Kauai Shores has a mission statement posted in the office that says something about being the best 3 star hotel and they hit that on the mark. If you are looking for a luxurious resort this is not the place for you but if you like comfort, cleanliness, and convenience, you will enjoy your stay. My wife lost her room key on the first day and they immediately replaced it with a wristband, which we greatly appreciated. Our room was simple but spacious and clean and we had a small patio that we used every day and even though we were one of the buildings further from the shore we were close enough that we could easily walk every morning along the beach to enjoy the sunrise. The only negative is tight parking but the valets are quick and professional.

Hotel's Favourite
Rooms are functional, clean and spacious (I’m told a remodel is underway and that will make them even better). Grounds are lovely and well-kept and a pool room is steps from the hot tub and pool. Ocean is just yards away, free yoga every morning, and the STAFF! Every single one was lovely, warm and delightful. Mahalo!

This place is incredible! I can’t say enough good things! I’ll split this review up into categories. Room: Clean spacious, well stocked, and QUIET! We never heard our neighbors talking once. The only noise we heard was an occasional door closing. Beach: Clean, not crowded, and had lounge chairs on the beach for easy access. Beach towels available at the front desk. Saw a baby monk seal resting on shore and whales breaching. Water is a little rough and there are rocks close to the shore, but we weren’t in the water much. Hotel: Very friendly staff! Grounds are well kept and BEAUTIFUL! Free morning yoga every day and bike rentals! Lots of couples and some larger groups at the hotel. Brewery, coffee shop, bourbon bar, sushi, food trucks, and souvenir shops ALL within walking distance! Great location on the island! Lava Lava Beach Club: Saved the best for last. This restaurant/bar is THE BEST! The bartenders are creative and attentive. Would specifically like to compliment Nilo and James! Always making us fun drinks with fresh fruit! Food is great too! Every time we left the hotel we were excited to come back. We actually spent 2 days NOT leaving the hotel since we liked it so much! Not to mention affordable as heck compared to other hotels, but not lacking in anything!

Great location by the beautiful beach, rooms overlooking great pool amenities, central location for the whole island, bicycles to ride on the shore trail, convenient shopping for food and goods nearby. Close to the Lihue Airport and car rental agencies.

This hotel was perfect for our family vacation to Kauai. We had an ocean view room that was newly renovated. The room was cutely decorated, spacious and had tons of storage space for our family of four. The grounds were beautifully maintained and staff was super friendly, especially Paula who checked us in. There were two swimming pools, a spa and a beautiful beach to hang out on. The hotel offered complimentary yoga every morning and bikes you could check out. The onsite restaurant and bar were delicious and offered a beautiful beachfront setting. The Coconut Market place was just steps away and offered other dining options and shopping, including the Island Market (ABC Store), which was super convenient. Our family would definitely stay here again in the future.

On first impression, the hotel doesn't look like much on the outside (low, 2-story), but we were surprisingly pleased. Our room was recently remodeled and very spacious, with lots of storage space, lighted makeup mirrors, balcony, frig, coffee-maker, table and stools. The hotel has free onsite parking (the spaces are narrow) and a free valet open until 11:00 if you can't find a spot. There is an onsite restaurant, two pools and a private beach-front. Just a short walk across the parking lot is the Coconut shopping plaza with restaurants and shops and the Safeway and more options in Kapaa are a short dirve away.

We spent 6 nights here, and it was a good homebase for our visit of the island. Our room and bathroom were fine. Nice and clean and everything worked properly. We appreciated the daily housekeeping service and the filtered water dispenser in the entrance. Location is great with the beach and a nice restaurant right on the property. Participated in the morning yoga a couple of times which was an extra treat. Also used the complimentary bikes one afternoon & the hot tub. Went to nearby Coconut Marketplace many times, just a short walk across the parking lot. The ABC Island Country Market has everything tourists need at fairly reasonable prices. And save your Market receipts for a free gift Yes, the parking spots at the hotel are very narrow as others have mentioned. And room was just a tad small, but just fine for the two of us. Overall, a very pleasant, trouble-free, stay!

Check in was a breeze even when we came fairly early. So friendly and accomodating. Loved the daybeds by the pool and great customer service. The valet parking for free with just gratuity suggested was nice with the showers coming and going. Overall it was everything I wanted and more than I expected
