Kaha Lani Resort, Kauai: Oceanfront Condos We Loved

Mid‑range price, million‑dollar setting. Our stay at Kaha Lani Resort on Kauai checked all the boxes: a full kitchen for easy meals, a gorgeous pool, and direct access to the beach. If you’re craving the calm side of Hawaii, this is an easy yes.

Why We Picked Kaha Lani

• Peaceful, central base: Oceanfront on Kauai’s east side (Coconut Coast) with quick access to both north and south shores.
• Condo convenience: Full kitchens, living room, lanai—perfect for longer stays and families.
• On‑site pool + beach path: Sunrise walks, pool afternoons, starry nights.
• Value: Mid‑range pricing with room to breathe.

Kauai was our favorite island for the simple reason that it let us exhale. Kaha Lani gave us space to cook, rest, swim—and just be.

Our Experience (The Good + One Small Gotcha)

We stayed on the ground floor with a view of the pool, palms, and ocean—dreamy. The bed was comfy and the condo layout made it feel like home. Our only gripe: the bedroom backed up to the parking area, so mornings could be a bit noisy. If you like to sleep in, request an upper floor or a unit not facing the lot when you book.

Things to Know Before You Go

• Best time: Spring and fall for fewer crowds; we went in mid‑November and often had the pool to ourselves.
• Groceries: The full kitchen saves $$$—stock up in Līhuʻe or Kapaʻa.
• Driving: Rush hour can surprise you. Avoid peak times if you can.
• Location perks: Easy day trips north (Hanalei) and south (Poʻipū). Great sunrise spot steps from your door.
