Budget-friendly hotel overlooks Wailua Beach on the Royal Coconut Coast
Easy on the budget, Kauai Sands Hotel is garden-style lodging overlooking the ocean on the east shore of Kauai. There are not a lot of frills here, but basic vacation needs are nicely met in 173 comfortable rooms decked out in casual island-style decor with air conditioning. The 6-acre property has two pools and puts guests steps from user-friendly Wailua Beach, where activities include swimming, snorkeling, sunning, surfing and boogie boarding. The hotel does not have its own restaurant, but the many eateries of Coconut Marketplace are close by.
Highlights
  • Steps from Wailua Beach
  • Two swimming pools
  • Budget-friendly accommodations
  • Walking distance to Coconut Marketplace
  • Internet access (fee applies)
Location
A central east coast location makes Kauai Sands Hotel a fine base for easy exploring north to Hanalei Town, Princeville and the Na Pali Coast and south to Poipu Beach Resort. Even the rugged western shore, with spectacular Waimea Canyon and Kokee State Park, is a doable day trip.
Rooms
All rooms at Kauai Sands Hotel can accommodate up to three adults or two adults and two children. Basic amenities include both air conditioning and ceiling fans, a small refrigerator, balcony and tub and shower. All rooms have wireless Internet access (fee applies). Kauai Sands Hotel does not have adjoining rooms or cribs available, but families with young children can request a rollaway bed (fee applies).
Features
Kauai Sands Hotel is a good choice for vacationers on a budget and those who plan to spend most of their time out and about in gorgeous Kauai rather than in a hotel room. The hotel is only a couple of miles from Wailua Golf Course, well under a mile from tranquil Wailua River and just a short walk to the 60-plus shops and restaurants at Coconut Marketplace. A small in-room refrigerator allows guests to have snacks, juice and breakfast items on hand, making it even easier to keep a vacation budget in check. And although many island accommodations, even the most luxurious, do not have air conditioning, Kauai Sands Hotel does.

a place to lay your head

Was a perfect place to be for the business trip. It was near the location I needed to be. It was a basic room- they did not provide pens or paper in the room to tell you it is basic. Quiet and simple, good A/C unit and comfortable lanai, had an ocean view room.

Extreme VALUE for money!

Honestly reading all of the reviews, I was expecting to be itching and scratching while leaving this hotel. But the Kauai Sands has extremely great value for under $60/night. Room was old and very clean, towels were new and replaced daily. Even the mini bar fridge kept my water cold! I'm the regular Trump Waikiki, Royal Hawaiian or Halekulani kind of guy, but I'd definitely consider staying here again next time.

Worth the Stay

Not for the 5 star room-service types, but a great experience. Awesome staff and great location. Good for the casual traveler. Awesome beach access and walking distance to everything you need. Rooms are dated, but very clean and match the easy mood of Kauai!
