Nicest Wyndham property

Question

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.

X posted in Kauai forum.

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!

Answer

If you’re looking to use Wyndham points for a stay on Kauai or the Big Island, there are several properties that generally receive positive reviews for cleanliness, ocean views, and proximity to swimmable beaches. Since you’ll have a car, you can focus on locations that offer both convenience and a good beach experience without being restricted to walking distance only.

Wyndham Properties on Kauai

Wyndham Bali Hai Villas (Princeville)
Located on Kauai’s north shore, this property has ocean views and is very close to Hanalei Bay, which has a swimmable beach. The condos are spacious, and guests report good cleanliness and comfortable amenities. You’ll also have easy access to Princeville’s restaurants and shops.
Wyndham Kona Hawaiian Resort (Poipu)
Note: there are no Wyndham-branded resorts in south Kauai exactly named this, but the Poipu area has several Wyndham-affiliated condo options nearby. Poipu Beach is swimmable and family-friendly, with restaurants within a short drive.
Wyndham Garden Kalapaki Beach (Lihue)
This is close to Lihue town and Kalapaki Beach, which is good for swimming. Convenient for grocery stores, restaurants, and rental car pickup.

Wyndham Properties on the Big Island

Wyndham Kona Hawaiian Resort
Located in Kailua-Kona, this resort has oceanfront rooms and is a short drive from town for dining and activities. While not directly on a huge sandy beach, the small shoreline is good for wading, and you’re minutes from beaches like Magic Sands.
Wyndham Mauna Loa Village (Waikoloa)
These condos are in the Waikoloa Beach Resort area. Some units have ocean views or partial views, and it’s a short drive to swimmable beaches like Anaehoomalu Bay. Also close to restaurants, shops, and golf.
Wyndham Vacation Resorts Royal Garden at Waikoloa
Also in Waikoloa, this property offers spacious condos, ocean views from some units, and easy access to shopping and beaches.

Tips for Booking

Check which units offer direct oceanfront or ocean-view rooms, as some Wyndham properties are set back a bit from the shoreline. Oceanfront can be a small premium in points.
Confirm the beach access and safety for swimming. Not all “beachfront” locations have swimmable areas, so review local maps or reviews for best spots.
Read recent guest reviews about cleanliness and amenities. Even highly rated resorts can have individual units that vary, especially condo complexes.
Since you have a rental car, you can prioritize views and amenities over proximity to restaurants — many great beaches on both islands require a short drive.

Overall, on Kauai the Princeville area (north shore) or Poipu (south shore) are the top picks, while on the Big Island, Kona and Waikoloa Beach Resort areas tend to provide the best combination of ocean access, views, and convenience for dining and activities.
