My husband enjoyed having someone come in and clean up our hotel rooms. Since 2020 and COVID, we have traveled to several nice places and housekeeping didn't enter the room until you are leaving. The housekeepers made sure we had clean big towels, threw the trash out, and straightened up. The rooms were clean and the grounds were very Hawaiians with all the beautiful plants.

The rooms were recently updated and very clean. The whole vibe was great. The restaurant/bar onsite had live music and a local who frequents the bar said the best bartender on the island works at the Lava Lava (onsite restaurant/bar). The parking spaces were a bit tight but they also had free valet parking. Overall and excellent time was had.

We very much enjoyed our stay and the facilities at the Kauai Shores Hotel and would happily rebook here without a second thought! It was convenient to restaurants, shops and many activities. Being centrally located on the island made it easy ( with a car) to reach key points of interest on the island. The staff was outstanding at meeting our needs and requests and the resort in general was well maintained and clean. The only issue that we encountered was the parking. The spaces allocated to self parking were very narrow and we frequently found that guests needed to use 2 spaces to accommodate their vehicles or found themselves in such tight spaces that it was nearly impossible to get in or out of their cars. Valet parking resolved the parking issue, but wasn't convenient if plans entailed frequent trips to/from the resort. The beachfront allowed for great ocean swimming and relaxing on site.

This is our second time staying here with friends. VIP got us a free bottle of wine. While I appreciate that, I had to choose that type of room. It is quaint, has everything you need on the premises, close to the airport- a fantastic place if you're getting in late and/or multiple people are coming in at different times. This will continue to be our meet up place as long as the price stays fair. BONUS morning yoga on the beach!

Hidden Gem

This is a hidden gem of a hotel! The beach was very easy to get to. And the on-site restaurant is amazing! The bathrooms were squeaky clean and well designed. The beds were top-notch.

This is a budget friendly ocean front accommodation. My complaint is $30 a day resort fee; I would rather have the $30 a day just be added to the daily rate rather than having it separate. My other comment is about the bed. I was unable to move after each night. The bed was far too soft and offered no support. I'm the end I personally would not stay here again.
