Thanks for the feedback on Waiohai; your observations jive with what we've heard from other timeshare owners and exchangers. We'll definitely visit Kauai Beach Club while on the island. We enjoy cooking local dishes for ourselves while vacationing and I was a bit hesitant about the Beach Club kitchens, as my understanding is that the units were made out of 2 hotel rooms and had limited kitchens. I do love snorkeling and underwater photography and had heard that Poipu is where to go for that; these two items are what tilted us towards Waiohai, which was much tougher trade than the Beach Club.
We'll see
