The Royal Sonesta Kauai Resort Lihue
4.3/5102 Reviews

The Royal Sonesta Kauai Resort Lihue

Lihue|1.44km from Nawiliwili Bay
My husband and I just returned from the peaceful, tropical Royal Sonesta Resort. We technically had a pool view, however, our room also had a lovely look at Kalapaki Beach. Our room was in the Ha’upu Tower and I would totally recommend it. The room was a good size( 450 sq. ft.) and the bathroom had a very large, recently remodeled shower, sink and floors with beautifully scented bath products. First, the amenities: we used the jacuzzi ( there are many), and the pool daily. We did not find the pool to be lukewarm, as some have said. Perhaps either the heater was fixed or the warm air had heated it sufficiently. The gym was in the process of a remodel, so the equipment was moved to one of the ballrooms. There was a very good selection of weights, equipment, machines, etc. The room temperature was pleasant and everything looked clean. The gift shop( Lamont’s), was very large and had a great selection of food, drinks, lotions, souvenirs, clothes, etc. with everything looking to be of high quality. Next, the food: Duke’s was so good, we ate there twice! We had mac nut and herb crusted fish, kalbi ribs, teriyaki chicken and hula pie for dessert, among other items. While we did not eat at Kukui’s, we did get the wonderful Kauai coffee to go and they allowed free refills until 1000 am. Nice! We really felt the Sonesta had the “Aloha” spirit and found the employees, whether it was housekeeping, front desk, maintenance, etc. to be kind and helpful. And speaking of housekeeping, they will clean your room daily, if requested-they did for us!😀

Marriott's Kaua'i Beach Club
3.9/5100 Reviews

Marriott's Kaua'i Beach Club

Lihue|1.44km from Nawiliwili Bay
We stayed at Marriott’s Kauai Beach Club, a Marriott Vacation Club property, on our way off the island. We booked an Ocean Front Parlor using hold points and got exactly what we wanted - a clean room with a true ocean view. The card named Carrie as the housekeeper, and she did an amazing job - the room was fully stocked and immaculate. Her hard work & that of other housekeepers earned the 4th star for this rating! We were less than impressed with the other employees we encountered. No one seemed happy to be working there. The bell staff seemed disenchanted, and yes, you have to use bell staff at this location. Front desk staff were not welcoming. In fact, we wanted in line for 20 minutes to check in & were improperly charged occupancy tax for a night that we did not actually occupy the room. We were incorrectly told that we had to check out by 10 am to avoid paying occupancy tax, which we knew to be wrong thanks to being educated in great detail about the occupancy tax law the previous year by the staff at Ko Olina Beach Club. This front desk employee had a real attitude— we chose not to argue with him. His behavior was indicative of the vibe we got from everyone else we encountered there. If not for the outstanding condition of our room, this would be a 2-3 star rating. We don’t plan to return to Marriott’s Kauai Beach Club unless it is the only location available on Kauai when we can travel. There are plenty of other lodging options available in Lihue. They don’t have the excellent beach front location of this resort, though, and the proximity to great restaurants. We might try the Royal Sonesta, though. It’s collocated & actually maintains the pool & grounds. The Royal Sonesta employees we encountered gave off the same type of vibe (disinterested, unhelpful, unwelcoming) as the Marriott Vacation Club staff, though. Just don’t expect a warm welcome at either location.

Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay, HI
4.1/5110 Reviews
Very clean hotel and the roosters that wake you up are simply magnificent ... and then in the hall there is a ball of lard 🐱 which is the most beautiful cat in the world
Plantation Hale Suites
3.7/5103 Reviews
I booked 2 King rooms we asked for early check in, they couldn’t do that because they had been booked up the night before . We came back at 3:00 (which was their check in time) we could only get 1 of the king rooms at that time. She offered us a Double room at that point. I ask when the other king would be ready she said it might be ready around 5 (2 hrs after check in). We had to be ready for a Luau we had booked by 5 so we took the Double room . I asked about a discount for not getting the room we booked ahead for and was told no the the double room rate is more. The rooms are outdated, they look like they start to remodel some but didn’t finish (THE ONLINE PICTURES ARE VERY DECEIVING) . As far as the cleanliness of the rooms that was a laugh for BOTH ROOMS. There is a sigh to take your shoes off it is the Hawaiian way, that’s was another laugh our bare feet never touched the floor. I had to Lysol the bathroom down just to feel somewhat clean. I am sure that it was not COVID cleaned. Oh and the Air Conditioning was a window unit with a make shift vent to the bedroom from the living room in one room and the other room had 2 wall units. (They did work pretty good) One good thing is the fans work well. We did ask for a late check out due to having a late flight home and once again was told they couldn’t because they were booked up again. Then they called and gave us an extra 30 minutes. I find it interesting that most of the most of the rooms looked empty the whole time we were there. VERY DISAPPOINTED

Breakfast: capsule coffee, whole wheat slices and white bread slices (with toaster), apple (whole skin), 1% low fat milk (ice, microwave oven next to capsule coffee machine), orange juice (concentrated orange juice with water) That kind, it is pure, but not nfc craft), grape sauce, butter, a dozen kinds of cereal. The hotel is very environmentally friendly and the tableware is degradable and disposable, so pack it yourself. No extra beds, children, parking, morning yoga classes from 6:30 to 7:30, yoga mats available in the room. The toiletries provided by the hotel are all lemongrass-like. There is no air conditioning. They are big fans, but the lovely island does not need air conditioning. It is very cool. It will be lit by the pool from 6pm to 10pm. There is a bull shed steakhouse in the hotel worth trying. There is a food land, safeway supermarket, there is a gas station at McDonald's, the traffic is simply not too convenient. The kenji burger at the intersection is a patties made with Hawaiian grass-fed beef. It is a family business. Can you eat the boss's mood?
Kauai Shores Hotel
4.3/5104 Reviews
Good access: 10 to 15 minutes drive from the airport. Good for convenience: There were several malls nearby and restaurants, markets and shopping centers were close. Car parking: Overall good, but there is no space after 9pm so you have to use the valet service or walk along the street. Overall, the facilities and location were too good for the price. A hotel that impressed us as a honeycomb.
CASTLE Kaha Lani Resort
4.1/580 Reviews
We stayed in condo 112. I am starting with the Pros..The location was perfect had a beautiful view. The pool and grounds were very nice and well kept. Although the pool could use a little bit of repair and cleaning, there was some what looked like black mold on the grout in the pool, it was very clean overall. The staff at the desk and maintenance people were wonderful, Carey was very quick at handling any issues we had. Now Cons... I had researched ALOT and thought i picked one with a couch that looked relatively comfortable. I am aware of couches that are rattan and also a hide a bed but i guess i will have to be more attentive next time. The matching chairs were not comfortable either. My husband and i have back/leg issues so this was not acceptable. The bed was somewhat comfortable as they had added a foam pad and extra mattress pad. The sliding glass door was very hard to open. The louvered window on one side would not open. The side window louvered windows had pull up wooden curtains, one was broken and you could hardly get it up. The one in the kitchen window was not there, you could see holes where one might have been. We were along a main walkway so people could see in at all times. The one curtains in the bedroom was also broken the backing was shredded hanging down. The unit was relatively clean although the glass shelving inside the door was dirty. The toaster oven looked very worn.. The rug has some stains behind chairs to the left as you walk in. Wish was tile.
Aston Islander on The Beach
4.1/5104 Reviews
I loved my stay here! I rented an ocean-facing, ground floor room and was not disappointed. The sunrise every morning was superb! Everything was close by, food/restaurant options were plenty, and there is a nice long walking path along the ocean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It's hard to rate the ”service” since I was only there for 3 days (they don't clean the rooms unless you stay for 5).
