Kauai Shores Hotel

Simply put, I typically stay in 4+ Star resorts but felt the need to try a new area of Kauai and rooms were limited. This property is absolutely amazing, the grounds, the beach, the staff, the restaurant, the location all amazing. The room was very comfortable but needs just a touch of updating however we fell in love and will return.

Enjoyed yoga in the morning, the restaurant with my feet in the sand, the large grass area with games and fire pit.

This is a pleasant place .However some of the rooms face the carpark.So if a nice beach view you want make sure you ask.The rooms are tidy and clean .Its more like a motel with a restaurant than a nice resort

This hotel was better than I expected. However, know that is a remodeled, old hotel. Nice decor, but that doesn't change the layout of the room or the size of the complex (medium). A bonus is that this is ocean front property. Beds were comfortable, noise wasn't too bad. The room had a microwave and refrigerator. They have bikes you can use and offer a free mai tai to adults. The complex is right next door to the Coconut Plantation, which offers some restaurants, shopping, and a small market. The Lava Lava bar was very busy; don't know if it was just hotel guests, locals, or other visitors to the island. We enjoyed sitting outdoor, right next to the beach. Kapaa has some good restaurants, and a nice biking path (one goes in the opposite direction towards Lydgate, a few blocks from the hotel, too), but not the best beaches. I wouldn't want to stay here a week, but for a few days as a jumping off point, it's pretty good.
