Top Lihue Hotel Reviews

Kauai Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It’s definitely old, but beautiful and quaint. It was a great time and would stay again 10/10"

Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay, HI

8/10 Good

"We’ve stayed here a handful of times over the years, unfortunately it just seems to be deteriorating at an alarming rate. Although our room on this visit was clean, and relatively updated, the rest of the building & grounds are a mess. Peeling paint, cracks in the buildings, grounds are unkept, and the koi pond breaks my heart. It does appear that they are attempting to do some upgrades, but it’s a little too late for us. We will definitely not spend our money here in the future."

OUTRIGGER Kauaʻi Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"I recently stayed at OUTRIGGER Kauaʻi Beach Resort & Spa and would give it 4 stars. The property was very clean, beautiful, and well-maintained. My room was spacious, clean, and the bed was comfortable. The location is convenient to the airport and several attractions, and there is a restaurant on the property. I also enjoyed the drinks from the bar! The resort is currently undergoing construction, so depending on where you are, you may hear some loud noise. It didn't really bother me, it was more of a “wow, that's loud” moment. I understand that work needs to be done, and the construction workers were very professional and respectful. They kept to themselves and never made guests feel uncomfortable, even when people were walking around in swimsuits. I did walk down to the beach, but there wasn't really anywhere to lay out, and the waves were too large for swimming during my stay. Part of the pool area was also closed, although I'm not sure why. My only real issue was housekeeping. My room was not serviced after my first night, even though the website states rooms are serviced daily. I didn't report it because I returned exhausted after spending the entire day exploring. I enjoyed my stay and found the staff very friendly. However, I personally spend most of my vacations out exploring, so I didn't use the pools, spa, fitness center, or other resort amenities. For my travel style, I'd probably choose a less expensive hotel next time rather than paying additional fees."

The Royal Sonesta Kaua'i Resort Lihue

8/10 Good

"They didn't honor the Expedia VIP status, even though the property is listed as a Expedia VIP property and one of the main reasons we booked this resort. We were not given an upgrade, and the lady at the counter said they didn't really honor the Expedia VIP when I asked about it."

2417 at Lihue Oceanfront Resort

8/10 Good

"I was never aware that this was a private rental and I had no access to the resort activities"

Castle Kaha Lani Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The property was beautiful, the path behind the resort led you to multiple sites, the beach and a bar and other points of interest. There is no AC but I think that’s to be expected most places that aren’t hotels."

Marriott's Kauai Lagoons

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was wonderful and the villa was amazing."
