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.

Top Puhi Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta Kaua'i Resort Lihue

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff"

Kaua'i Palms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Expectational Customer Care! Due to Hurricane Lala and cancelled flights, we were unable to make our reservation. Notwithstanding that the booking was non-cancellable, we contacted the hotel to enquire about a refund in the exceptional circumstances. We received an immediate positive response and they and Expedia have now processed the refund. MAHOLA"

Hotel Coral Reef

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for a week and we loved it! It was very cozy and the staff was friendly. Very close to the bike path and the beach. They had beach towels, bikes, movies you could check out such as Jurassic Park, and beach chairs you could use. Only thing was the pool was closed for maintenance the whole time and the maintenance man would only let friends and family use it. Wasn’t too big of a deal, we just went to the beach instead. There was a cute cat there as well, very skiddish but liked to just hang out. We learned her name is Sassy."

Aston Islander on the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel has beautifully landscaped gardens and is right on the beach. The pool and bar were very nice but they didn’t have music at the Pool / bar. Our room was in decent condition clean comfortable bed, but the patio furniture was kind of dated. Shopping and restaurants are within walking distance and you can take morning walks along the beach on the walkway there. It was very relaxing and not crowded like some of the big resorts. I highly recommend it."
