D10 at Kauai Beach Villas is a mixed experience. We’ve stayed at KBV several times before, in a different unit. We like the resort quite a bit. Unfortunately, the property is experiencing some structural issues with buildings G and H. The timeshare owners are currently deciding whether to pay a $56 million dollar assessment or to sell the property, so the future of KBV isn’t certain.
Vacasa’s D10 was a disappointment. The on-island manager doesn’t have great communication. We sent two messages asking for info. One had a reply within a couple of days, but the other… Not so much. Vacasa Corporate tried to get the answers, too. We had wanted the twin beds pushed together, and were told that would be done. It wasn’t.
The kind bed in the master bedroom is a noisy, noisy bed. Roll over, and it creaks. Do anything more vigorous, and you worry about waking up the neighbors. It’s a cheap bed frame on a hard floor.
The furniture is cheap. It’s not comfortable at all. The couch isn’t the same as depicted in the photos. It’s now a hide-a-bed that does a remarkable impression of concrete-covered fabric.
The feel of the unit is odd. They tried to make it feel upscale, but it’s more like a cheap veneer. Everything seems to have two priorities: Ease of cleaning and appearing fancy.
Cleaning was another problem. The floor hadn’t been vacuumed when we arrived. Grit all over the bare feet. The coffee maker was full of mold.
The AC unit is quite loud.
