Independent Lihue-Koloa Forest Reserve hotels

"Great location-beach shopping. Great staff."

"Very nice for a one night stay after a late arrival. At breakfast we were greeted by kittens, chickens and a peacock! And roosters of course were our alarm clock!"

"Our first visit to Kauai and we picked the perfect place to stay, we enjoyed our stay at Kauai Shores."

"Amazing resort. The beach is part of the property which makes it really convenient. The little pool area with water slides for kids made our visit remarkable for our toddler. "

"We needed a 1 night accommodation and this fit the bill. Staff was super friendly, the room was cute and clean. I would highly recommend if you need somewhere to lay your head without all the extra amenities!"

"The outrigger is centrally located to all the desirable sites on the island. Saves greatly on travel time. On site dining and very close to a variety of off site dining options. The resort is quiet, beautifully landscaped and well maintained. Staff is pleasant and helpful. I should be noted that one of the building is undergoing a full remodel so there was some construction noise on occasion.(Late July 2025) The beach is directly connected to the resort and there is easy access and fantastic views. The area at the resort is not really swimable, but safe areas are just a short walk up the beach. No lifeguard however. Parking is close but there is a daily fee. Would highly recommend."

"Beautiful property"

"The bedding was extraordinary, especially the mattresses and pillows were exceptionally comfortable. "

"Restaurant in hotel had great breakfast. Hotel was beautiful, clean, and beds were super comfy. Great staff and service. I would recommend staying here. I’ll be back. "
