We have heard that the Kauai property is set back from the ocean a bit, but are the closest parts still within visual and audible range?
We usually sleep with the lanai doors open if our room catches the trades. If so, the crashing of the waves can keep you up at night. You don't have to worry about hearing the ocean from any of the rooms, particularly in the Poipu wing. You'll also be able to see the ocean from just about any room in that wing.
