Amazing Second Stay

This was my second time staying at Kauai Shores and it was just as fantastic as my first stay. The staff was extremely attentive and accommodating. I cannot express how amazing it was to be right on the beach, have free bike rentals, beach towels, pool and hot tub access all in one place. The hotel is walking distance to several restaurants and the Coconut Marketplace and access to tourist excursion services. I came for a solo trip but there were many families having a great time. This will always be my first choice when coming back to the beautiful island of Kauai. Thank you to everyone at Kauai Shores for giving me another incredible stay.

The parking was a bit of a nightmare, the parking spaces are for smart cars at best. They do offer valet. The property is lovely and well taken care of, the beds and bedding were like a dream. Since I slept well, (really well) I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It was our 25th wedding anniversary trip and we were given a nice upstairs room (as we requested) that saw a bit of the ocean.

I would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed the property so much! The rooms and spaces looked newly renovated. The property had everything we needed. Beach is not swimmable - very wavy (and we live in the water) but pool and hot tube nice. Restaurant on site was convenient but too pricey for us - we found amazing restaurants less than a 5 minute drive away.

Perfect location on the beach, walking distance to coconut marketplace, that hosts farmers markets regularly, and has a small grocery store and multiple food options for each meal of the day. The valet service is a nice touch, you can text them while you’re still in your room, and they will have your car waiting . I would go here again, but I would suggest a 20% discount to the restaurant and bar for guests of the hotel, plus a free bottle of wine, which I think Expedia offered me .
