Kauai Palms Hotel ★★

"Nice, friendly service, well located and close to the airport, 24-hour laundry and shopping malls nearby"

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."

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."

TIP Top Motel ★★

"For this island one of the cheaper options, still actually too expensive for the "quality" you get. In itself clean room, only the tap in the bathroom did not work so we had to be in the shower every time for water. There were also some shady figures hanging around the accommodation which made us feel not completely safe. This was probably unnecessary, in any case nothing happened. Also had a cockroach in the room, but that is probably not easy to prevent with the humid weather on an island. If you have the air conditioning on you can hardly hear each other, but without it gets very stuffy. A fan above the bed would be a nice addition."

Marriott's Kauai Lagoons - Kalanipu'u ★★★★★

"The Marriott Vacation Club at Kauai lagoons is not all it seems to be. While the time share is beautiful, it is virtually isolated. The pool is very small. There is no access to a bar on the property. The same is with food - - no access on the property. Also, the property does not have a beach. Lastly, there is no access to the nearby hotel (and restaurants) from the property other than a personal car, as walking is long and tedious, especially if one has any difficulty walking. There was, at one time, access via a cart furnished by the property (Marriott). There is none now. While I expressed my concerns to the management, I was advised that all my complaints (see the foregoing) have been made many times before and nothing will be done about them. So, if one does not have a car and has difficulty walking, one is virtually stranded at the Lagoons. On all of our previous visits we at least had a golf cart furnished by Marriott to get us to the restaurants at the hotel on the property. The Marriott Vacation Club website does not mention any of the foregoing. Potential visitors should be made aware of the property shortcomings. Clearly, Marriott has the financial ability to fix the aforementioned issues, but they refuse to do so. Bottom Line: this is the LAST time I will visit this property."

Banyan Harbor Resort ★★★

"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."

Timbers Kauai Ocean Club & Residences ★★★★★

"We were met by the host with cold towels and juice but we were not invited to the neighboring lounge that made it embarrassing to wipe sweat in front of everyone. Our host did not include a complete tour, just comments along the way to our room. For example, we were told that we could order food and drinks using a QR code at the tables. It doesn’t exist. We were told there was a grill at the pool. It turns out that it was a pool toy depot only. We were told there were electric bikes available. It turns out it’s for owners only. Our sea view room was pool chairs and bushes, no view. The seaside Infinity pool had a sign that said ”Owners and Their Registered Guests Only”. So no resort experience there. We ordered food in advance to stock our refrigerator including 3 six packs of water. We receive 3 cases of water and we left two full cases when we departed. About on-third of our order was not fulfilled. The restaurant was a highlight. Great sea food and we ate there 5 times. There was also great musical entertainment. It’s weird, not once did a manager ask about our experience. It’s definitely not a Michelin star experience. The best part was going off the resort including golf. The golf staff was wonderful. We chose Timbers to determine if we should invest as owners given the reciprocal world wide opportunities. It’s not very refined."
