Nice room at the end of the hall. It did have a lot of stairs, which caused me a bit of an issue. We loved the poolside entertainment each evening. Wonderful music and hula dancer. Front desk was very helpful. We enjoyed our visit.

The staff was courteous and the breakfast was good. However, it was dated and the room was small. The roosters crowed early and loudly every morning. The window unit a/c helped drown out the rooster noise when it kicked on. Their no refund/cancel policy is in effect after a certain date of booking.

This is a quaint, charming place to stay! There is a lovely morning breakfast held in the open-air lounge at the reservation desk area. What a nice way to meet other travelers! That same area hosts a guitarist who does Hawaiian music 3 nights a week, and he was accompanied by a wonderful hula dancer. It was such a special, personal experience! I would go back just for the lovely coziness!

This is a nice hotel for a reasonably price on Kauia. The guy at check in was super friendly and helpful and quick. The room was clean and comfortable. The grounds were beautiful and green and well manicured. This place has the best of both worlds because it feels remote and secluded and in the jungle, but is only a 10 minute drive to all the major stores and restaurants. I really liked this hotel and will definitely stay here again in the future. Highly recommended.

WAZE gave directions without listing a road closure. Then used Google Maps and had to backtrack. Prior notice would have been nice especially arriving late and it being dark. Receptionist was very pleasant and sweet. Room was clean. Nice that it is close to airport.

The rooms are very dated, however, they are also very clean! Everything worked PERFECTLY in the room (WiFi, plumbing, hot water, etc...) and the bed was super comfortable. I was also really shocked at how wonderful their complimentary continental breakfast was. Staff was very welcoming and accommodating. It was great being in a very "chill" location that is very close to Lihue that gives you plenty of dining options. I'm very happy I chose to stay at the Kauai Inn!
