Top Puhi Hotel Reviews

Sheraton Kauai Coconut Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for one night and was a last minute booking due to our original plans of backpacking the Kalalau trail being canceled due to the trail closing from hurricane Lola on our weekend :( The property was well maintained and comfortable. The check-in was easy and we appreciated that the pool was open until 10pm. We ate at the poolside restaurant the next day and loved the poke nachos. One thing I caught after checkout was that we were supposed to have a "welcome drink" and lei provided to us included in our resort fee and we were only given the leis. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay!"

Hotel Coral Reef

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 1 night before heading to the North side. The hotel was comfortable and walkable distance to restaurants and down to the beach. The AC was nice to have for our August weather. The person at the front desk was very friendly and provided a list of hiking trails across the island which we appreciated! Also had complimentary bikes and beach equipment. We did not use the pool due to being closed for maintenance but we didn't mind as we spent the day exploring. Great breakfast across the street at Kountry Kitchen. Have seen some comments about roosters- FYI- they are EVERYWHERE on the island from the hotels to the Walmart parking lots lol we had them at all 3 of the properties we stayed at so it's just something to accept across the island, not a fault of any of the accommodations honestly"

Banyan Harbor Resort

8/10 Good

"The room itself (2 bedroom suite) was lovely. Lots of room, full kitchen, everything you’d need for a multiple night stay for a family of 3-4. A lot of space! A/C was a bit loud when it was on but very nice to have laundry in the unit. Has cable tv which is a rarity nowadays. Rooms were clean… maybe a little outdated. Only real criticism is the amenities. This place sells itself as a “resort” but the pool was filthy (gnats everywhere), the tennis and pickleball courts were laughable and it seemed like the office would try to keep those things closed rather than let guests use them. Pool was closed the first day we were there for absolutely no reason. We stayed two nights because our flight off the island was cancelled due to a tropical storm. It was heavily discounted but I think it should normally be priced as a hotel room, not a resort, cause it doesn’t have a resort sort of experience. I know everything in Hawaii is more expensive but this should be a $200-250 a night place at max. If you’re paying more than that, you’ll be disappointed."

Aston Islander on the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Cutest place ever with great Staff. Would definitely stay here again. Rooms come with a Kurig coffee maker, mini fridge and microwave. Convenient location within walking distance to Coconut Marketplace. They have a water station to refill water bottles and you can rent DVDs for free."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Puhi?

The best time to go to Puhi is during the shoulder seasons of April to June and September to November, when the weather is pleasant and visitor numbers are lower.

During these periods, you'll experience warm temperatures, typically ranging from 24°C to 29°C, with less humidity than the peak summer months. This makes it ideal for exploring the island's natural beauty, such as the nearby Wailua River or the beaches along the coast, without the intense heat or larger crowds.

For couples seeking a relaxing getaway, these months offer a more tranquil experience. You can enjoy outdoor activities like hiking or kayaking with more space and a calmer atmosphere, making it easier to find quiet spots for a picnic or a romantic sunset view.

Families also find these times advantageous, as the slightly cooler temperatures are more comfortable for children participating in outdoor adventures.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Puhi hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Puhi hotel?

Hotel prices in Puhi often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
