While the hotel is on a great area and rooms are very comfortable, unfortunately we had a bad experience with particularly one member of their staff.. the cleaning lady only came twice in 10 day stay .. which we didn’t think much of it, the day she came in, we specifically had to ask for them to do the room early since we had a tour very early and wanted to come back and rest by afternoon.. and of course it wasn’t done when we got there.. but that was not the worst.. on our last day, she came in while we were in the room.. we just let her do her think, we waited on the balcony but to my surprise after I thanked her and tipped her $20 bucks.. we couldn’t find my shall or my ring that I had on top of the side table the following morning, I thought it was strange she kept asking,” you are leaving tonight right?” Like 4 times.. which it was when it clicked.. she took them. I asked for help at front desk, they said they couldn’t do anything about it.. then I started putting my story in every single survey , guess what? To my surprise, the hotel returned my shall.. I would not have made such big deal out of it for a shall and a ring.. but more than what the value (Gucci)it is more the sentiment; Still, the original value did matter, we found out from our driver that it happens more often than we think,is just that if the value of the items are more than $500dlls, then they pay attention to it, since you can file a police report and affects the hotel. **NOT RETURNING HERE

We had a wonderful experience at the Kauai Shores Hotel. The staff was friendly and courteous, the room and facilities are clean and well maintained, and the view of the sunrise is absolutely stunning. The hotel location was perfect for us, situated next to the hotel is the coconut marketplace to do shopping and dining, where we had the opportunity to visit the farmers market. There’s talking trails along the beaches/coast. The hotel is only 13min away from the airport and 37 min away from Poipu Beach and Hanalei Bay. We will return to Kauai Shores Hotel!

absolutely loved this place! The staff was so nice, we will truly never forget them! The pool/ hot tub was awesome & we loved the lava bar for breakfast every morning! Wake up & watch the sunrise, then head next door to IMUA coffee for the best cup of your life! We took advantage of the bike rentals as well! It was the trip of a life time!

We liked the beach access and how great of a spot this was to see the sunrise. A short walk to a nice beach that was very protected and safe for kids to swim was such a great part of our trip. The on site restaurant with live music made the evenings memorable. My only bummer was the tricky parking and no on site gym. Thankfully Valet parking made things simple when parking for the huge jeep was limited.

The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. I enjoy that you have a market next door and a few dining options. Very safe and a great location. It has a nice restaurant with live music at night. The price I would say if fair. The only negative is that the rooms are a bit noisy and the pool needs better upkeep.
