Pros: Beautiful grounds, fun poolside bar.

Pros: The waterfront rooms had beautiful views of the beach . The rooms were clean and the little kitchenette was nice to have. The tiki bar and pool area was a lot of fun.
Cons: The bed wasn't very comfortable and the pull out was awful. With a family of five we needed to get two rooms. That , for the price of two rooms , wasn't the best choice . I preferred the condo that we rented earlier in the week for a more comfortable stay.
The kids were very excited to be right on a sandy beach, however, the area where we were the water was too dangerous to actually go in. Very large disappointment .

Pros: The location is fantastic. Everything in Kauai is ridiculously expensive so I feel a little guilty giving them a lower ranking for the value... but $250 is a lot of money to us and although the hotel was totally acceptable, it was still expensive.
Cons: The size of the room was acceptable but there was no area to hang swimming towels, swim suits, etc. The "kitchen" was a sink and a microwave on a counter in the same room with the beds. There were dishes, etc. but not a separate area. There was no closet, just a large armoire.

Pros: Location was great!!!! The hotel was very quiet and relaxing.
Cons: No elevator in this hotel. Upon check in the desk person assigned our rooms on the second floor. She did try to move us to a ground floor room but nothing was available. She offered to get us help to our rooms with the luggage.

Pros: This was a sweet one night return our honeymoon hotel from 15 years ago. We received a comp upgrade from garden view to ocean view, to a more more updated room and couldn't have been happier. It made all the difference!! Thanks!
Cons: I would love the bar to be open in the morning for coffee and juices by the pool.

Pros: There were a lot of amenities included in one fee unlike other resorts in the area: parking, internet, laundromat. There was also a microwave and larger frig in the room so you didn't have to go out every night to eat.
Cons: I didn't like being conned into doing a lot of Tweets for them which they then posted to their site and not getting the 10% discount promised at the end.

Pros: Clean, spacious rooms, nice staff, location is right in the middle of the island so you are in sort of the "center" and also close to the airport. A lot of restaurants and shops near the hotel.
Rooms are very close to the ocean, so you can hear the waves all the time.
Cons: Bed is uncomfortable, you just sink into the hole in the middle... the pillow also isn't good.
If you have the car, you'll lose your mind looking for a parking place because everything is full. In the end we just got used to park outside on the street.
There should be a breakfast for this value.
