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.

"We were some of the first guests to stay at this hotel. This facility is absolutely beautiful and will definitely become a great place for people to stay and enjoy. The location is close to the airport and a lot of restaurants and stores. The property has parking that's not to far from the building. The room was well decorated and the sheet and pillows were definitely the Hilton level. The staff was super friendly and helpful from beginning to end with them helping us and suggesting places to...

Top Puhi Hotel Reviews

Kauai Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Free banana muffin with my breakfast? I don’t know if that’s Shay’s the case, but it was a darned delicious surprise. Very clean room. Great location. Free bike rental for guests. Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel."

Aston Islander on the Beach

8/10 Good

"The best features was the location on the beach and we had a balcony over looking the beach. The other positive was the proximity to the Coconut Market- walking distance to shops and restaurants. However it was not well lit at night so it could be hazardous walking. More lights are definitely needed. Our unit was also in need of an upgrade. The staff was helpful but they are not always available at the front desk."

Sheraton Kauai Coconut Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The Sheraton was our go-to when we evacuated Poipu due to hurricane Lowell. They were very accommodating providing food, water, etc even when no power was available in our room. Can’t say enough about how sweet the staff was during our stay, even though they were extremely shorthanded."
