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.

Awesome hotel. Our room was great, comfortable stay for the week. We used the two pools and hot tub every day. Getting to see the chickens roaming around continued to be a highlight. The restaurant at the hotel was super yummy too. Easy beach access and all in all a wonderful place to stay.

Staff was great. Rooms were clean but came across around 2 cockroaches daily in our room. Parking is a problem. Tight spots that are taken up a lot of the time. Forced to use vallet parking (free, but tip right). Beds are comfy. Lava Lava restaurant attached. Our server Kay is the best in the business bar far. Close to swimmable ocean. Would stay again for sure. Just wish no cockroaches.

Beautiful relaxed vibe, cool location. Not a resort, but better I think. Loved the restaurant right on the beach where you can dine with your toes in the sand. Beach has a fair amount of shade from pine trees. Nice location close to a walking/biking trail and a touristy shopping plaza. Also not very far from a ton of other restaurants and shops just up the road. The Wailua river is extremely close. The only one thing I did not like was that the room looked right onto the pool on the ground floor and people could see right in the room - would have loved to have been able to keep the blinds open. Otherwise, the staff were very attentive and accommodating. Would definitely stay there again!

Nice, reasonably priced (for Hawaii) property on the beach with a shopping area (with several restaurants) right next door. The staff were helpful and friendly, the rooms were pretty good, and the on-site restaurant served good food with an excellent sea view. As long as you don't mind the ever present chickens (and you shouldn't be going to Kauai if you do) then it's a good central spot to explore the island.
