Plantation-style goes upscale on Kauai's Royal Coconut Coast
Set on 25 acres along a three-mile beach -- Kauai's longest -- this resort evokes the graciousness of the plantation era but with a host of contemporary amenities. The beach, which is perfect for sauntering or sunning, is not for swimming. No problem. Kauai Beach Resort has four pools, a beachfront sand-bottomed pool and a fantasy pool with a 75-foot lava-tube water slide among them. Two restaurants, a lounge, a fitness center and a spa round out the facilities. And when guests want to explore further afield, Kauai's east coast is an ideal spot from which to do it.
Highlights
  • Fantasy pool with 75-foot lava-tube water slide
  • Series of concerts and programs promoting Hawaiian arts and artists
  • Hawaiian Rainforest Spa
  • Complimentary bocce
  • Complimentary airport shuttle
Location
Kauai's Royal Coconut Coast is rife with sacred sites and groves of slender coconut palms, with its character shaped in part by long, curving Wailua River, the only navigable river in all of Hawaii. A stay here should include visits to a trio of sites, Fern Grotto, Secret Falls, and 80-foot Wailua Falls, made famous in the opening scene of TV classic "Fantasy Island."
Rooms
Accents such as louvered doors and wood floors recall plantation style, but the old plantation homes didn't have what these rooms at Kauai Beach Resort have: travertine marble in the bathrooms and iPod docks in the living rooms.
Features

There's a distinctly Hawaiian feel to Kauai Beach Resort with its island architecture, but also a culture of sharing and promoting authentic Hawaiiana that sets it apart. The resort hosts events all year, including local musicians who share their art and stories, benefit concerts supporting the perpetuation of Hawaiian language and music, and a festival featuring the state's top slack-key artists. Check the annual calendar and plan your trip accordingly.

 

Although the beach out front isn't safe for swimming, Lydgate Beach Park, a couple of miles away, offers excellent swimming and snorkeling.

Hospitality plus at Kauai Beach Resort

The resort had it all! The setting, amenities, staff friendliness, services....all were top notch. Prices were reasonable as well. Access to local shopping via shuttle would help those without vehicles. The outside pool bar is the only place for casual, fast food. OK except in inclement weather. A shelter would be an asset.

Fabulous Kauai

We only stayed one night because there was a mixup at our resort but this was a very nice hotel - exceptional service from all of the staff. Clean room with a nice ocean view. We had a really good dinner in the hotel restaurant/lounge. Great start to our vacation!

Verry Good Value

Four stars may be somewhat generous, but this hotel is in a great location and is a very good value. The resort has all the amenities you expect, although it is showing it's age.The lobby/restaurant areas are very nice, but the rooms feel somewhat dated. The staff was friendly and helpful.The beautiful beach was perfect for long walks. The central location makes it very easy to explore the whole island. Don't eat in the bar. The food is not very good, nor is the service.

Duke's Barefoot Bar and Restaurant near the Marriott in Lihue is a great place for drinks and food.It's not cheap but it is good.

Enjoyable stay.

Staff was responsive to my needs and I'm pretty demanding. Restaurant in hotel was mediocre; bartender was good. Resort was well maintained, with all staff member courteous.

Need a car to get anywhere & don't

Need a car to get anywhere & don't eat to be tied to the resort restaurant for all meals., eg shops as well as touring if you want to go on your own itinery otherwise book a tour. Lovely environment & great on site massage etc. Check in was very slow as many were trying at the same time with inly 3 staff. Beautiful location.

Bad experience

We stayed at this run down place for 2 nights. Although very close to airport beach was not the greatest. Our room was ocean front but poor view. Rooms had old stale smell with kind of old furniture carpets were dirty. I would say that everything in the holtel needed upgrade. It looked to me hotel which have been nice in 1970 and hasn't changed since. I must say not a four star anyway and may be a 2 star motel types with little more ammenities. Resturant awefully overpriced for quality of food. There are better resturants around. We stay in different resorts by far the worst experience among hiltons. Needs upgrade definetly would not recommend.

kauai Beach Resort

Very nice hotel. Great beachfront, but not swimmable. Major complaint: they charge $.99 per minute for internet access in their "business center," and there is very limited wifi access in the hotel. Kauai Beach Resort should offer complementary internet access in business center for their guests.

Great hiking all over Kauia. It's a small island, and you won't have to drive more than an hour to get anywhere.

Quiet Resort

The Kauai Beach Resort was a great hotel for the price. The rooms are clean. The pool is very nice and divided into sections - a sand pool, a kiddie pool with slide, a pool with volley ball net, and a regular 3'-6' section. It was quiet with a laid-back atmosphere. The pool bar has good, inexpensive food. The hotel restaurant is pricey, but not anymore than any other nice restaurant. If you like to be pampered, then go to the Marriott or Hyatt. Otherwise, this is a very nice place to stay for the price. We had reserved a garden view room but received a complimentary upgrade to ocean view just for the asking. Thanks Kauai Beach Resort! :) P.S. They charge for parking which is ridiculous because there are plenty of parking areas, and they charge for internet service in the lobby. :(
