Kauai Shores Hotel

Lovely modern trendy hotel, had a bit of a vibe in the evenings with all the fairy lights on and everyone in the jacuzzi. Inflatables at the pool which was good and we had it all to ourselves on several occasions- it’s very small though so just as well. Nice wristbands and refillable water bottles which we go to keep after. Lava lava beach club was really nice and good friendly service and lovely food right on the beach, but we only had breakfast there not dinner. Shower was modern and usually got hot. Housekeeping didn’t come every day and was often very late in the day.

The location drew me to this hotel, close to the airport. Thought there were things to do close by but no. They do put 2 waters in the fridge. Cute family games in the late afternoon. Be aware you cannot put charges from the restaurant on your room so be sure to have a credit card. Also, cant take drinks out so cant drink at the pool or take to your room. The worst was the parking. Horrendous. Not enough parking. Construction blocking areas. Only one road for 2 way traffic to get to the valet, which is complimentary. People parking illegally and driving in the wrong direction. Water is pretty rough on this side and sand is rough. Didn't see any areas to rinse off going back up or at the resort. Lots of choices on the Island. The parking would keep me from coming back.

Location - in Kapaa , relatively easy to find ; I’d say the location is central Staff - fake nice . They seemed nice on the surface ; but it’s all fake Rooms - modern , small , glorified motel 6 essentially. Three aspects about the rooms I despised : there was a Very musty smell in my room when I first checked in . I discussed the issue with front desk and they ended up turning up the AC in my room to solve the problem. Secondly , the water pressure in the shower was very weak , and last but not least , there was no privacy in ground level rooms / if you want natural light into room , you have to leave curtains open and all people walking by outside have full views to your room. Parking - a nightmare ; small parking lot for a huge motel . Check in experience- unacceptable. Check in was at 4 pm; my room was still not ready by 4:30 pm . All I heard was : I’m sorry . Every other hotel would have offered some kind of good will gesture The worst $300 hotel I’ve ever stayed at The Hilton garden inn nearby is not glamorous, but st least I never had the above issues staying there . Avoid Kauai shores hotel at all costs costs

Location is great and staff friendly. Cleanliness of facilities was excellent. Beach restaurant is great food.

Our room was spacious, and we selected the room with the kitchenette which includes a mini refrigerator and microwave. Staff was very friendly and helpful. It was nice to have 2 pools and Lae Nani Beach is in your backyard. Lava Lava Club restaurant is on sight had many good food options. There is also a fun photo booth where 2-3 people can take pictures at no cost. Coconut Marketplace including ABC Market is conveniently located next door. We enjoyed our stay despite the rainy weather in mid-February.

Self parking was a bit limited if you return late at night, but there is valet parking attendants may assist.

Kauai Shores is now our favourite hotel in Hawai'i! Great location, quiet beach, good cocktails and family games. It's so quiet at night; we all slept very well. Very clean. Stunning grounds, especially the orchids. The best part is the staff - all so friendly and they treat you with kindness.

The renovated rooms are beautiful and the entire property is clean and well maintained. The staff are friendly and helpful. The Lava Lava food is delicious. It is in walking distance to stores and restaurants. Best of all - it is right on the ocean.
