wonderful, relaxing stay at pukalani
Our family had a wonderful time at Pukalani. This is our second time returning to this property and it is by far one of our favorites. The rental is clean and has a well appointed kitchen. We cook the bulk of our meals due to food allergies and appreciate the nice selection of cookware, utensils, dishes, and serving ware provided, not to mention the gas grilling stations available at the resort. The view from the balcony is absolutely stunning and where we spend the majority of our time. The location is perfect for exploring Kauai, with both the north and south shores being easily assessable. We definitely feel at home when we stay at Pukalani!

paradise!
If you are looking for the most magical stay in Kauai, look no further. This is our third time in this incredible home and we have already booked our next visit. As you sit on their glorious lanai, there is a special feel here that you will never forget. Sometimes that’s all you want to do! It’s also such a relaxing day at the pool under the palapas. You don’t need to go anywhere. What you are looking for is right here. Ron and Alice and the whole Kauai Vacation Rentals team are terrific. Everything from check in to check out is a breeze!! Pukalani means Heaven’s gate and that’s just what it is! Can’t wait to come back!!!

beautiful view
The condo was very nicely decorated and the view was unbelievable. We were comfortable the whole time. The only negative was that we couldn’t access the beautiful golf path that led to the hidden beaches described in the Vrbo blurb. I tried and tried to get down there but there was just no way I could find to enter the path and that was disappointing. Otherwise though, the pool and the property were gorgeous, the proximity to the airport was perfect and the drive to Poi Pu was only about 30 minutes.

our 30th wedding anniversary at pukalani
We thoroughly enjoyed our 26 night stay at Pukalani! This was a very special occasion for us and Pukalani is our favorite destination on our favorite Hawaiian island. Everything in Ron and Alice’s spectacular condominium was amazing and perfect!! From the moment we walked in, we were immediately transported to paradise........”Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away” the wonderful phrase written above the floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open up to the most beautiful view anywhere!!

amazing stay at the pukalani, marriott resort
The place was everything that the owner, Ron, had stated and more. The beds were extremely comfortable, and we had everything we needed. The views were breathtaking and sitting on the lanai was very relaxing and we had a gentle breeze most of the day. I was able to take a walk everyday along the path and up to the other resorts. The pool and the jacuzzi at the resort were refreshing and great for all ages. I will definitely go back and stay.

fantastic condo!!!
Our family had an amazing vacation at Pukalani! The condo has all that we needed and more! The view was breathtaking and the condo is excellently maintained. We had a mishap (which ended up being our own fault) and the owner was on the phone handling it in no time! Talk about incredible! Needless to say, if we ever go back to Kauai, we will most definitely be booking this condo again! I can see why they have repeat guests constantly!

best views in lihue!
We really enjoyed mornings on the lanai watching the changing sky over the gorgeous view of harbor, mountains and golf course. So much to watch and so beautiful! Very nice 2 bedroom with wonderful kitchen and open living room. Next time we come to Kauai we will stay here again! Oh and the pool is great too. Complex is very nicely landscaped.

The condo was great and the view from the lanai was beautiful. Much time was spent sitting on the lanai just enjoying the weather and views. A very comfortable and relaxing experience.

we love pukalani!
We’ve been to most of the islands, but Kauai is our favorite. And, we’ve stayed at many places on Kauai, from the West side to Hanalei. By far, Ron and Alice’s place in Kauai Lagoons is our favorite.
First and foremost, the views are absolutely breathtaking. You will be hard-pressed to find better views anywhere. 180 degrees of ocean, mountains and the small Nawilili harbor.
Next, the Kauai Lagoons “resort.” When we think of Hawaiian resorts, we think huge hotels, crowded pools and lots of noise. This “resort” is tiny in comparison, very quiet and very peaceful. There are a few activities, but the place doesn’t pretend to be a holiday host. You’ll find a lot of people reading, relaxing, using the pool and Jacuzzi attached, working out in the gym, and maybe playing golf.
The Pukalani condo has the most private and best views in the Lagoons. Unlike most of the other condos, you won’t have anyone walking past you. The condo is immaculate and laid-out perfectly for one or two couples (or, a couple and kids). It has a feeling more like a private home than a “resort condo.” It is fully equipped for cooking, with a zillion utensils, storage items, coffee maker, blender, etc.
The in-room washer and dryer are full-sized and really convenient. Televisions, with all the channels you could ever want, are in both bedrooms and the main room. Fast, free internet gets you streaming. But, you won’t waste your time watching or streaming.
Pukalani is central to Kauai, so getting to Princeville or Waimea Canyon are equally accessible; food shopping (Safeway, Costco, Walmart, etc.) is a 10 minutes drive. And yet, the feeling is you are in a remote hideaway.
We truly love Pukalani. Ron and Alice are great hosts with the best condo at Kauai Lagoons. We think you’ll love this place as well.
