Koa Kea Resort on Poipu Beach ★★★★★

📍 2251 Poipu Rd, Poipu

"Beautiful location close to the beach. First room we were shown was extremely dark so we asked to change to a different one that didn't require to have the lights on during the day. Restaurant was decent, bed was comfortable. The one time we wanted to spend some time by the pool there weren't any chairs left, so would advise to go early to secure a spot."

9.4 (106 reviews)

Koloa Landing Resort at Poipu, Autograph Collection ★★★★

📍 2641 Poipu Rd, Koloa, Poipu

"Located next to Poipu Beach, the location is very convenient. It has a kitchen, washing machine, and dryer – the kind of place where you can live comfortably. The rooms are generally clean and very nice. The swimming pool is absolutely stunning and worth a visit. Parking is free."

Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa
9.0 (115 reviews)

Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa ★★★★★

📍 1571 Poipu Rd, Poipu

"I was sad because it rained all day, but thanks to this accommodation, Kauai remains a good memory. The courtyard right at the entrance is especially beautiful. The condition was very good, but I wish the service were a bit friendlier."

Hilton Vacation Club the Point at Poipu Kauai
8.7 (102 reviews)

Hilton Vacation Club the Point at Poipu Kauai ★★★★

📍 1613 Pe'e Rd, Poipu

"I booked a two-bedroom, two-bathroom room. The room was very big. The bed in the master bedroom was very big, and the other room had two single beds. One bathroom was very big. The kitchen was fully equipped. There was not much to eat near the hotel, so it was good to stay here, suitable for families who want to cook. There was only one supermarket, Big Save, nearby. But I had to ask not to stay on the first floor when I checked in. At first, I was given a first floor. Because the sound insulation in the room was too poor, I could hear the footsteps on the second floor very clearly. I didn't sleep well all night. I moved to the third floor, the highest floor. The swimming pool was not bad, and you can walk directly to the beach from there."

Banyan Harbor Resort
8.3 (105 reviews)

Banyan Harbor Resort ★★★

📍 3411 Wilcox Rd, Lihue

"The two bedroom condo we got is pretty spacious and clean. Really love the in unit laundry and dryer. The kitchen has lots of untensiles and pots. I wish they could have some cooking oil and peppers as other Airbnb usually do. The check out time is 10:00 am which is unusually early."

"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."

Kauai Shores Hotel Hotels in Kauai

Kauai Shores Hotel

"Location: Conveniently located on the east coast, easy access to both north and south. Beach: Not well-maintained with lots of dead branches, strong waves, and murky water. However, it's a good value, and we didn't really use the hotel beach much since we were out doing activities for most of our stay. Service: Security was decent; they patrolled every night and even reminded us if our door wasn't fully closed. Accommodation: Our assigned room had a moldy smell that got stronger each day. We later realized it was an issue with the air conditioning. On our fifth night, we found several cockroaches, which led us to check out for the remaining two nights. This really impacted our overall experience. Surrounding Facilities: There's a配套广场 (integrated plaza) nearby with places like ABC for dining, which was very convenient, and also a decent Chinese restaurant. Summary: If you have a busy itinerary, this could work as a base, but don't expect too much. Make sure to check if the air conditioning has any issues. The value for money is good."

"We are MVC owners and usually take a yearly trip to Ko Olina on Oahu with our daughter and her family. We decided to try something different this year and booked a 3 bedroom unit at Kauai Lagoons. We were a little apprehensive about the lack of on-site restaurants and no beach access, but as we finish up our week here, everyone agrees that it is one of our favorite vacations ever! Our grandchildren (ages 10, 11 and 11) loved the pool, even though it is small. It was never crowded (over Spring Break!) and we were always able to find shaded lounge chairs. There is a fun little slide. It was like having our own private pool much of the time. There were fun kids’ activities and an activity room next to a very good gym, with a pool table and ping pong. We had a ground floor unit with sliding glass doors that opened completely, so the kids could spill out onto the lawn and play. There were lounge chairs and a table on the generous lanai and BBQ grills just across from our unit. Nice walking trails with lots of wildlife and beautiful tropical plantings. The 3 bedroom unit is extremely spacious, with a gourmet kitchen, 3 bedrooms with king beds, 3 bathrooms, comfortable seating and even a separate laundry room. Tasteful tropical furnishings and artwork. The staff was very welcoming and responded to our every need. We were able to park our car right outside the unit, which we found way more convenient than waiting for a valet to retrieve our car. The resort is only minutes from the airport and shopping. We spent one day at the Kauai Beach Club, just down the drive, on day passes, so we could use their huge pool and spend some time at the beach. The beach is public, so if you don’t care about lounge chairs and umbrellas, there is lots of shade on the grass under he trees. All in all, this was one of the nicest MVC properties we have stayed at, and we plan to make this resort a “regular” on future vacations to Hawaii! We absolutely loved it!"

"Super close to the airport so convenient. No beach access or even beach sounds. Closest beach is a 15 min walk but not a nice one. This is where the cruises lines come. Service is very spotty and impersonal beyond the front desk who are great. Getting towels, elan chairs, drinks at the pool is super spotty. For the price, which was steep, expectations are higher. Bartender asked for a drink to be returned ed so he can fix a poorly made cocktail. I mean, we didn’t touch it beyond the first sip but being a bar owner, that’s a huge no-no. You make a fresh cocktail. Always. Small thing. Didn’t work for us. But A for effort. "

Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay ★★★
"Next to the beach, there is a breakwater for playing in the sea. The location is very convenient. There is a hot spring pool in the swimming pool, which can be used as a hot spring by the elderly. There is also a free laundry room. However, the hotel facilities are a bit old, the windows cannot be opened, and the fresh air blower and air conditioner are very loud. They must be turned off at night, otherwise it feels like sleeping on an airplane."

Aston Islander on The Beach ★★★
"The disadvantage is that we stayed for 4 days, and there was basically no room service. The room was not cleaned, and there was no bottled water. It can basically be regarded as an apartment. The advantage is that the hotel has an unbeatable view. I chose a semi-sea view, and I can see the sea from the balcony. The hotel has a water dispenser (at the front desk) and an ice machine (some rooms are on the first floor)"

Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa ★★★★★
"A typical American garden-style hotel with an elegant lobby and a large-scale three-dimensional swimming pool. There are many types of restaurants to choose from, among which Tidepools restaurant has a unique South Island flavor and is worth recommending. Reservations are required in advance. The room is large, but the facilities are too simple. It is best to bring all personal items with you. The overall evaluation is simple and luxurious."
