The Royal Sonesta Kaua'i Resort Lihue

The hotel is obviously older but the rooms have been updated and are very nice. We had a 2 queen, pool view, but you could see the bay just fine too. The water isn’t nearly as nice as most of the resorts because it’s in a harbor. The beach is nice, there are plenty of chairs and seating everywhere. If you have a car, plan on paying $30 per day for parking on top of the $45 per day resort fee. The food at the poolside restaurant is good and the portions are pretty big. If we go back to Kaui again, we will stay somewhere else. We were on a tighter budget this year so that was why we chose the Sonesta. Nice place, just not in a beautiful location.

Expected a bit more for an additional $75 a day ($45 resort fee and $30 self park) as far as amenities. Locals park free in he same parking lot we were charged for and other then pool chairs, towels and the gym there were not any other amenities to take advantage of. Beautiful grounds which is open to the public and nice clean room. Good stay overall.

Beautiful resort!!! Highly recommend!

Hotel is outdated, food options were just ok. It’s part of a vacation club - not that that was a problem, just an FYI. The beach was interesting it’s a little bay next to a shipping area and where the cruise ship comes in. Check in staff was friendly.

Beautiful property. Great service at restaurants. Would definitely stay again!

The rooms were excelent! The staff very nice and hepful beautiful sights well maintaned gardens good food options

Beautiful property

Very nice resort. Only issue was the parking. People who are not staying at the property take up a lot of the parking. Sometimes handing to walk a long distance just to get back to our room. Other than that it was great

Great beach and pool. Beautiful grounds and newly renovated property.

Beautiful ocean front property with a HUGE pool and five jacuzzis! Rooms were really comfortable and everyone was super friendly and helpful!
