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 pool and grounds area. Easy access to the beach. Beautiful scenery. Nearby restaurants plus several in the hotel itself. We got picked for an area tour upstairs at the valet desk. Very convenient to the airport too. It was the best part of our vacation."

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."
