Nicest Wyndham property

I’m looking to stay at a Wyndham property on either Kauai or the big island using Wyndham points. It could be a condo complex or hotel.

Does anyone know of some nice properties on either island? Criteria: near swimmable beach, plus if it is oceanfront/view, clean, convenient location (ie near restaurants, activities). We will be renting a car. Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

Wyndham has several properties on both Kauai and the Big Island, and choosing the “nicest” one often depends on whether you prefer a full resort feel or a condo-style stay. Since you’re looking for a swimmable beach, oceanfront views, cleanliness, and convenient location, here are some top options to consider:

Kauai:

  • Wyndham Bali Hai Villas – Located on Kauai’s north shore in Princeville. While not directly on a large swimmable beach, it has great ocean views and is close to Hanalei Bay, which is swimmable during summer months. The condos are spacious and have kitchen facilities.
  • Club Wyndham Kauai Beach Villas – Located on the east coast in Lihue. Offers direct oceanfront units with easy beach access. The property is older but has been updated in parts, and it’s convenient to restaurants and shopping in Kapaa and Lihue.
  • Wyndham Resort at Poipu Beach – If available via points, this south shore location provides direct access to Poipu Beach, which is swimmable year-round. Great for snorkeling and sunbathing, and there are nearby restaurants and activities.

Big Island:

  • Wyndham Kona Hawaiian Resort – Located in Kailua-Kona. This property has oceanfront units with some direct access to swimmable areas. Close to Kona town’s restaurants, shops, and historic sites. Pool and condo amenities are a plus.
  • Club Wyndham Mauna Loa Village – Near Waikoloa Beach Resort. Offers large condo units, access to swimmable beaches, and is very convenient if you plan to explore the Kohala Coast. Restaurants and shops are nearby within the resort area.
  • Wyndham Waikoloa Village – Also on the Kohala Coast, with extensive resort amenities, pools, and lagoon swimming areas. Ocean views are plentiful, and the property is convenient for driving to both north and south points of the island.

Tips:

  • Check the swimmability of nearby beaches seasonally, as some north shore beaches can have strong surf in winter.
  • Book early using Wyndham points since oceanfront and upgraded units can be limited.
  • Consider whether you prefer a full resort experience with amenities or a quieter condo-style stay for more independence.

Overall, on Kauai, Club Wyndham Kauai Beach Villas and Wyndham Bali Hai Villas are popular for their ocean views and condo-style stays, while on the Big Island, Wyndham Kona Hawaiian Resort and the Waikoloa properties offer a good mix of beach access, convenience, and amenities.
