Kauai Shores Hotel

"We loved the location, and the free bikes. The bikes eveb came helmets. It is right on the ebach and the bike path. The view is great when eating at the restaurant."

The Royal Sonesta Kaua'i Resort Lihue

10/10 Excellent

"Great interaction with staff! Kai’s Bar has excellent customer service!! Mahalo nui loa for the hospitality! We LOVED the pool area, and with the brown water advisories in place, we were SO glad we booked The Royal Sonesta simply for the incredible pool! we ate lunch at Kukui’s restaurant and from the fruit plate to the burger and BLT we ordered, everything was ‘ono! Nice that Dukes is less than a 2 minute walk from the resort. DEFINITELY eat at Cafe Portofino Italian Restaurant next door to Dukes. We chose them for our 13 year (dating) anniversary dinner and it was worth every penny. **We did have an incident where the “guests” in the room next to us #1905 were SCREAM-FIGHTING, slamming into the walls, and at one point the male subject opened and then SLAMMED the hotel room door. How, idk because it’s hard as heck to “slam” a hotel door. They’re literally set up NOT to slam. Anyway, I called the office and security was sent up IMMEDIATELY. Not a peep after that, thank goodness. I strongly appreciate the response of staff. We don’t pay to come on vacation to listen to a bunch of drunks fight with each other. Drink responsibly folks, you’re supposed to be adults, so act like it. Also, so VERY DRUNK man was screaming from the balcony of our building too at one point prior to the other event that woke me up out of a dead sleep. Overall the stay was great but do be aware that people can’t hold their liquor and this place in paradise is no exception to that. Just be aware."

Kaua'i Palms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was pleasant and convenient. This place wasn’t too far from the airport so it was easy to unload to go do a little exploring and find dinner. The staff was quite friendly. The hotel is located in a relatively quiet residential area (until the roosters wake up). The room size is decent with just a bed and some closet space. There was also the hotel kitty lounging around who was friendly and cute. We visited an awesome diner walkable to nearby."

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.
