Kauai Beach Resort

The hotel was great. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Great restaurant. Good location.

Just returned and didn't want to come back home! The hotel was in a great location. I liked the fact that there are shopping centers and grocery stores a few miles down the road. Also, it is in the middle of the north and south shores so the drive isn't bad going to either location. All staff was very friendly. Everything great about hotel except it's not on a swimmable beach but the pool area made up for it. Lots of chairs around the pool and it was never crowded. We knew this going so it didn't bother us. Also, there is a resort fee (parking) but also this is stated and not a surprise. Rooms were cleaned daily and the hotel grounds were always clean. The beds were comfortable to us. The pillows are a little too fluffy but that was ok. We didn't eat at the hotel resturants so no comment on good or bad.

The hotel and grounds were beautiful and the mai tai reception and Hawaiian dancing and music entertainment was so enjoyable. The orientation breakfast the first morning was very informative and helped us plan our vacation. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was excellent. We liked the central location and we could drive towards Poipu or up to the north coast without a long travel time. It was just perfect and I can't wait to come back.

We have been traveling the island. Excursion desk was very helpful. We did a wonderful helicopter flight and a super boat trip. We loved the place. It was one of the most wonderful hotels we have met on our trip of the hawaiian islands.

Great experience. Hotel is clean and very nice -- there are several pools with fountains, hot tubs, etc. and the beach is right there as well. The ocean is beautiful but not safe for swimming. We came in late from a flight from the Philippines so it was very nice to have a comfortable bed and then stroll along the beach and swim in the pools the next morning. No complaints!

very good

Great hotel! The pictures are true... I will stay here again. The price was good and it was a beautiful hotel that had everything. The beach in front of the hotel was too rough- not a swimming beach. The pools were very relaxing and enjoyable. They charge for parking but it didn't bother us... Our experience there was worth everything we spent.

After my 7 minute drive from the airport, which can make a difference when you're arriving on the late night flight, I was checked in quickly by [...] and went up to my room. I discovered that it was right off the elevator. I called downstairs and [...]set me up with a room with a king bed in a much better location (even had a partial ocean view). The hotel was also a great location because the resort is ocean front and even if your room isn't ocean view, you're just a 2 minute walk to the beach from anywhere in the resort. I left the "Do not disturb" sign in my room when I left for the day. When I returned, there was a message waiting for me letting me know that I had done this and if I needed anything, such as towels or making the bed, to call downstairs. Hotels with lesser levels of service would not have gone to this length. My last comments are for the last day of my stay. I wanted to stay a little longer in my room because my flight was at 9pm. I was informed that I could stay but for every hour after noon I would be charged a rate of $10/hour. While I understand the policy, the hotel was definitely NOT even close to 1/2 full and there was no pressing need to get me out and the room turned over. I understand this policy if it were busy, but it was not. this rating would have been an excellent if I had been allowed to stay without incurring extra charges. At least they let me leave my bag with the bag boys without charge.but to slightly redeem themselves, I share the following. I went for a hike after checking out without thinking that my hike would leave me not so fresh for my flight home. I returned to the hotel to try and see if there was a shower somewhere to freshen up. Unfortunately, there were no such facilities (something that could be addressed), but I was given a towel, some shampoo and body wash to clean myself up in the men's bathroom (better than nothing for my fellow travelers). Overall, a great experience with some areas that could be improved to make it an excellent experience.

It was unseasonably cold and the hotel was 'open-plan' therefore getting and keeping warm was a problem...The hotel cannot be blamed for that. It is 5 mins from the airport. It is on the beach and a short drive gets you anywhere. The seafood buffet night (saturday) is superb and great value. The hotel had all that we could have asked for - except sun. Guess we can't sue for that. But we were surprised to have to pay for parking our hire car there...is this now the norm in the US?

Excellent service, the hotel staff was quick and polite. The resort is lovely and right on the beach (not a good swimming beach). Wish I could have stayed longer. The only down side was you have to pay for parking every night and the internet was not free.
