Searching for the best Poipu Hotels? This post is going to show you the top 5 best Poipu hotels on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
The name Poipu means "crashing waves" and refers to the resort beach community on the southern side of the island of Kauai. Poipu beach is often rated one of the best beaches in Hawaii, in fact, the Travel Channel has rated it one of the 10 best beaches in the U.S.
Due to the coral reef buffering the waves, the beach at Poipu is very calm and a popular destination for families.

The number of activities available in Poipu are endless, there's air tours, atv tours, biking, hiking, golf, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, zip lines, surfing, spas, nightlife, shopping, oh and of course you can just veg out on the beach too!
