Club Wyndham Lawai Beach Resort

The Resort and Its Setting

Club Wyndham Lawai Beach Resort is part of the Club Wyndham points system, built on Kauai's south shore in Koloa. The south shore is the island's driest corner, which is one reason it has long been a favourite base for travellers who want dependable beach days rather than the rainier, greener north shore experience. Owners here hold Club Wyndham points, which can be used flexibly across the wider Wyndham collection rather than tying them to a fixed week at a single property, and the resort carries an RCI affiliation, giving members access to the RCI exchange network for trading their time elsewhere.

Koloa and the South Shore

Koloa itself is a former plantation town with a compact historic centre of shops, galleries and local restaurants, and it's the natural starting point for exploring this stretch of Kauai. Poipu Beach, around 3km away, is the area's best-known swimming spot, with calm water and regular sea turtle sightings. Spouting Horn, a blowhole that sends seawater shooting through a lava shelf, is about 8km away. Inland and uphill, Kukuiolono Park offers quiet walking trails and wide views back over the coast, while Wailomo Falls, a little further out, rewards a short tropical walk with a proper waterfall. None of this is manufactured resort entertainment — it's the island doing what it already does well, which is exactly what draws repeat visitors back to this part of Kauai.

Selling or Renting Out a Week Here

If you own at Club Wyndham Lawai Beach Resort and are thinking about moving on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week or points, you set your own asking price, interested buyers contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — just a one-time listing fee to get your ad live. That keeps more of the sale price in your pocket compared with a brokered resale.

Before you list, it's worth knowing what actually happens on the Club Wyndham side. According to Club Wyndham, ownership changes carry a $399 processing charge to re-register the contract in the buyer's name — this is separate from whatever price you and the buyer agree between yourselves. Wyndham's own resale guidance also makes clear that resale points do not carry VIP status, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion or PlusPartners — a buyer gets the underlying points and the RCI exchange ability, but not those extra brand perks. Owner reports suggest that only some Club Wyndham Access contracts, generally those from around 2017 onward, carry a right of first refusal, and that it's rarely exercised in practice; treat this as something to check on your specific contract rather than assume either way. Typical transfer times aren't published by Wyndham, so it's sensible to ask directly what turnaround to expect once a sale is agreed.

For renters, the appeal of a week here is straightforward: a south-shore Kauai base near Poipu's beaches, with the practicalities (unit size, view, season) set by whatever week or points allocation the owner is offering.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Sellers

Anyone buying resale should budget for the $399 ownership change fee on top of the purchase price, and should ask the seller about current annual maintenance fees, since these aren't fixed figures and vary by points allocation. Renting a car is close to essential on Kauai, since the south shore's attractions — Poipu, Spouting Horn, Koloa Town, the inland parks — are spread out enough that you'll want your own schedule. Highway 50 traffic can slow things down around commute hours, so build in some buffer when planning day trips.
