Great location, super easy to explore all parts of the island, but staying put was fabulous too with a gorgeous beach just steps away. Staff is AMAZING - so kind and helpful.
United States of Americagreat location. staff was awesome. facilities were great.
CanadaRight on the beach. The restaurant was great too.
United States of AmericaRetro well done! since it’s a smaller old strip type motel - all rooms are close to the beach compared to newer properties. Perfect vibe for a stay on Kauai. yes the rooms are not elegant and the bathrooms have the old tubs and small vanity - but that keeps it authentic…and who cares as this is the island of no makeup, curling irons and outdoor showers! Right on the beach with pool, jacuzzi, free bikes, fire pits, picnic tables, cornhole and games outside - great outdoor places to hang out in the evening after all that hiking, snorkeling, beach and boat action that Kauai is known for. Restaurant and bar RIGHT IN THE SAND on the beach - laidback and casual with excellent food and service.
United States of AmericaHaving an on property restaurant where you can have your feet in the sand and enjoy live music nightly is pretty priceless.
United States of Americaawesome pools, restaurant, right on the beach, conveniently next to shops, great location in Kapaaa, staff was wonderful, valet parking
GermanyStaff was not very friendly. I had small items missing from my toiletries after the 3rd night. Overall a nice place. Good pool and grounds. Good location.
United States of Americawe couldn’t ask for more. the room was clean and big, the staff was friendly and the property was big and with two pools and jacuzzi. very recommend
IsraelLocation is great. Perfect pool and beach for our family. Lava Lava Beach club is good too.
United States of AmericaLoved the beach, pool, hot tub combo with a happy, energized vibe. Nice having a good restaurant on site with outdoor tables overlooking the ocean. Waves were rough directly in front of hotel when we visited in September so we drove to nearby beaches where there were lifeguards and calmer water.
