I had an amazing stay at Kauai Shores. Food was delicious, you really don't need to eat anywhere else. There's live music every night and morning yoga right on the beach was great. Short walking distance to Coconut Market, Long Drugs and a number of other stores and restaurants are all an added bonus. And the staff were all very pleasant. I'd highly recommend and I look forward to coming back.

Nice spot

Nicely updated room. Great location. Walkable to shopping and food at Coconut Mall next door. Only issue is parking. Not enough and they do have free valet but can be a hassle if they’re busy.

Overpriced hotel

Hot water temperature was extremely variable. Sometime scalding, sometimes cool. On 3 of 7 nights could not get even a warm shower. On 3 other nights could up and down regulated the intermittantly scalding water to get an annoying, but warm shower. Only 1 of 7 nights did I get a shower you expect at $300 per night hotel. Parking also problematic. Not enough spaces.

Great reception lady, enjoyed the bottle of wine. Paid way too much for a one night stay (desperate) but charged $50 extra for 4th person . Was 2 queen beds but only received 3 towels - what’s the $50 for?! Would not recommend based on this!

Excellent beach for a morning (or afternoon, or evening) ocean swims with plenty of seating options for hotel guests. Towel service was very handy, bikes convenient for short jaunts into Kapa’a, lawn games fun for the family, and poolside amenities very tidy. We loved the 70’s vibe and relaxed atmosphere. Everything was very clean and well organized and evening phosphorescence a huge bonus. Was also a great location for visiting the south or north shore without taking up too much driving time. Thanks for having us, we hope to come again!

We just spent a week at Kauai Shores and cannot think of a single negative. This resort is outstanding. If you are looking for a clean, well-run, place for real people this is for you. If you want a pretentious glamour resort full of complaining guests go elsewhere. We had activity plans every day and ended up ditching most so we could relax on the beautiful beach, soak in the hot tub, and watch Tropical fish in the saltwater kiddy pool next door. We were very dad to depart and will return next year for sure, except 2 weeks this time.

The location was good for access to shopping, dining, and beach access. Parking was very limited if you arrive late in the afternoon and evening plus parking stalls were too narrow resulting in drivers over lapping two stalls.
