Great stay on Kauai!

Loved this hotel, right on the beach. It was amazing to be able to wake up and walk into the ocean within 5 minutes. The attached Lava Lava Beach Club restaurant was really nice too.

8/10 Very good

Great location and staff were very friendly, professional and accommodating. The restaurant food on site — not so good. Bar staff were nice.

Better Than Expected

I have to say that this hotel’s website doesn’t do the hotel justice. We booked expecting a nice, lower-priced hotel that would mainly be a place to sleep between adventures. What we got was a wonderful hotel with a very friendly and accommodating staff. The only negative experience we had was no fault of the hotel; someone stole our water bottles when we left them unattended on the beach. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it.

This is the place to be!

Very fun place with a lot of character. Just wished we stayed longer. It was a quick 3 night stay. Definitely coming back. Great bar, restaurant and very friendly staff too.

Srinath, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was nice. Grounds were beautiful. Pool was inviting! Lived the beach area too! The only negative was parking but they do offer free valet.
Pam, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This hotel is very big and very nice. The parking is a terrible situation and unsafe. When you rent a car make sure to get full coverage. When you parks they give you 3 inches on each side of your lucky. You must let your passenger out first then try to squeeze in the spot. One or two doors will receive dings from car doors that parked next to you.
Ya, that’s me in the middle.

Nice spot

Nicely updated room. Great location. Walkable to shopping and food at Coconut Mall next door. Only issue is parking. Not enough and they do have free valet but can be a hassle if they’re busy.
David, 6-night trip

Great location as a base to explore Kauai Island also an easy to relax on the property with the beach access and pool/jacuzzi, picnic tables and beautiful landscaped property. Great for couples or family. Lastly the staff was genuinely welcoming and friendly!!

Hidden Gem

This is a hidden gem of a hotel! The beach was very easy to get to. And the on-site restaurant is amazing! The bathrooms were squeaky clean and well designed. The beds were top-notch.

Cool old motel updated in great location on the beach with the Lava Lava bar and restaurant adjacent. Also a good spot if you are exploring both ends of the island, it’s right in the middle and minutes to airport. Rooms are small but updated very nicely.
