun. This resort also is right on the ocean And walking up to a sandy Beach is no problem. This is really not that common in Hawaii.

    Quiet private location within steps of beach, bars and restaurants! A few minutes drive to Costco and Walmart for all your goodies if you prefer to host the holidays. Unit is clean and spacious with 2 full bathrooms and private patio/balcony for your convenience.

  • Hands down, one of our favorites. Private, quiet and steps from 5 miles of beach!

    This resort is in a great location. Located only minutes from the airport makes it easy to go either north to the Princeville area or south to Poipu. Restaurants, shopping, dining, and recreation opportunities are abundant and close by.

    The units are spacious and include a full kitchen, living room, dining area, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, in unit laundry facilities, private patios and more.

    This is a beachfront property. The beach is only a few minutes walk from any unit on the property. The ocean is not for swimming at this location. This beach is great for seeing the sunrise, walking in the surf, or just sitting to relax and enjoy the ocean. A short walk along the beach to the north is a very nice swimmable beach at Lidgate park.

    As some reviews will attest some of the units are in need of carpet and furniture updates and other upgrades. If you are going to rent a unit on this property try and find a ground floor unit. There was a flood in 2020 and all the ground floor units were affected. They were all refurbished in 2021 and are much nicer than the upper floor units.

    The grounds are kept in an immaculate condition and lend a sense of peace to your stay. The resort has a pool, hot tub, tennis and pickleball courts, outdoor barbeque areas and other amenities on site. The use of three pools and other facilities at the adjacent Kauai Beach Resort included with your stay.

    I would highly recommend this this property. We have been coming to this resort for two weeks every year since 1996 and have loved every single trip. Sadly, we are getting older and the rigors of travelling to get there have become too much for us. Those yearly vacations will be sorely missed.

    We have owned weeks at this timeshare for over 20 years, and it remains one of the premier properties on the island. The beach is great for sunning and swimming, and the pool is the best on the island. The hotel amenities are available for villa guests, and the staff is friendly and helpful. There are many things to do on the island, or just relax and enjoy!

    Easy access and centrally located between Poipu and Princeville. Located near the Airport and Costco. Located next to the beach and adjacent to the Hotel with bar lounge and restaurant. Large 2 bedroom and 2 bath. Pool area is small but not crowded.

    We are owners and were just there in June. I love the place overall but I am compelled to provide an update to the previous(2012) review about use of the pool at the adjacent hotel. The only way to do that now is to go to the Wyndham timeshare sales presentation in Princeville and get issued the required armband. And yes the hotel is monitoring for the armbands and asking people to leave if they don't have one. There is an alternate small pool on the KBV property with a hot tub.

    We have owned here for years and for a while were concerned after Wyndham took over and discontinued some traditions and lost some staff. Now, however, things have definitely improved. Again, KBV timeshare guests can use the big pools at the adjoining hotel, for example...without charge. AND, the new KBV pool is an improvement over the old one. AND some traditions have been restored. The Beach is still gorgeous and the resort is still a favorite place for us.

    This resort has some units that overlook the ocean. The 180 degree view of the Pacific is spectacular. In winter you can view whales from your lanai as you eat any of your meals. This past year the hotel next door has agreed to share facilities once again opening three beautiful pools, outdoor and indoor bars and restaurant to timeshare users. There is nightly live entertainment in the hotel. The 2 bedroom 2 bath unit is 1400 sq ft and offers a fully equipped kitchen, an ocean facing dining room and living room and a lanai. It has a washer dryer in the unit and it is located close to golf, shopping and all tourist activity. The beach is quiet and offers the longest walking beach on Kauai.

    This resort has never let us down. We've own this timeshare since 1997. Our stays has always been very pleasing. We always get back relaxed and refreshed from our vacation and stay here in the Kauai Beach Villas. The people are all so nice and friendly. The units we've stayed in are clean and quiet. So far, we could not think of a reason why anybody would not want to stay here instead of a hotel. Very close to the beach. We can hear the waves during day and night. The location is close to everything. The airport is close by but we do not hear one sign of a plane passing by. I think the island took care of that by re-routing all commercial planes directly to the ocean so as to keep the island as quiet and serene as possible. Kauai is the best island in Hawaii that we have visited.

    We returned to KBV in September, 2005 for two weeks. We love this resort and its beach. We stayed in H10, a second floor 2 Bdrm for a week and a 1 bdrm unit, second floor in building F, the second week. Building H squarely faces the ocean and thus is one of our favorite buildings. F fronts the ocean at an angle and still is considered oceanfront and is also a great location. Both had great views and allowed us to hear the ocean at all times (which is important to us though I know not to everyone). The buildings closest to the ocean are G, H, and F. None of the other buildings in KBV offer an oceanview...just lagoon or garden. A few units in F do not face the ocean but are the closest to it after G or H so are still handiest for beach walking. For those with kids, other units are maybe closer to other amenities... We are fond of this place and love the location which is very convenient to the airport, to Lihue and Wailua and Kapaa. We always rent a car so can always find the sun and places to snorkel regardless of the little microclimates (it can be sunny in Poipu and rainy in Lihue and stormy on the north coast etc.

    The units are ample and have nearly anything you would need. We normally stock up at the big shopping center (Safeway etc) in Kapaa and rarely have a meal at the adjoining hotel.The units have some wear so inspect upon arrival and report anything that needs repair right away and it is usually taken care of within the same day. We found that the sliding door to the deck was stuck and the ceiling fan wobbled. Aside from such minor things, everything was fine.

    Only drawbacks have to do with the adjoining hotel and facilities, often quoted as functioning as amenities for KBV.

    The hotel staff despite insisting that only hotel guests (NOT Kauai Beach Villas owners or guests)not use their hottub or pool or weight room. Several photos on Redweek are of the forbidden hotel facilities and hopefully will be removed. KBV plans to build more amenities for their guests and owners recently rescheduled for 2008. KBV has only one small pool now.

    Absolutely loved it!!! Our unit overlooked the lush grounds and condo pool, the kids LOVED all the swans & geese - they fed them every morning-what great photos I have & memories. The unit exceeded our expectations, very up to date with wonderful atmosphere! At night, the kids played with other children on the grounds & chased toads all around - too much fun. We liked the fact that we had the best of both worlds, the condo pool which was not as fancy & very low key, then the Radisson pool which was more resort-like. I've received a letter from Pahio stating that we will be able to use the pool at the Radisson until the new pool at the villas are complete, it was written in our January 2008 newsletter. The location is wonderful too, pretty much smack dab in the middle of the island, which makes excursion and exploring much more convenient! We purchased this unit sight unseen and are so glad we did! The staff were also incredible! Our TV stopped working and within an hour or so, we had a brand new TV setup & everything, we also requested a DVD player since we brought along some movies for the kids - not a problem for Pahio! The service was A+++!

    We own two 1 bedroom units here and used them for the first time in summer of 2007 - soon after Wyndham Resorts took over the operation of Pahio. The AC unit did not work when we arrived and it was replaced with-in an hour. Our ground floor C unit allowed us to walk directly to the BBQ's and pool. The pool is not the best, but it is nice. We preferred the pool at Bali Hi (which as an owner or guest all Pahio pools can be used). Prior remarks indicate use of the Raddisson which is no longer the case and it is no longer a Raddisson.

    We stayed here Nov 2007 in a 2 bedroom unit on the first floor of the "B" building. The inside of the unit was great. It looked like it has been recently remodeled. Well stocked kitchen, large SONY flat screen TV in the living room, comfortable king size bed in the master bedroom, and lots of space. Good thing about the "B" building is that you are near the pool, tennis courts, office, and fast access to the highway. I have two complaints, however. First, our view was the back of the pool house. Second, no trade winds get back to the 1st floor of "B" building causing the living room and dining room to be HOT as there is no air conditioning except in the bedrooms. We solved the problem by cranking up the A/C in both bedrooms and keeping all the curtains shut. Since we didn't have much of a view it didn't matter that the curtains were shut. We didn't come to Kauai to stay in the unit all day anyway. We were out every day exploring and it was nice to come back to this unit when it was cooled off. This is a great central location if you want to visit the whole island. The hotel next door is now a Hilton. While you can't use their pool anymore, it is an easy walk for a good restaurant. If you go here and want a view and some trade winds, stay away from buildings A, B, and C.

    We have stayed at this resort twice, and both were great! The view, proximity to shopping, and resort staff are all excellent. The timeshare presentation was non-pressure, and well worth the benefits offered.

    Our next trip in March is for one week here and one week at the Shearwater in Princeville.

    This resort is wonderful! It is centrally located on the island and beachfront. And you can walk this part of the beach for miles! It is halfway between Princeville and Poipu, which is convenient when you want to visit either end of the island. It is also near some wonderful golf courses. The restaurants in Kapaa are excellent! The condo units are spacious with patios, and there is a beautiful lagoon with geese central to the property. Pahio takes care of the environmental aspects of their units, which is important while trying to relax. Definitely recommend it!

    We stayed at Kauai Beach Villas Jan 01-08/05 with our family of 7. (parents. grandparents and 3 kids). We rented a huge condo unit with 2bed/2baths from the owner. It was absolutely awesome and very clean. We were very happy with all the amenities which included A/C, full kitchen with D/W, washer/dryer in the unit, 1 king with TV, 2 doubles and TV and 1 queen hideaway in living room with TV, DVD and stereo. Housekeeping came the 4th day to replace towels other than that there is no housekeeping. We could have used the Radisson's pools and hot tub but found that ours was good enough and was just beside our complex. Besides at the time we were there, our hot tub was hotter than theirs. The ocean is only a 3 min. walk away but there is no swimming due to rocks and coral. We went to Lydgate park, a 10 min drive.

    We found the staff courteous and helpful. Please be aware of the timeshare pressure. I just told them no once and they didn't bother us again. That would be the only negative comment about Beach Villas.
