Resort Experience:
The Embassy at Poipu Point is a beautiful resort with nice pools and beautifully landscaped grounds with waterfalls and ponds. The room that we had was a two-bedroom with a foldout couch. The room had two bathrooms and a laundry room because they provided no maid service while you stayed. The rooms were cleaned before and after your trip and you only had they towels that they originally left you with. The master bedroom was huge and it had a gorgeous tile bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and an open shower, with tile surrounding it. The resort served a continental breakfast every morning, which wasn't very exciting. The breakfast consisted mainly of different cereals. There wasn't much to walk to from this resort besides walking along the beach path or to the Hyatt Regency Resort next door. The beach down below was rocky so there wasn't good access to it from the resort. The grounds at the Embassy were very lovely; there were tropical plants all around the property and nice pathways. There was a hot tub in another area of the resort that was somewhat secluded from the other pools and gathering areas that made it a nice area to relax at. The main pool had a hammock for anyone to use and the pool had a sandy bottom. The eating areas at this resort were very sparse, there weren't any nice restaurants to eat at but they had a poolside grill. That made meals kind of tricky not having anything on the property to eat at. The nightlife was pretty boring unless you went next door to the Hyatt Regency or went down to the pool area.
In order to go shopping, snorkeling or to dine out we had to leave the resort, which some days was tiresome and tedious. We had six people in our group and not everyone wanted to do the same things or go to the same places, so we all had to compromise to go anywhere. The other annoyance on the trip was that we spent our time washing and folding towels for our showers for the next day. This kind of made it hard to relax and call this a vacation. We did end up having a nice time but I was expecting more from this resort. The Embassy is awfully proud of their Kauai location, and yes it is nice, but there weren't very many amenities or services available. If I go back to Kauai I would probably stay somewhere different just so I could eat out whenever I wanted, and I would also want to stay somewhere with beach access.
