Eleele Salt Pond Beach Hotels

"From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and made us feel as if we were at home. The resort could not have been more beautiful, the room was spacious, beds comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked. We loved our stay and will be returning next year for sure. "

"This home took our breath away! The orientation of it sitting on the south shore almost quite literally on the ocean allowed us to start each day watching the sun rise and end the day enjoying the sun setting.We saw dolphins and whales from the pool!The house has a ton of space and lots of areas to retreat to if guests need some solitude.The kitchen was well stocked with spices and kitchen appliances; we made several large family meals with no hassle. There are two dishwashers so clean up was a breeze. The basement stored lots of water toys , rafts, SUPs, long board, to enjoy in the pool or ocean. Such a nice touch! The cons of this house are few and would be: too many light switches (like 100s!) and decor is a bit dated. The host was very responsive; when the refrigerator wasn't getting cool enough they sent someone out to fix it (only need to be reset) right away. Beautiful home in paradise!"

"Beautiful! Looked just as good in person as the photos. You can watch turtles all day long from the balcony. Great location!"

"Had a great stay. Enough room to sleep 6 of us with plenty of room in the kitchen and living room. Outside living was great. Lots of seating and a beautiful view. Even had everyday visits from some 4 legged fur friends (cats) and some not so much friends (chickens). Saw dolphins jumping from the back yard.House had beach toys and towels which was great to not have to worry about.Only minor complaint was the window air conditioners in the main house bedrooms were loud."

"This is a wonderful, wonderful spot! You hear the water…watch boarding from your deck. Beautiful home…vintage…I love fixed up vintage! You won’t be disappointed."

"Place was awesome, in a quiet area and the place was very clean!"

"Everything was perfect! We had so much fun and will definitely be back."

"My wife and I stayed at Kai Nalu with two of our adult sons and daughter-in-laws. It was very accommodating for our ohana gathering. We had 3 rental vehicles between us. There was plenty of parking for all. The kitchen and front room were big enough and well-equipped for family style cooking and meals. The washer and dryer were great and in use every day. Each couple had their own bathroom which was a huge plus. The location is excellent. Most mornings we gathered as a family on the backyard beach to watch the Kauai sunrise. Hearing the waves crashing on the beach morning and night added a touch of perfection to our vacation. Shopping, food and shave ice were all a short walk away. The neighbors on either side were very kind and friendly. For Kauai standards, this is a very large, roomy home. We didnt even have to use the 4th bedroom and bathroom. We were very pleased with our choice. If you're staying in Waimea, this is an excellent choice for family/large group accommodations. If i had to choose between the Waimea Plantation Cottages and Kai Nalu, I'd choose Kai Nalu every time! Mahalo!!!"

"Beautiful home full of character and charm. Perfect representation for Kauai "
