We enjoyed our stay at Lani Kai. We were in room 120 - directly above the area for nightly entertainment. It was very loud while music was playing and it was close enough to patrons to hear all their "fun" BUT, music ended by 10pm and by 10:15 it was quiet and we were able to sleep just fine. I'm sure if we were on other end of the building and on a higher floor it wouldn't have been so loud. The food was just OK on site, convenient for sure! We brought insulated cups and ubered to publix for drinks and snacks. We walked quite a bit, which was fine. Traffic was horrendous - publix was 4 miles away so we used uber and getting back to resort was a bit of a pain. Took 45 minutes to go 4 miles. We would definitely go back to Lani Kai!

Could use a mirror in the room. Bed wasnt too bad. Great view and easy access to beach. Not a fan of the resort charge. You pay that much, parking or beach chairs should be included. Construction going on, but no fault of the hotel.

Acknowledging the recent challenges faced by our community following Hurricane Ian, we found the Lani Kai's recent refresh to be a welcome improvement. The guest rooms are beautifully appointed, and the beds offer a comfortable stay. While the accommodations are excellent, consideration for higher-quality pillows could further enhance the guest experience. The staff was consistently kind and helpful throughout our stay. We also noted a significant improvement in the overall atmosphere, with a notably more tranquil environment. We look forward to returning to the Lani Kai in the future

Nice remodel!

They have remodeled this place and it was really nice! The 1 bedroom suite was bigger and nicer than I expected. Bed was comfortable, room was clean, balcony was great. The location is perfect, right on the beach and easy walk to restaurants. Fun vibe. Recommend.

We enjoyed the location of the property as we could easily walk to restaurants & shops. The beach was beautiful and well taken care of. The pool was warm & clean and not overly crowded. It would’ve been nice to have a broom on hand in the room due to all the sand being tracked in. Also the DJ music was loud at times. Overall a great place to stay!

Great value!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! I was honestly a bit skeptical after reading some of the negative reviews before our trip. We could not relate to one of them. We were greeted and helped graciously from all the staff, bartender, host at check in, beach staff, all wonderful. The rooms were clean, average in decor but comfortable. The beds were cozy. Every room has a beach view with balcony. Didn’t see one bug. AC worked and dehumidifier in the room is helpful in the humid Florida environment. The prices for food and drink were more than reasonable and really good! Lani Kai was wiped out just over 2 years ago from hurricane Ian. It was comforting to see this family owned business be able to rebuild and get back on their feet. It is not at 100 capacity yet, as they are still renovating the roof top restaurant/bar and not all the rooms are complete but they are working hard to accommodate. We would definitely return.
