Very quite place, excellent for families with kids, they have free bike rental, yoga and other programs. Groceries, food cards are very close by (easy to drive or bike or walk). Only drawback is the parking gets filled up fast in the afternoon, but they do have free valet service which is good.

The staff at the front desk was a 10 plus along with their valet staff parking employees. The hotel room was always cleaned daily and the staff that cleaned the room were so nice and very honest. I left money under the pillows several times as a tip but they never took it they put in on the night stand next to the bed. I definitely would stay here again because of the location and the amazing staff at the hotel. It’s nice to have a staff now days that provides excellent service. Thanks!!!

The hotel is an older hotel but has recently undergone a full renovation and the renovation was very well done! Rooms are great with all the amenities you need, shampoo, conditioner, bath soap, moisturizer, hair dryer, small fridge, AC, coffee, water. 2 very nice pools and a great hot tub! Very good restaurant and bar that overlooks a beautiful bay! Also had free valet parking. The staff were very warm and friendly!,

Bad parking really bad. Not enough spaces during crowded times. Nice friendly staff. Overall okay if you just need a room to sleep. Typical mix of tourists from all over the world going to Kauai. Some are more cool then other. Front desk auntie is hilarious.

Great stay on Kauai!

Loved this hotel, right on the beach. It was amazing to be able to wake up and walk into the ocean within 5 minutes. The attached Lava Lava Beach Club restaurant was really nice too.

We enjoyed our two-night stay very much. The room was fresh and clean, beds were comfortable and shower was perfect. The beach front is beautiful. Parking is a bit of a challenge, very full in the evenings and parking spaces are tight. If you arrive late, after a nice dinner off property, parking will be full but I am so grateful they offer free valet to accommodate guests when the parking is full. Will definitely return!
