My family has been coming to Kauai yearly for 15 years. We have stayed all over the island, in hotels, homes, condos, resorts, etc. The Marriott Kauai Beach club is by far the most convenient location for getting around the island and the resort itself is outstanding. The rooms are spacious enough for what we need, are updated, clean and maintained. The timeshares are convenient with kithenettes, irons, etc. BBQ grills are available right outside. The resort is beautiful. Kalapaki beach is a great all around beach with paddleboard, surfboard, kayak, etc. rentals right on the beach. Kukui's, Dukes and Café Portofino are outstanding restaurants within walking distance. More casual fare: Kalapaki Joe's, Feral Pig, Mariachi's, Bamboo Grill and others are a short walk. The resort offers many activities, a nice gym, beautiful walking trails nearby, golf courses, too much to name. The entire resort including pool, spas, gardens, Koi pond are immaculately kept. The resort is a gem and the rooms are comfortable. This is the best location if you want to head north to Princeville/ Hanalei or South to Koloa/Poipu or West to Waimea Canyon. You are never too far from anything.
