Castle Kaha Lani , a Condominium Resort

A wonderful 14 day visit from beginning to end! We arrived after dark on March 2nd and the after hours check in was easy and very user friendly. When we awoke on our first morning we were impressed and exceedingly pleased with the beautiful ocean view that greeted us from our lanai. We very much enjoyed the most excellent sunrises that we enjoyed day after day! The grounds were clean and well maintained and the pool was also clean and inviting. Enjoyed chatting with other guests and were amused by several very well behaved children that were enjoying the pool as well. The short walk to Lydgate beach was nice when we wanted to enjoy being in the ocean. Parking was quite ample and the condo unit itself was nicely equipped for when we elected to dine in.The trade winds breeze kept us cool enough that we didn't miss having air conditioning. The chickens and roosters that so many of the reviews on this place complained about were never a problem. (It isn't like anything can/could be done about them anyway since they're legally protected.) Thoroughly enjoyed exploring the island attractions (Zodiac whale watching and the Napali sunset dinner cruise, to name a couple) and multiple eateries (despite the sticker shock at the prices on some of the menus). We have nothing negative to say about this place or our stay on Kauai and would book again in a heartbeat at Castle Casa Lani if we return to Kauai.

Pros: Unit had great ice maker, central location, good ocean view, feral cats by beach were a plus for us. Cons: No dishwasher, no in-unit clothes washer

This is an excellent ocean front property. We had a two bedroom and it had laundry facilities in the unit----a plus. Not sure that is true for all the units. The only luxury that this resort didn't have was air conditioning----fans in every room with a nice ocean breeze. They were painting the outside while we were there, which seemed a little strange and they were suppose to spray for insects inside which they say they do periodically on the island.

The view from our oceanfront unit was stunning. We could walk right out to the beach and watch the sunrise every morning. The grounds were well maintained and our condo felt like a home away from home. Kaha Lani is within walking distance to Lydgate Beach and centrally located for driving anywhere on the island. There is no air conditioning, but that just adds to the island feel. We didn’t want to leave!

I liked the ocean view. I didn't not like that there was no air conditioner.

The view was amazing , walk down to lydgate beach , family friendly beach. A place to return.

Immaculate, uncrowded and a few yards from miles of lovely beaches! This condo complex is a hidden gem. Everyone drives past Lydgate on the highway heading for more famous places not realizing what they are missing. Centrally located on the island, Lihue, North and South shores are within reach. This is a great choice.

Super quiet, peaceful location. Lydgate Park is beautiful with great trails, vibe and local scene. Great grounds, central to everything. Staff are super kind and helpful!

It was very clean and steps from the beach. The pool area was well kept. The staff were wonderful. It was unusually humid during our stay and the lack of at least a bedroom air conditioner was the only minus.

All door knobs were rusted on the outside, couldn’t open kitchen curtains, trust me I tried and the window sill started to separate from the frame. Couldn’t close the bamboo “curtains” as one side was rusted and broken. I get that it’s on an island and things get worn down quicker but the management company should make sure the owners are keeping up on the units. I spent less money staying at banyon harbor and it was 100 times nicer. I highly recommend that you stay elsewhere and if you just have to stay here make sure you’re not in unit 102.

Arrived At ten pm with a full moon over the ocean and the security guard waiting on us. Everyone was great from there on. I wanted to buy a unit there but none for sale. Not surprising. Put my name on the list.

Room is clean but the beds and pillows were awful.

Awesome view! Only wish they had AC in the unit. The trade winds provide a nice breeze though. Bed isnt a a queen but comfy enough

If you want to get up at 1 AM this is the place for you. If you want a nice relaxing vacation stay away from this place. The rosters are out of control and the condominium staff will do nothing about it. We complained and the reply was you will get use to it. Well we didn't This island if full of rosters and nobody will do anything about it. So if you want to relax do not go here. You sit out on the deck the rosters are crowing. You hang out at the pool the rosters are crowing. Not a relaxing place at all. Very disappointed

We were very happy with our room and comfort of our bed. The pool was great, the beach was great, the barbecue by the pool we used at least twice. Being able to wash clothes was a plus since we were often dirty or salty. My only complaint is the roosters everywhere that wake you up

The room had an excellent view and was spacious. Having the half bath in addition to the en-suite was very convenient. Having the beach outside our back patio was amazing. We were very satisfied with our stay and the value was great.

Checked in Saturday September 24th. Paid an additional $119 for cleaning fee. Vaguely remembered this from when we booked on Orbitz, so no big deal. Went and checked our room because location even from parking lot wasn't quite what we expected. My mom and cousin reported back that the room condition was really nothing like the pictures online. Went to talk to front desk staff who informed us that she could email the General Manager but that nothing could be done that day. Got a little short with me when I was explaining that room did not match pics online. Apparently that's not their fault since these are individually owned condos. Okay... The room wasn't horrible except the bedroom carpets were stained and looked pretty gross. Positive: the kitchen was amazingly well stocked. On second day stopped by front desk to say it wasn't necessary to move as we'd already unpacked and grocery shopped. Also it was our second attempt that day to reach a front desk person so it was already around 11 and we wanted to get on with our day. Front desk person was AMAZINGLY nice. GM did send short email to my mom but it was a little late. Third day we stopped by to get new pool towels as we'd been instructed the day before. Front desk clerk was unfriendly and said I needed to bring dirty towels to front desk before new towels could be issued. I explained we were not told that before. Wasn't going to budge. So with the car packed with our party I had to run back to room for towels. Bro

This is our third time staying at Kaha Lani with our now five year old. We appreciate that the condo is a short walk to two parks, and a protected ocean swimming area with lifeguard (Lydgate park). There's a nice swimming pool on site as well as BBQ grills & laundry machines (convenient). It's easy to stay here with young children. The unit we were given this time was tired, paintings faded, bright green carpet was crunchy (probably Scotch Guard.....I hope!). Our last trip the unit was updated and fresh with a beautiful tile floor so this time we were a bit saddened. We don't remember a cleaning fee last time but this time we were charged a cleaning fee in addition to the taxes that are not part of the room price quote (we expected the taxes).
