Pricey for what you get compared to a condo or some smaller hotels. So be sure you are all about the giant 4ft deep pool, because that is really the thing here. Cost $75 per person if you want to have a guest. The cove is nice though, but water was really dirty after the storm. We liked the beach much more than the pool. The main restaurant was good, but pricey. The sushi place was mediocre at best. No decent live music at the pool. That was disappointing. This place could be so much better for little cost. The room was nice, but the only real upgrade from the club rates next door is that there are three elevators. Club has only 1. You have to go to the club for laundry. The shower was nice. The housekeeping was also great. Be prepared that everything here cost extra. Kaua’i Shores Hotel lacks the big pool, but has the lava lava beach club right there and we really missed that from our last trip. They have music nightly. Kawai Shores also has bikes you can use for free which is really fun. Overall, for 1/3 the price, we will be going back to Kaua’i Shores Hotel.

Our stay at the Marriott Kauai Beach Club was okay overall, but the arrival experience was very frustrating. Our flight was delayed and we notified the hotel, yet it still took over an hour for the airport shuttle to pick us up around 12:30 a.m. When it arrived, it couldn’t fit our entire group, so we had to wait for additional shuttles—exhausting after a long travel day, especially since the resort is only about 2 miles from the airport. We also requested rooms close together, but our group ended up scattered throughout the resort, which was very disappointing. We have stayed here many times and this time was very disappointing and did not have good customer service.
