Kapaa Shore Resort

First time in Kauai so we had the opportunity to see what the island had to offer. Starting with the resort, it was decent. My family and I always go to Maui and most resorts we stay at have elevators, but this one didn’t. Not their fault, but sucks having to climb 6 flight of stairs holding bags of groceries. Not to mention that there were small cockroaches roaming the room… Anyways, the view was absolutely gorgeous! We had a 2 story room with an amazing sunrise view.

We stayed here for 4 days! Loved it! Very calm, very pacific resort. Loed everything in the room, though the shower had a few black fungus spots. But the kitchen was well equipped with EVERYTHING! Had two tvs and two dvds, we had a lot of trouble with one of the dvds, and the ladt night one of the tvs kept turning off by itself. They give you coins so you can do your laundry, so its free, you have the detergent in your room. The pool was always kepy clean, every morning I saw maintaince cleaning it. Loved everything! I would stay here again!

Great central location! Stayed in an independently owned condo but check in with resort office was fast & easy. Great view & able to leave 3^rd floor upper windows open for breezes and sound of waves at night. We didn’t use the roadside 2^nd bedroom but it would be noisy with road noise & hallway traffic. Also would be stuffy in the warmer months with no A/​C. Only con during our stay was the families that used the Jacuzzi as a baby pool every day & evening.

This is one of our favorite places to stay. Incredible ocean views from our lanai… right on the central coast for easy access to everywhere… newly renovated rooms, excellent beds… bike path along the ocean close by… what’s not to like? We are WorldMark owners, and we love coming here.

My sister in law was so nice enough to book us a unit here after getting married in Oahu…
Pros
–Spacious unit… ours have 2 rooms with 2 bathrooms
–Nice view of the ocean in our patio/​balcony
–Amenities include kitchenwares so you can cook your own food
–Near Safeway, Taco bell/​Pizza hut
Cons
–No airconditioner inside the room… they do have fans though.
–No ocean swimming
–The beach front is too rocky and slippery.
All in all our stay was so memorable, we got more relaxed and laid back than staying in the big island Oauhu.

Everyone’s seen towel animals before… but have you seen tissue animals? yes. there was a tissue butterfly on the toilet seat lid! That totally made my day when we first checked in. Not sure if they went a little too far but it was definitely amusing.
We stayed here for a week and it was great! We got to watch the sunrise every morning and enjoy the hot tub every evening after each day’s adventures. Another cool thing, there’s a guy who paddleboards every morning when you go out to take pictures of the sunrise (of course we didn’t deal with any rough weather while we were there). He’s in over 80% of my sunrise shots and makes them that much cooler! There’s no AC but you adapt to the humidity by the second day. The one bedrooms don’t come with the washer and dryer so we had to take a short walk to one of the laundry rooms. Oh, and you’ll have to get some quarters from the front desk to use the machines. It’s still convenient since you can pack light and leave a lot of extra room in your luggage for souvenirs and hawaiian snacks to bring home. We did make good use of the WiFi since our phones were running way too slow to load anything or book reservations for certain events/​adventures. The only thing that bugged me were the micro ants that kept appearing in our kitchen sink area. We had no food on the counters but they were marching around looking anyways. Other than that, I wouldn’t mind coming back the next time I visit.

I’m a fan of time shares because they’re like mini apartments and you get a bedroom, a queen sized murphy bed, and a kitchen stocked with cooking supplies. Not a huge fan of the way the booking works though. Checkout is strictly at 11AM, and you aren’t able to push it any later because they always have rooms booked back to back.
They do have what they call «hospitality suites» set up for people who have late flights… which is actually just another room in the timeshare and can become inconveniently cramped. They use this room as storage too, so you’ve got suitcases everywhere, people constantly coming in, and very little space to hang out. My group stayed in this room after kayaking and we were exhausted, so we took up the whole living room space and napped, which meant that other people who wanted to hang out couldn’t because there was no room to sit. And when you need to use the restroom, you can’t because the stranger taking the 1 hour shower is hogging the bathroom. Hospitality suites are a great idea in theory, but it works better if it’s a bigger room space and there are multiple bathrooms.
There’s a DVD library at the front desk, but it’s pretty expensive to rent. Save your $$ and go to Safeway across the street to rent from Redbox.

Love the location… Nice staff. Beautiful surroundings. Clean and quiet.
A must stay

The big shortfall is no sandy beach and no ocean swimming… but I knew that coming in. Location is right on the ocean with good views, very close to a Safeway and several restaurants within walking distance. Nothing fancy but clean and nice enough for me. They are currently remodeling rooms. One more complaint… no wifi??? Come on Worldmark, it’s almost 2013!

my hubby and i have stayed at the kapa’a shore resort twice — the first time was in 2006 for our honeymoon, and we are back again now. not much has changed in the 4.5 years since we’ve been here, other than wyndham acquiring this property.
kapa’a shore is conveniently located on the east side of Kauai and is halfway from the north and south shores. it is also located on the beach… literally. there are signs in each unit warning visitors that they are in a tsunami zone, with instructions of what to do in case of a tsunami. lol. we had an ocean view both times we were here, and fell asleep to the sounds of waves crashing on the shore. love.
the only downside of this property is that it is older, so it is not as nice as the other wyndham properties we’ve stayed at on maui and in princeville. the condo we stayed in for our most recent stay was spacious and much nicer than the one we stayed in for our honeymoon, but we discovered cockroaches in the kitchen. grody to the max. i couldn’t sleep the first night because i was so grossed out. i understand that cockroaches are common on the island, but nobody wants to see that in a vacation rental. try not to get unit 326 in bldg c.
the customer service is good. the staff was super friendly and helpful. when i called the front desk about the cockroaches, they quickly scheduled an appointment to have pest control come in and take care of those nasty little critters.

Stayed with family over last christmas here in two units. Great place to stay and very near grocery stores. We stayed in the unit with washer and dryer. Best thing as we could wash when we needed to. Full kitchen helps take the bite out of food costs and the need to go out for every meal. I would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed in the Kapaa Shore Resort on our Honeymoon, it truly is paradise. Our condo was on the bottom floor which walked out to the Pool and Beach which was less then 200 feet from the the crashing waves on the beach. The sandy beach runs for miles along the waters edge, which walks right up onto the resorts grass. Our Condo had 1 bedroom, 1 bath, full kitchen and large living room. Very Clean and cozy! Since Kapaa shore is a time share most of the people staying there were 65+ which was nice because we weren’t constantly competing for time in the jacuzzi or the pool and it was very relaxing. The office has movies to rent for a dollar a night which is very nice after a long day of adventuring in Hawaii. The resort is located less then a block away from Safeway and other convenient stores ABC, Hilo Hatti, etc. This is def. a tucked away secret that is a must stay for the romantic at heart looking for a perfect piece of paradise. (While in Kauai try Zip-​Lining @ Princeville Ranch, Lapperts Ice Cream, and Kauai Pasta Co.) Happy Traveling :-)
