The center with the courtyard and pool created a vibe of inclusion, playfulness, and community. The staff was absolutely some of the most warm loving people I have ever met. The gifting of a flower for your hair at breakfast was a huge heart felt touch. And who gets to experience a lovely breakfast with peacocks to fill your visual space! My time on Kauai was short and sweet and staying at the Kauai Inn was definitely so very special.

We absolutely loved staying here! The room was spacious and clean, the property was adorable, the view of the mountain was beautiful, and the staff was super nice. They offer live entertainment on the property several nights a week, and a delicious continental breakfast in the mornings. Usually I prefer staying in a resort/hotel, but this was so quaint and adorable I would absolutely stay again!

This was a wonderful experience for my wife and I. It is located at the midway point of the island so you can get anywhere you need pretty quickly. The rooms were cozy and the staff were very helpful and caring. The cats, peacocks, and chickens added to the island vibe. The rates were very fair for the immense value we received!

Super relaxing and peaceful stay, they let you rent towels, umbrellas, boogie boards, and snorkel gear for free which was awesome. Staff was super friendly, and they had fun activities on the property like live music and movie nights. The breakfast was good, all of the food offered was from Costco except the fresh fruit but it was still filling and yummy. Overall a great stay :)
