"It's clean and very comfortable. Free amenities include shampoo and body lotion. Toothbrushes are not provided, so you'll need to bring your own. Hair dryers can be rented at the front desk. The front desk is open until 9pm, so you'll need to shower early. The location is great, and adult bicycles are also available for free rental. They also have delicious pound cakes at the front desk. The front desk staff are very friendly and kind. The breakfast shop below is definitely worth a try. It's delicious."

Find Your Perfect Stay in Kauai by Travel Style

The Royal Sonesta Kauai Resort Lihue Hotels in Kauai

The Royal Sonesta Kauai Resort Lihue

"Advantages: Good location, close to the airport, spacious and comfortable rooms, beautiful environment. Problems: 1. A huge cockroach was found in the bathroom. 2. The hotel cleans the room every two days. It was cleaned on the second day, and no cleaning was needed before check-out on the third day, but a staff member knocked on the door demanding cleaning as soon as I woke up. Their attitude was aggressive. It's outrageous."

1 Hotel Hanalei Bay Hotels in Kauai

1 Hotel Hanalei Bay

"A true paradise! Incredible views from both the lobby and the room! The food selection in the poolside restaurants is limited, but the quality is very good! The spa is gorgeous and the treatments are incredible! I definitely recommend the traditional Hawaiian massage!"

Timbers Kauai Ocean Club & Residences Hotels in Kauai

Timbers Kauai Ocean Club & Residences

"The absolute best place I have ever stayed!! Phenomenal food, amazing accommodations, incredible views, great facilities!"

Marriott's Kauai Lagoons - Kalanipu'u Hotels in Kauai

Marriott's Kauai Lagoons - Kalanipu'u

"Simply Spectacular. On a promontory overlooking the mountains surrounding Kalapaki Beach on Kaua’i and the great Pacific beyond, these villas were originally created as residences, but are now available by Marriott for rent. The rooms are in fact big 2 & 3 bedroom villas immaculately furnished with full kitchens and washer/dryers. Literally , a home in Paradise. There are two medium sized pools and a well-equipped fitness centre. Staff are courteous and helpful. You really need a car here to get to shops and restaurants and of course, to explore the beautiful ‘Garden Isle’. I promise you will not be disappointed."

Hilton Vacation Club the Point at Poipu Kauai Hotels in Kauai

Sheraton Kauai Coconut Beach Resort Hotels in Kauai

"The pillow smelled musty. The location and beach were great."

The Cliffs at Princeville Hotels in Kauai

The Cliffs at Princeville

"Very good suite, facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the utensils. You can drive 10 minutes to Foodland to buy it and cook it yourself, just like at home."

Plantation Hale Suites Hotels in Kauai

Plantation Hale Suites

"Location is great and the property is extremely clean and quiet. Our room was very outdated ( early 80's for furniture, carpet, bathroom) but clean and everything worked. It was spacious but bare minimum in kitchen for supplies, the coffee pot is super tiny. My only complaint is you can't extend your stay for late check out or additional day, that really impacts people on hikes and etc. We had to pack our stuff out (530am) and couldn't do late check out to come back to pack and shower. The young desk clerks stated policy for late check out was call morning of after 9am. That's ridiculous because most tourist are traveling across island exploring early. We asked at 815pm night before and staff couldn't give us late check out for next day, that's a deal breaker for us coming back to this property and was absolutely not willing to check or call management, for this reason I would avoid property if you have early tours or adventures. No one wants to pack out 5am without opportunity for late check out."

Marriott's Kaua'i Beach Club Hotels in Kauai

Marriott's Kaua'i Beach Club

"It's rather old. The main issue is that the photos make it seem like there's a sofa and a bed, but the bed is actually a pull-down wardrobe bed with the sofa cushions removed. The air conditioner is very loud, and the sea view is obstructed."

Marriott's Waiohai Beach Club Hotels in Kauai

Marriott's Waiohai Beach Club

"This resort is in a perfect location on the southern coast of Kauai. The trade winds blow consistently to keep you cool. The beach provides great snorkeling and swimming. Our villa was in the perfect location, upper floor facing the ocean overlooking the main pool. It was very quiet except for a Minah bird on one morning. Kitchen is well equipped but we did request a non-stick pan and rice maker. Perking is underground so cars stay cool in hot Hawaiian sun. One of the best resort fitness centers we’ve been too. Lots of machines and space. We’d stay here again in another trip to Kauai"

The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas Hotels in Kauai

The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas

"This hotel is fantastic! It's a villa-style hotel with everything you could need in the room: a washer and dryer, laundry detergent and dryer sheets, a kitchen, and a dishwasher—very convenient. The environment is also great, the pool and hot spring are nice, and the restaurant service is excellent. The food selection is average, but that's typical for white people, I guess. Overall, it exceeded my expectations, and I really enjoyed the hotel."

Sheraton Kauai Resort Hotels in Kauai

Sheraton Kauai Resort

"Terrible service, and it's awful that if you ask to stay a little longer on your way out they charge you $50 per hour!!!"

Sheraton Kauai Resort Villas ★★★★
"This was the best hotel we stayed at during our trip, and also the most expensive at over $4000 a night! The environment, service, and facilities were all top-notch. Free parking and an unbeatable view were major pluses. The room came with a washing machine, dryer, electric stove, microwave, and a complete set of kitchenware and dishes. This was a wonderful surprise for us, as there really aren't many good food options on Kauai. We bought some groceries at the supermarket and cooked several meals ourselves, which was great. It saved us a lot of money and even cured our 'Chinese stomach'! If the price were closer to $1000 a night, I'd happily stay here for a whole month."

Koloa Landing Resort at Poipu, Autograph Collection ★★★★
"The room was very big. The front desk upgraded the room for my honeymoon with my husband. There was a microwave, induction cooker and washing machine and dryer in the room, so I could wash my clothes immediately after snorkeling every day. It was very convenient. In addition, I signed up for a speedboat tour in the morning. I didn't have time to eat breakfast in the hotel, so I quickly made a meal in the room. Behind the hotel is the famous sunset wall where you can watch the sunset. The only regret is that I saw a dead big cockroach in the room on the last day of my stay..."

Kauai Shores Hotel ★★★
"This time that I stayed, there was not the best room. This is my fourth time staying there and the last trip I got to stay in the remodeled rooms which were great. This last trip. I stayed in the older one and the room was pretty stinky smelling like mildew, but it was just for one night "

Serene Atmosphere: It was quiet and peaceful throughout our entire stay, making it the perfect place to unwind. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!"

Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa ★★★★★
"A decent resort hotel with top-notch facilities, but the service wasn't particularly impressive since you're mostly responsible for your own needs. There are many swimming pools and a beach pool, but the waves are too big to swim in. The rooms are spacious, and the laundry facilities are fully equipped. Overall, a good experience. However, I wouldn't recommend coming in February, as the weather is often bad – windy and rainy."

Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay ★★★
"It was raining when we got there so needless to say, we were ankle deep in water trying to get to our cottage.  The tub drained very slowly so again ankle deep in bath water taking a shower.  The swimming pool is small and it looked either dirty or moldy, I don’t know hard to tell, but I didn’t see anyone use it while I was there.  The staff were super nice, though so that was good!"
