Poipu Beach is a perennial favorite and is often singled out as Kauai’s best beach. The resort has 42 plantation-style buildings with 333 One- and Two-Bedroom units. Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation is set on 37 acres that combine tropical landscaping with a cactus and orchid garden, manicured lawns and koi ponds, all set off by palm and plumeria trees. Condominium units at the Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation feature full kitchens and spacious quarters. Guests will also find full laundry facilities on the property. Ocean View or Ocean Front One- and Two-Bedroom units go fast because of their convenience to Poipu Beach, and their ocean views. Partial Ocean View units look out over the resort’s lawns and beach. Smaller families will do fine in a OneBedroom unit, although larger families will want to consider one of the bi-level Two-Bedroom condos. These have a large living room, full kitchen upstairs and large lanais. When guests get enough of cooking for themselves, they can enjoy moderate to upscale dining at the resort’s Plantation Gardens restaurant, or the Casa Blanca restaurant at the Kiahuna Swim & Tennis Club. The Kiahuna Swim and Tennis Club has a pool with a waterslide and sand-bottom children’s area, as well as a whirlpool spa that features 10 hydrotherapy jets and submerged bench seating. Use of the facility’s 10 tennis courts is complimentary for Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation guests. The Tennis Shop stocks tennis attire and tennis balls, and offers racket rentals, racket re-stringing and lessons with the onsite tennis pro.
