"Great. "

"The Royal Sonesta Kaua’i Resort Lihue stands out as one of the most relaxing and beautifully maintained resorts on the island. From the moment you arrive, the staff set the tone with genuine Hawaiian hospitality—warm welcomes, easy check-in, and a true sense of care throughout your stay. The property itself is stunning, set right along Kalapaki Bay with lush gardens, open-air spaces, and the largest single-level pool on Kauai. The rooms are spacious, immaculate, and tastefully designed with island-inspired decor. Many have ocean or garden views that make mornings here unforgettable. Dining options are excellent, particularly for breakfast and sunset dinners. Duke’s Kauai, right on the property, is consistently fantastic, offering fresh local seafood and a relaxed beachside vibe. If you’re not dining, lounging by the massive pool or strolling the bay at sunset easily ranks as a highlight. Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. You’re minutes from the Lihue Airport, making arrivals and departures effortless, yet it still feels worlds away from the bustle. Whether you’re spending a few nights before exploring the island or staying for a full week of rejuvenation, the Royal Sonesta balances resort luxury with local charm perfectly. Highly recommended for couples, families, or anyone seeking a classic Kauai experience with top-tier comfort and friendly service. I’ll definitely be returning."

"We really liked the central location to the town and airport. Easy access to the restaurant for breakfast. The internet was a little slow but so was data access on Tmobile. Often switching to LTE. So it is what it is. Area was older, hotel buildings also, but honestly that is what we were expecting. It is Kauai after all. The price was one of the better ones out there when not looking to go to a resort or pay resort prices. We would go back not expecting it to change much. That being the appeal for us."
