Banyan Harbor Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you, love it there, quite and I can rest"

Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay, HI

10/10 Excellent

"Location is a great central spot for most the island. Since the hurricane a few places and things non accessible but from where we stayed it was a 30/45 min drive to all the beaches and food possibilities. Hotel has great staff and fun amenities. Walking paths close by to for beach or running. Great spot for sunrise as well. Beach is 2 min walk for a great view every morning"

Kauai Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at this very first hotel in Kaui’i. Room is big and has some local element. Staff are welcoming. Nice coffee and tea selection. Breakfast is simple but good!"

The Royal Sonesta Kaua'i Resort Lihue

10/10 Excellent

"Great interaction with staff! Kai’s Bar has excellent customer service!! Mahalo nui loa for the hospitality! We LOVED the pool area, and with the brown water advisories in place, we were SO glad we booked The Royal Sonesta simply for the incredible pool! we ate lunch at Kukui’s restaurant and from the fruit plate to the burger and BLT we ordered, everything was ‘ono! Nice that Dukes is less than a 2 minute walk from the resort. DEFINITELY eat at Cafe Portofino Italian Restaurant next door to Dukes. We chose them for our 13 year (dating) anniversary dinner and it was worth every penny. **We did have an incident where the “guests” in the room next to us #1905 were SCREAM-FIGHTING, slamming into the walls, and at one point the male subject opened and then SLAMMED the hotel room door. How, idk because it’s hard as heck to “slam” a hotel door. They’re literally set up NOT to slam. Anyway, I called the office and security was sent up IMMEDIATELY. Not a peep after that, thank goodness. I strongly appreciate the response of staff. We don’t pay to come on vacation to listen to a bunch of drunks fight with each other. Drink responsibly folks, you’re supposed to be adults, so act like it. Also, so VERY DRUNK man was screaming from the balcony of our building too at one point prior to the other event that woke me up out of a dead sleep. Overall the stay was great but do be aware that people can’t hold their liquor and this place in paradise is no exception to that. Just be aware."

"Wonderful hots with a beautiful view of the ocean. The bed is comfortable and the place is well taken care of. I had a wonderful stay."

Hale Hokuala Kauai, Curio Collection By Hilton

8/10 Good

"We were some of the first guests to stay at this hotel. This facility is absolutely beautiful and will definitely become a great place for people to stay and enjoy. The location is close to the airport and a lot of restaurants and stores. The property has parking that's not to far from the building. The room was well decorated and the sheet and pillows were definitely the Hilton level. The staff was super friendly and helpful from beginning to end with them helping us and suggesting places to go visit and eat at. Kai from the front lobby was great and helpful multiple times. One issue is that their in house bar closes too early at 1030pm, and they dont offer any alcohol for sale in their lobby. That was an inconvenience since then we had to leave the property to find alcohol to enjoy in our room. And there was a ton of construction with is to be expected with the recent opening and the hurricane, but a lot of the area where the rooms were at seemed messy and there was too many construction workers around the hotel near the rooms. Maybe completing a portion at a time would have been nicer so not see the behind the scenes. And a piece of metal fell from the ceiling and almost hit us while we were getting ready."

Castle Kaha Lani Resort
