Kauai Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly just a great stay! All the staff were super nice and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. We used the fire pit for some s’mores and also enjoyed the free Photo Booth inside the lobby!"

Aston Islander on the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome place! Right on the water!"

Kaua'i Palms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This property was very clean and the location was just where I needed to be. Rini, Front Desk, was most helpful and welcoming. She helped with all my questions and was accommodating with my needs."

Waimea Plantation Cottages, a Coast Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved it here!!! We would live here if we could. It’s an amazing and special place. We loved the vibe so much. It is a very peaceful and beautiful place. The cottages are so charming, being from the original plantation, with hardwood floors and metals roofs. The main building, where registration and the restaurant was, is also an old building and very charming. The modern kitchen in the cottage was great. It had everything we needed. We cooked meals twice a day. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was huge with a shower and a separate tub. There was air conditioning. The landscaping was so beautiful, with the old trees, the flowers and the grass. The pool was lovely. We were in it almost everyday. The black sand beach, even though not swimable, was wonderful to walk every evening, especially at sunset. We would also sit at the beach edge, in lounge chairs, and watch the sunset. Each cottage has their own lanai with table and chairs. We would sit on our lanai every day, listening to the birds and the waves. There are no chickens here so no roosters crowing 24/7 which was lovely. Each cottage has its own parking spots. All the staff very friendly. They responded very quickly with a maintenance question. If you want to get away from the huge crowds of the bigger resorts and enjoy the peace and quiet of an old plantation, this is it. There is no other place on Kauai like this place. We would stay again in a heartbeat."

Kauai Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It’s definitely old, but beautiful and quaint. It was a great time and would stay again 10/10"

Sheraton Kauai Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. Fantastic views. Awesome beach. Lava’s was our favorite!!!"

Hotel Coral Reef

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel"

OUTRIGGER Kauaʻi Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"I recently stayed at OUTRIGGER Kauaʻi Beach Resort & Spa and would give it 4 stars. The property was very clean, beautiful, and well-maintained. My room was spacious, clean, and the bed was comfortable. The location is convenient to the airport and several attractions, and there is a restaurant on the property. I also enjoyed the drinks from the bar! The resort is currently undergoing construction, so depending on where you are, you may hear some loud noise. It didn't really bother me, it was more of a “wow, that's loud” moment. I understand that work needs to be done, and the construction workers were very professional and respectful. They kept to themselves and never made guests feel uncomfortable, even when people were walking around in swimsuits. I did walk down to the beach, but there wasn't really anywhere to lay out, and the waves were too large for swimming during my stay. Part of the pool area was also closed, although I'm not sure why. My only real issue was housekeeping. My room was not serviced after my first night, even though the website states rooms are serviced daily. I didn't report it because I returned exhausted after spending the entire day exploring. I enjoyed my stay and found the staff very friendly. However, I personally spend most of my vacations out exploring, so I didn't use the pools, spa, fitness center, or other resort amenities. For my travel style, I'd probably choose a less expensive hotel next time rather than paying additional fees."
