Amazing views! check out is 11 am, by 10:30 am housekeeping kept knocking on my door to leave, even after I told them I would be out of room and leaving by 11 am.

Overall good! Resort fees does not make any sense

Great location. Beautiful area. Staff super nice. Loved that you can spend all day on and around the property if you don’t feel like driving.

I loved this place but was very disappointed in the recycling - there were no recycling bins anywhere and if I wanted to recycle I had to carry mine to the front desk to make sure it got recycled and even then I wasn’t sure.

The staff at this property sealed the deal. What the property was lacking in high class amenities and room appointments, it made up for in staff training and property cleanliness and upkeep. Small beach on the property was awesome too.

Location was perfect. Employees extremely nice and efficient. Bathroom needed to have more room, bigger sink and bigger toilet. Too small for anyone over the age of 12. Needed more drawers, 2 is not enough for 2 people for more than one night. Need a table with 2 chairs, even small would have been good. Cleaning folks were very good and nice. TV's need work so the remotes operate.

Bathrooms and area throughout property should have been cleaner

Likes: price, location, pool, beach area, clean room, amenities, 2 luggage racks (no dressers, only 2 small drawers), room security safe. Next door to Coconut Marketplace so walk to shops & food vendors. Dislikes: MUSTY smell in room (1st floor road side), no dressers in room for clothes storage (only 2 small drawers), had to request towel & bed change & VERY NARROW parking spaces & limited parking if crowded & didn't want valet parking (free except for requested tip). No elevators.

Such a fun property. Love the refurbed mid-century vibe. Just keep in mind… tiny bathrooms and low ceilings typical for properties of this style. The restaurant was only OK and they need more beach chairs.

The staff was helpful and accommodating. There is a very nice 2-3 miles beach walk behind the place..

Wonderful hotel in every way possible. Felt like my home away from home. I will stay here when i am back in Kauai.

The staff.. Property is in bad need of renovation.

Nice hotel, right on the beach. Perfect for a getaway.

Great location! The beach was less than 100 yards from our room and there was a nice shopping center right next to the facility.

decent hotel, good price. great location.. options are somewhat limited when on a budget here.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! The Kauai Shores does take sustainability seriously and we have a recycling bin on the pool deck. Other than that, our room attendants sort recyclables when removing trash from guest rooms. We do take our recyclables to the redemption center, and monies from the recycles are donated to the Kauai Visitor Industry Charity Walk. Rooms will all be renovated in 2023, and will include recycle bins in every room. We will look into including more recycling bins around the hotel! Thank you for your feedback and we hope that you had a lovely time in Kauai! Hopefully you can stay with us again on your next visit!
