Just finished a week long stay at this property. I will echo what the others have said, the club has really downgraded their offerings at both breakfast and dinner hour service. As someone who stays at this property yearly, I skipped my 2017 visit, but I was kinda surprised at just how much the offerings were devalued.
That being said, what brings me back is the location. I typically don't even visit during the dinner offering time as there are plenty of good choices in Poipu. I used a suite upgrade and got an amazing corner suite, on the first floor. I guess they call it partial ocean view because its on the first floor, but I was not complaining at all.
I understand people's complaints about this property, but I wouldn't stay at the St. Regis due to the location, and the pools at the GH really are better IMO. I think its really a matter of personal preference, which for me is really preferring Poipu, and Kauai in general.
