Lihue Kamalani Playground Hotels

"The room was clean you could smell the bleach, however the paint was peeling off the ceiling over the table, over the bed and over by the kitchen sink. Plus we are older adults and they gave us a third floor room and trying to pack 2 40 plus pound suitcases up that many stairs was ridiculous. The staff was nice, parking was ok. The toilet plugged up for no reason and for coincidence they happen to have 2 plungers under the bathroom sink. The hot water took about 5 to 10 minutes to get hot. We unfortunately will not plan on staying there again. If they would update the rooms and fix the plumbing it could be a super nice hotel. The grounds were beautiful. I would not stay there if i had kids because they have a bar at the pool so you have a bunch of drinking, questionable people watching children swimming. "

"The rooms and overall property was very well kept and clean! The AC worked so well also so made it nice to sleep at night. The location is amazing and ease to the beach was also great. We loved our time here! "

"Room was always taken care of and front desk staff was very friendly. The atmosphere outdoors was very pleasant and not over crowded. Our room could have used some tender love and care but know they are in the progress of renovating rooms currently. "

"I was traveling for business and the hotel supported that just fine. My room was very nice, clean and comfortable. Bed was great. Hotel staff was superb. I had a car and it was easy to park each day. Cost for that is $25/day, which for Hawaii is typical. I did not get breakfast at the hotel due to a long wait time, regardless time of morning. Lots of good breakfast options nearby for a better deal. I don't drink, but the tiki bar seemed to be hopping each night. They have an onsite luau 3x per week; adds nicely to the atmosphere even if you don't join it. The pools (2x) were pretty cool hut the jacuzzi was nice and hot, even if the jets are wimpy. Would definitely stay there again. Rate was good compared to other options."

"A great location. The staff are amazing. This is such a lovely place. "

"Great location, very quiet place. However, they don’t have laundry inside condo, you will have to use the shared machines with extra cost. Free WiFi and heated pool are great."

"Absolutely gorgeous views!!! Beautiful place! Only downside is no air conditioning, but this is coming from people who sleep very hot. It was still very comfortable with the windows opened and air flowing through the place. Would definitely stay here again"

"Ocean view was outstanding! Condo was user friendly….unfortunately rained a lot… nothing you could do about that but, at least we could enjoy looking at the water"

"The Fern Grotto Inn was a great location for exploring the island. The hosts seemed to think of everything from laundry to coffee to kayaks. It was a wonderful experience."
