it was a ok place, good view of bay, pool area good place, beach (public) clean and fun. .pool area is loud though waterfalls and fountains running sounds like your inside a washing machine : ) and kids pool next to building so kids screaming / playing echos around well.
staff was a hit and miss - some awesome, some dont bother me tourist.
maint: mostly clean. some areas around property have floor issues broken tiles.... elevators floor dirty seems no one assigned to clean them.
rooms: good view, and nice place for a week.... Food on site: its so so. prices are insane for what you get and quality is fast food at best.
grounds are part of Marriott timeshare they have majority rooms/buildings.
parking expensive and can be far. next to hotel building has small parking good weekdays / weekend locals use for beach too. so main parking lot next to mariot buildings otherside of property.
water/bay..... bay gets a cruise ship once a week(ish). sits in view of mountains partially they are still awesome / pretty.
beach is clean and several volleyball courts, water has good wave action and steep sand incline. so can boogie board. and play in sand with kids.

This hotel has the biggest pool on the island and by far the best for family of kids. Their pool is near the beach and has calmer tides for kids to play in. FYI, there are no lifeguards on site at the beach. The hotel is also located near nearby shops and restaurants. There are more local eatery spots that offer authentic island food and not at the hotel price. Rooms are generally clean and most staff members showed enthusiasm while engaging with customers. Breakfast at the hotel was okay. The balcony is large enough and simple for two guest. We had the ocean and hotel pool view which was perfect. If you’re looking for just the grand view, the Grand Hyatt Resort in Poipu would be the best bet, but if you’re looking for a solid family time with local flavor then I recommend the Royal Sonesta.

Staff, food and location were very good
Downsides for me would be alternate day room cleaning , minimal umbrellas at the pool, outdoor car parking $30 day ( seems a bit steep even for Hawaii) and no facilities to change or shower on final day post check out

Very nice stay came over to help residents of Kauai after hurricane Lowell finish my assignment early. Left a day earlier to spend time with my family. Plan to bring my family back the next time.
