The Kauai Inn
9.0 (110 reviews)

The Kauai Inn ★★★

📍 2430 Hulemalu Rd, Lihue, Kauai

"This inn completely surpassed our expectations! From start to finish, it was a wonderful stay. A few highlights from our visit: Impeccable Room: The space was incredibly clean and offered plenty of room to stretch out and relax comfortably. Warm Welcome: The check-in process was smooth, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Serene Atmosphere: It was quiet and peaceful throughout our entire stay, making it the perfect place to unwind. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!"

Koa Kea Resort on Poipu Beach
9.3 (101 reviews)

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."

Kauai Palms Hotel
8.1 (108 reviews)

Kauai Palms Hotel ★★

📍 2931 Kalena St, Lihue

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

Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay
8.0 (117 reviews)

Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay ★★★

📍 3-5920 Kuhio Hwy, Kapaʻa, Kauai

"It's close to the airport, the beach is right in front of you, there's parking, and it's conveniently located for shopping and sightseeing."

Aston Islander on The Beach
8.3 (108 reviews)

Aston Islander on The Beach ★★★

📍 440 Aleka Pl, Kapaʻa, Kauai

"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)"

Koloa Landing Resort at Poipu, Autograph Collection
9.4 (106 reviews)

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

📍 2641 Poipu Rd, Koloa, Poipu

"It's very spacious, with a large corner balcony, three bedrooms, and three bathrooms, making it a very comfortable place to live."

Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa
9.0 (115 reviews)

Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa ★★★★★

📍 1571 Poipu Rd, Poipu

"The surroundings are superb, with the beach, greenery, ocean, and palm trees all within walking distance and visible right from your window. It's an amazing spot for watching both sunset and sunrise. The room facilities are a bit dated, but the breakfast is plentiful, and the hotel offers a variety of restaurants to choose from. There are also many facilities for guests to enjoy, and evening performances."

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

"Check in late at night and checked out early in the morning so there is almost no relationship with the staff Room is large and comfortable The bedroom facing the main street is noisy Room making during 6 nights is only 1 days (I think I did more if I asked) Full kitchen is comfortable, no seasoning, but kitchen towels and cutlery are substantial Food washing machine washing machine dryer もあり, next day washing できた The pool was not so crowded and I enjoyed the barbecue. Best location for those who self-sufficient because there are targets, times, longs and Costco nearby I want to stay again"

"Hotel was very clean and nice but a bit overpriced All employees were fabulous Food was too expensive and we mostly ate elsewhere."

Marriott's Kauai Lagoons - Kalanipu'u Hotels in Kauai

Marriott's Kauai Lagoons - Kalanipu'u

"Stayed here many times and things are starting to slip. Unit looked worn, horrible pillows and threadbare towels. Staff mentioned that units may be redone soon, but will be taking away high end appliances and replacing with cheap GE models. Sad to hear this as this is one one the nicest units of MVC. Activities offered were mostly crafts, no physical/wellness offerings. The staff are fabulous, friendly and helpful. Location is central for exploring Kauai. Hope the reno and proximity to The Timbers doesn’t spoil this place. More suited for adults than families with children."

Timbers Kauai Ocean Club & Residences Hotels in Kauai

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."

The Kauai Inn ★★★
"The Hotel is nice and clean and the staff is super friendly. The property is well maintained and we loved all the chickens and peacocks that would join us for breakfast. Nice and quiet area - but you will need a car to get to shopping, food and beaches. Would definitely recommend."

Aston Islander on The Beach ★★★
"The beds were twins and the space was quite spacious, which was nice. However, the shower pressure was too weak, and it was inconvenient because I couldn't move the showerhead. The front desk staff were very kind. Having a microwave was convenient for preparing meals. I parked anywhere as instructed, but I received a parking ticket. It would have been better if there had been more detailed instructions. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay."

Koloa Landing Resort at Poipu, Autograph Collection ★★★★
"The room was very big. The front desk upgraded the room for my honeymoon with my husband. There was a microwave, induction cooker and washing machine and dryer in the room, so I could wash my clothes immediately after snorkeling every day. It was very convenient. In addition, I signed up for a speedboat tour in the morning. I didn't have time to eat breakfast in the hotel, so I quickly made a meal in the room. Behind the hotel is the famous sunset wall where you can watch the sunset. The only regret is that I saw a dead big cockroach in the room on the last day of my stay..."

"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."
