Situated within the prestigious Poipu-Kai resort on the South Shore of Kauai, featuring 70 acres of tropical gardens, Hale Kipa Regency introduces you to relaxation Kauai style. It is just a short walk through the resort grounds to Shipwreck beach or Poipu Beach Park (a snorkeler's paradise). The resort has nine tennis courts. There is a shop for all your tennis needs, including rentals. After the game relax in one of the Jacuzzi spas or swimming pools. You can barbecue your "catch of the day" in one of the well-maintained grills near the pool.

Kauai Beaches: Poipu Kai resort fronts on two well known beaches... .Shipwreck Beach and Brennecke Beach, each an excellent bodysurfing beach. Next to Brennecke beach is Poipu Beach Park, rated the best beach in North America for four years running. It features a sheltered "baby beach" for toddlers and parents, a fully equipped children's playground, and a great snorkeling and swimming beach with every variety of tropical fish usually only seen in aquariums. Surfing is also an excellent option at Poipu Beach with a surf shop and board rentals just across the street from the beach.

 

Kauai Golfing: There are two championship 18-hole courses available near the resort: The Kiahuna Golf Course and the prestigious Poipu Bay Resort Course. Guests need to arrange with the individual courses for tee times. Within driving distance are several other courses in Princefille, Kalaheo, and Kapa'a.

 

Kauai Restaurants: Brennecke's restaurant is a great place for lunch or dinner at the beach; good burgers, fish and drinks. They have a great crab meal for dinner. Don't forget Lapperts' ice cream for a real treat. It's fresh made in Hanapepe and definitely a landmark destination. They are located throughout the island: Hanapepe, Poipu (just a couple of miles from the house), Hanapepe, Kalaheo, and Kapa'a, etc.

 

When you want to get dressed up and go to a really nice restaurant there are three to choose from at the Hyatt resort next that are definitely world class. It's just East down Poipu Rd. about 3/4 of a mile from the condo. Incidentally getting dressed up in Kauai for a guy entails a nice pair of shorts and a breezy Hawaiian shirt and sandals. The ladies usually wear something slinky and cool with heels. Get her a nice lei for the occasion (Star Market or in Koloa at the Big Save). We really enjoy the Hyatt's Ilima Terrace restaurant (especially Sunday brunch), but there are two others just as nice: Dondero's (fine Italian food), and Tide Pools (Seafood). They also have a wonderful island Luau once a week complete with Hawaiian entertainment. After dinner take a slow stroll around the grounds. The Hyatt continually gets awards for the beauty of its resort. Check out the torch lighting ceremony and the Hula show at the Seaview Terrace evenings around 6:00. The ladies may want to take advantage of the Anara Spa. It's open to the public and they offer wonderful massages, facials, exercise classes, etc.

 

Island activities: For the shoppers there are some very nice boutiques in the Poipu Village shopping center just West on Poipu Road. There are also boutique shops at the surrounding resorts, e.g., Hyatt, Sheraton and the Marriott. Food shopping is nearby at the Big Save supermarket in Koloa, just a couple of miles up the bypass road. If you are energetic and want some exercise Kauai offers a great series of hikes and drives, some with breathtaking views. Try the hike along the beach and cliffs east past the Hyatt. It is about 4 miles and the reward is a wonderful white sand beach. There is a spectacular hike/drive up the Waimea Canyon (the grand canyon of the Pacific). At the end of the road hike the trail about 4 miles which will take you to a lookout over the Na Pali Coast. Also refer to the Kauai Guide Book located in the house for more fun things to do.

"Great accommodations!  We found that Big Save was the best store to go to. We also found that Poipu Beach was the best on the island, and within walking distance!"

"Thank you so much for letting us stay here for our 1 year anniversary.  We had the best time and loved the condo! We went to Joe's on the Green like you said three times!!  Lappert's ice cream was awesome too!  We had a blast jumping off Kipu Falls and the views from Waimea Canyon were unbelievable!  We even went scuba diving! ..... Joe and Cara

 

"We enjoyed seeing monk seals and turtles at Poipu Beach!  Also the lovely spacious condo..... great breezes at night and the birdsong in the morning was heavenly!"

 

"We had a great time.  I think we did most of the items on your list of things to do.  It was also nice meeting you and enjoyed our visit.....  We will certainly recommend your hale to anyone who goes to Kauai.  I wish we lived closer to Kauai as it was our best visit to the Islands.

Aloha,"
