Sheraton Kauai Resort is located in a prime position of Poipu Beach on the South Shore of Kauai . As Kauai tends to get a bit more rain than the other Hawaiian Islands, Poipu Beach is your best bet for avoiding rain. In fact, it’s not often I hear Poipu without the mention that it’s sunny.
Sheraton Kauai Resort was one of the first hotels to be built at Poipu Beach, and oh boy, did they get a prime location, so close to the ocean, you could toss a stone into it from your balcony/lanai. The Ocean and Beach wings offer tremendous ocean views that we so enjoyed every spare moment we had.
Rooms
Sheraton Kauai Resort is divided into three wings and a common area that includes the lobby, shops and restaurants. I would recommend that you request either the Ocean Wing or Beach Wing when you make your reservation as they are on the ocean side of the road. We stayed in deluxe ocean front room in the Ocean Wing. See this link for a property overview
The rooms and lanais (balconies) were adequately sized. We never felt cramped or crowded. The bath had double sinks and plenty of room to store our toiletries. One unique room feature we particularly liked is that we could access the closet from both the bathroom and the bedroom.
The bed was comfortable and the air conditioner was quiet. So, we definitely slept well while staying at the Sheraton Kauai Resort.
I believe the rooms were remodeled a few years ago, so the decor was attractive and welcoming. I would describe it as contemporary plantation. It had enough of a “island-feel” too it without going overboard. To see rooms and for virtual room tours, see this link.
The room included these conveniences:
Coffee maker and coffee | In-room safe |
Flat screen TV | Wireless internet (included in resort fee) |
Iron and ironing board | Bliss Spa brand shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash, lotion |
Refrigerator | Private balconies (lanais) w/padded chairs |
Hair dryer |
Amenities
The Sheraton Kauai Resort offers just about anything you would think you’d need and want in a Hawaiian resort. Here’s a quick rundown of what we enjoyed and/or noticed:
Final Thoughts
In an effort to be transparent, I’d like to make you aware that my stay at the Sheraton Kauai Resort was arranged by the Poipu Resort Beach Association. As always, you can trust that the advice I share on Go Visit Hawaii is the same as what I would give to by friends and family.

Aloha Laura & Marco,
Time has flown by this year, and I hadn't realized that your trip was coming up so quickly. I'm very,very excited for you!
I wish I could speak about the Sheraton Luau from experience, but unfortunately we did not have a chance to go to it. Here's a link to the TripAdvisor reviews of the Sheraton Luau: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g60625-d667845-r68370674-Surf_to_Sunset_Luau-Poipu_Kauai_Hawaii.html#REVIEWS Here's a post that compares the Kauai luaus and links to reviews: https://www.govisithawaii.com/2007/11/29/kauai-luaus/ I updated it earlier this year.
Just an idea, but for a gorgeous sunset view for dinner, consider The Beach House in Poipu. The food, view and service are wonderful and the restaurant has won numerous awards. Take a peek at the dining recommendations from our recent trip to Kauai: https://www.govisithawaii.com/2010/06/08/impressions-from-our-trip-to-kauai-dining/
Thank you both so much for being such encouraging and loyal readers all the way from Italy! You are a blessing to me!
I know you both love Hawaii and know how it's such a special place. I hope your upcoming trip exceeds your expectation!
