“Our room was quite unclean upon arrival, had a very unpleasant odor, lots of bugs and a couple lizards found inside. Poor quality especially for the price. Would not recommend.”

“Great value stay in Kauai, especially for families.
This is probably the best value hotel we’ve stayed at in Hawaii. It’s not a luxury resort, but it offers everything you need. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well maintained without feeling outdated.
The location is a huge plus. It’s close to the airport and within easy walking distance to Coconut Marketplace, where you can find restaurants and a grocery store. Not needing to drive for meals or snacks was extremely convenient. The……

“Royal Sonesta is always clean, modern and special. It’s an amazing hotel and worth the price for a mountain or ocean view. Beach access plus that pool?! Perfect. Kalapaki beach is a favorite beach for locals and surfers, but never too crowded. The mountain views are breathtaking. The higher the floor, the better the view! I am a local who has since moved to the mainland, but Kalapaki beach is always what feels like home to me, so I love staying here and feeling extra special being a hotel guest.……

“Room is clean, location is good, near many food options, easy access to many places. However, charged for the resort fee that covers breakfast, morning yoga, and parking, their breakfast is a joke, package pastries and cereal, all the unhealthy premade package food. But that is the only complaint, everything else is good.”

“This is a beautiful property! It was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the area as well. Lots of fun shopping and dining options nearby. We booked here to be close to our early morning Nāpali coast hike and it was perfect for that, only a 30 minute drive to the trail head.
My only complaint would be the extra daily charges for parking and resort fees which were an additional $35/night.
Overall this was a beautiful resort and we’d love to return for a……

“Very disappointed to arrive and the entire lobby closed off and fairly extensive renovations underway. We literally had to climb some bare wood stairs to get our wing of the building! I can’t believe this wasn’t made clear to me - especially paying standard going rental rates! Super frustrating. ”

“Very clean rooms, great staff, centrally located. I love the ocean view, the pool and the bar area. I would definitely stay again. Thank you for making our stay very memorable!”

“We loved our stay at Kimberlee's studio. The apartment was clean spacious with plenty of room for our luggage. The lanai was perfect for sitting out in the morning with a cup of coffee and enjoying the bird sounds. Kimberlee and Malana were lovely hosts. We would definitely stay again. The pool area was relaxing and never crowded. We even had the hot tub to ourselves one night. We enjoyed stargazing from the hot tub and found the parking lot to be very convenient. ”

“Our stay was nice. The room was suitable. It was confusing finding where to park, it's in an entirely different parking lot than the studio. The beach it sits on is nice with comfortable chairs, but pretty rocky in the water. AC was advertised, but we were asked to use it as little as possible. Not sure what was up with the shower amenities provided, but they were the cheapest shampoo and conditioner I have ever used. Pretty sure the conditioner was half water. Definitely bring your own! There……

“Small room. Hidden fees (like parking, towels exchange, some sort of room insurance)
Parking was packed and difficult to find spots
Half the resort was under construction, without much advance notice”

"Great value stay in Kauai, especially for families.

The location is a huge plus. It’s close to the airport and within easy walking distance to Coconut Marketplace, where you can find restaurants and a grocery store. Not needing to drive for meals or snacks was extremely convenient. The hotel’s restaurant, Lava Lava Beach Club, is also delicious and worth trying.
One of the most memorable moments of our stay was spotting a monk seal resting right on the beach in front of the hotel—such a special and unexpected experience.
A couple of small things could be improved: the shower pressure in our room was a bit weak, and the public microwave in the lobby wasn’t very easy to find.
Overall, this hotel is a great option for families. Our 2-year-old had a wonderful time here, and we would happily stay again on our next trip to Kauai."
