kauai beach villas

Hi all, a friend has offered us a week of their timeshare with the Kauai beach villas to celebrate our honeymoon in March 07...anyone have any experience with the property? I know the pool is not the best but how about the rooms? Proximity to dining? bars? Thank you very much!

How well you will like this place depends a lot on which unit you get. Some apparently are quite nice and others pretty down at the heels. Also, only a few have ocean views. The pool is just there, not much to write home about. The beach is pretty, but, not particularly swimmable there -- lots of dangerous surf conditions. However, you are centrally located and just a short drive to many shops and restaurants. Also right next door to the county golf course, which is a great bargain.

We just stayed a week there in early Sept. I must say we were disappointed, as the resort is listed a topnotch by the timeshare trading company RCI. We do not feel the resort deserves that high a rating. That said, though, if someone is offering you a week there..that would be nice. The pool is awful and dirty, I wouldn%26#39;t plan on using it...but there are so great places to go on Kauai, you probably won%26#39;t spend a lot of time there anyway. It%26#39;s located between Lihue and Kapaa, so you are convenient to the restaurants in Kapaa. It%26#39;s about 45-60 min drive to the north, which is so beautiful. The condos at the resort are ok, the outside as you drive in is pretty grim, but the lagoon side is very pretty. Can%26#39;t swim at the beach there, but we spent some evenings sitting on the beach, drinking wine, watching the moon over the ocean...very romantic.

If using this condo means the difference of going to Kauai or not going for your honeymoon, I%26#39;d say take it.

I may be a little prejudice as a timeshare owner there, but we very much like the place. I do agree, though, that if you don%26#39;t get a 1 bedroom/2bath or a 2 bedroom unit, you may not find it as attractive. The 1 bedroom/1baths face the parking areas.
