the Embassy Vacation Resort (Soon to be called The Point at Poipu, BTW) is a great place to relax. the suites are large and have all of the features of home, and the grounds are well kept.
Would you recommend this to a friend?

Beautiful place to stay. We stayed here for our honeymoon and wouldn't go anywhere else! The view of the Pacific from the room is spectacular. Rooms are spacious, clean, and nice! Very laid back atmosphere- everyone was friendly and helpful- and also very romantic!. Loved the pool, hot tub, and bar- all great!!! I do wish that the breakfast buffet was included- a little pricey for what you get! Concierge was extremely helpful in helping us plan our activities. Several nice shops and towns close by. (Old Kaloa town is a fave!) All parts of the island are easily driven to in a rental car. Beatiful beach down the street. Overall the atmosphere and stay were beyond our expectations- this is one of the reasons Kauai is our favorite Island. We would be hard pressed to stay anywhere else. Would recommend this to anyone no matter what the occasion!!!

Fantastic View of the Pacific

The rooms were very nice, clean, and we enjoyed them, but we did not have a wide screen tv. They do charge 9.95 day for the use of the internet, but they do not tell you that if you have more than one computer...that charge is 9.95 PER COMPUTER! Also you are charged a $6.09 State tax per day on your room, which we had not been charged at other Sunterra/Diamond Resorts. The resort itself is very nice, but nothing compared to Kannapali Beach Resort in Maui which is the same amount of points if you are a Diamond Resort Owner. The pool area has alot to be desired. Again nothing compared to the resort in Maui(formerly Embassy Suites). The staff that we dealt with was fine. But you don't get anything extra for your bucks, other than really nice welcome breakfast the day after you arrive. Great views of the ocean, even though you must walk a bit to a beach. The morning sunrise was nice to see, as usually we are on the sides of the island where we see sunsets. The grounds are very well maintained. Weather in late January this year has been quite windy, rainy, but nice with the sun in and out. But I think I will stick with Maui!!

After living in Hawaii for several years and wanting a small piece of the Islands to call our own, we bought into the Point in 2005 and love going back each year. In 2007 we took my mom and dad along for the trip and with 5 people in the condo, we had plenty of room. The staff is fantastic and the resort is beautiful.

We love the Point. We purchased 6 years ago when it was the Embassy Suites and have kept our Ocean Front Week without converting to Points and use it without fail, every year.

We purchased 2 weeks at this beautiful resort our first visit. We have visited all of the islands, and Kauai is my favorite. Our teenage son, however loves Maui- but he also likes Kauai. (We also own 2 weeks at the Maui Embassy too-it too is a great property.!)

Just got back from our stay at at The Point at Poipu, had a great time. Also noticed that the ceilings were thin. Great service and staff and the rooms were quite clean. Also enjoyed the pool and the adults-only jacuzzi. Only real gripe is the expensive internet connection. There's a cable modem in each room and it costs $10/day. It's a great connection but should only cost $10/week. The connection can easily be hacked with a packet sniffer and MAC address spoofer, if you know how to do that.
