PAHIO at Kauai Beach Villas

PAHIO at Kauai Beach Villas

Best Things Nearby:
The airport, downtown Lihue, and Kapaa

Best Things About the Resort:
It sits all by itself, with no noisy neighbors (unless you count the roosters) or traffic.

Resort Experience:
Whereas Honolulu is crowded with traffic and high rises, Kauai is extremely underdeveloped, and it chooses to stay that way! About 90% of the island (I think) is mandated to stay in an undeveloped state. Combine that with a level of biodiversity that you might think impossible for such a small island and you have something very, very special! The units at Pahio's Kauai Beach Villas are spacious and comfortable. When you make your reservation you might want to specify whether you prefer an ocean or lagoon view. We overlooked the lagoon, which is lush and peaceful (as long as you don't mind the occaisional rooster call, but then the chickens are all over the island). But some might prefer the ocean (tomayto... tomahto). There are a number of no or low cost activities at the resort as well. We missed out on the hula lessons, but had a blast painting coconuts to mail home. Yes, you can mail a coconut without additional packaging! The first morning orientation by the resort concierge staff got us off to a great start. Each unit has a washer and dryer, air conditioners in the bedroome (not require, but nice nonetheless), and a full kitchen. Perhaps the best part of the unit layout is that the two bedrooms work extremely well. It's not as if you're going to be tripping over everyone. If you're a family with kids or two couples, you can stay secluded enough to not cross paths in the morning until you've had your bath/shower, brushed your teeth and hair and fully dressed. Ah yes... civilization!

Best Things Nearby:
Ocean, Lihue, Botanical Gardens, Waimea Canyon

Best Things About the Resort:
Tennis courts, nice units, lanai, nice pool, chickens

Resort Experience:
This is a very attractive resort located on a beach that is lovely, but not safe for swimming. We enjoyed the pool, though, and went to nearby public beaches to swim in the ocean. The kitchen is very well-equipped; it even had a rice cooker.

In our opinion, the only downside to the resort is that is is adjacent to property where people enjoy riding dirt bikes and ATVs. Between that and the sound of the ubiquitous chickens, one should not plan on sleeping late at this resort. There's so much to see and do, one wouldn't want to sleep late anyway.

Best Things Nearby:
Golf course next to resort. Shopping mall with restaurants within three miles. Only two miles from Lihue Airport.

Best Things About the Resort:
Quiet and close to beach. Access to all facilities at Radisson Hotel on property.

Resort Experience:
The staff was friendly and helpful. Checking in at the airport was convenient and quick.

The suite, though not large, was neat and well decorated.

The resort's layout featured a large lagoon with ducks. There's a nice pool centered in close proximity to all the villas. It's about a 300-yard walk to the sandy beach. The surf was not good for swimming, however.

Best Things Nearby:
Airport and the best shopping are minutes away.

Best Things About the Resort:
The north shore and the west shore are equidistant from this location.

Resort Experience:
The best timeshare we have. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Kauai has to be the best of all the islands with its beautiful and various terrain. The people are wonderful and the living is easy.

  • Rated 5 of 5 by Tami and Mike from Nampa, Idaho
Best Things Nearby:
Beaches, snorkeling, scuba diving, gorgeous waterfalls, every view is scenic.

Best Things About the Resort:
It looked brand-new. Immaculately clean and in perfect repair. Guests were able to use all the Raddison facilities--fabulous pools next to the ocean, exercise room, etc.

Resort Experience:
This was probably one of the nicest condos we've ever traded for. Even though it only had one bedroom, it had 2 bathrooms. This was handy since we had our 12-year old with us and lots of wetsuits and scuba gear.
