Great stay on Kauai!

Loved this hotel, right on the beach. It was amazing to be able to wake up and walk into the ocean within 5 minutes. The attached Lava Lava Beach Club restaurant was really nice too.

We enjoyed our two-night stay very much. The room was fresh and clean, beds were comfortable and shower was perfect. The beach front is beautiful. Parking is a bit of a challenge, very full in the evenings and parking spaces are tight. If you arrive late, after a nice dinner off property, parking will be full but I am so grateful they offer free valet to accommodate guests when the parking is full. Will definitely return!

I loved the quiet, authentic feel to the property. The only thing I was a bit disappointed in was the bed and linens. Bed wasn't horrible just not the most comfortable.

What a gem!

Loved this hotel and our overall experience with staff and property. Upon check in, staff member Novella was very helpful. She took the time to tell us all about the hotel amenities and about the island since it was our first time visiting Kauai. Found out that we had both lived in same town in California too! She gave us our complimentary bottle of wine, which was a nice bonus for being a good hotel reward member! The hotel property was nicely manicured and loved that it was right on the beach! The pools areas and grassy areas were all kept up very well and we enjoyed the nightly live music playing at the bar while we lounged on the beach. The hotel restaurant Lava Lava was very good. We had dinner and breakfast there and both meals were very good with friendly service. Our room was very comfy and had everything we needed, and housekeeping kept it very clean and tidy each day. Location was perfect— right next to a shopping center that had everything we needed. Only issue we had was in the self parking lot cause all the spaces are extremely narrow and there is not even enough room to open car door to get out properly. Because of this, Our rental car was hit and bumper torn off on our 2nd night and no one even left a note! Needless to say, we used the valet rest of our visit so not to incur further damage! The valet is free, except for tipping. Other than that, we absolutely loved everything about this hotel!

This was our 3rd trip to this hotel and It’s getting better each time. Our room was renovated with brand new furniture, carpet blackout curtains and bathroom fittings. Staff is extremely polite, we were welcomed by Angela. Overall we loved it! Highly recommended for families with kids. Also the Coconut market is just a 2 min short walk. Very convenient.

Make this your place to stay! It was very convenient, smack dab in the middle of most things you’ll be doing in the island. There are plenty of food options and grocery options that are walkable. The property is amazing, You can hang out on the beach, check out what’s going on at theLava Lava beach club, hang by the pool,
