December 2022

Very nice hotel in a comfortable location, easily accessible with the car and with some options within a walking distance or by bike (available in the hotel to rent). The room was fully equipped, including a fridge & coffee machine. The hotel provides refillable bottle & a purified water fountain in the hall. Amenities and enough clean towels were provided for our 3 nights stays, if more needed you can ask the reception. However worth noticing they don’t have daily cleaning service, but rely on DIY services providing you with the resources to ensure a clean room & nice stay. It was surprising but we actually appreciated it as a way to reduce waste & understandable with the min staff they have. The Grab & Go breakfast is a nice concept that allowed us to enjoy beautiful sunrises from the room or the beach.

The only BUT was the staff, they were not as welcoming or helpful as most Hawaiians. We asked for recommendation for hikes, place to visit & food trucks… and they were not able to help but gave us the standard coupon magazine of the island. The service with not aloha spirit, in this sense was disappointing

Good location, right on the beach, our room was a decent size, pretty quiet (except for the ocean waves crashing on the beach right outside!), had a fridge and quiet A/C unit plus ceiling fan, a big screen TV, comfy king bed. We didn't use them this trip, but they had free bikes and yoga classes, decent restaurant on site. Grocery store, restaurants, pubs, and other amenities within walking distance. Rented kayaks from Bring Me A Kayak just up the road to paddle the Wailua River and hike to the falls -- great!

No regular room service was available during our stay (staff shortage?), room had a few minor glitches (peeling paint), the take-away breakfast had nothing we would eat (mostly sticky buns and sugary cereal), but we walked to grocery store up the road and bought our own food options.

Ideal location on the beach. Many restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. The town of Kapaa offers also many options at a 5 mins drive. Located on the east coast, it’s a very good base to explore the island (north shore is 30 mins drive, the canyon is at an hour drive). The pool and the yoga classes are very nice !

- you need to ask 24h in advance to have your room cleaned. We didn’t have the information during check-in - we would have enjoyed a drink in front of the ocean but you need to dine at the restaurant

The location of the property was stellar, situated in a good location to access the north and south of the island, about 15 minutes from the airport. Our room was the room from the photo (125) and was as pictured. Steps from the water, and just to the south is an area to access the beach, although when the tide comes in, it’s virtually impossible to walk on. Lots of restaurants to choose from nearby and overall a great value hotel with stunning views of the ocean and catching the sunrise in the morning.

People who vacation come with the intention of spending money. Although the grab and go breakfast is better than nothing, the hotel is missing out on offering a hot breakfast for guests. Even for a fee, guests will pay for hot breakfast at the hotel they’re staying at, and hot coffee in the breakfast room. Also, being able to purchase a cocktail at the restaurant to enjoy the view should be offered, instead of going to the property next door.

It was a great stay. Situated right on the water with great views of the ocean from our room. The green grassy lounge area with the palm trees was both relaxing and picturesque. Even though the hotel was at full capacity when we stayed, the pool and lounge area was quiet and uncrowded. This was in contrast to some of the other nearby hotels we walked by that seemed to have quite hectic pool areas. They also had bikes available to use at no additional charge, which we used to ride up the nearby 5 mile beach path. The water machine in the lobby was nice to fill up bottles as well. Finally, they had reasonable rates and were in a great location to get to other parts of the island. Would definitely stay here again.

Room was clean and recently renovated, location was great - awesome property right on the ocean. Walkable to restaurants and grocery stores. Staff were friendly and attentive. Value for money was quite good in my opinion.

Even amongst the same room type, the quality of your ocean view will be luck of the draw depending on the exact unit you end up in (some have unobstructed views, some are blocked by trees or partially by other buildings). Included breakfast is super bare bones (some muffins and yogurt), though there’s a Starbucks and McDonalds only a three minute walk away if you want something fast but more substantial.

Loved the balcony with view of courtyard and ocean. Breakfast was grab and go, with the highlight of fresh fruit. Beds were very comfortable and the room and bathroom were lovely. I enjoyed the free morning yoga. Great way to start the day. The variation between the different instructors was great with some mellow stretch one day and a very do-able strength focus practice the next. The courtyard was a nice place to hang out with a propane fire to sit around and lounge chairs facing to ocean (great for the sunrise). The attached restaurant, The Bull Shed, was very tasty with good cocktails.

The location was great! The room was great! The price was great (for Kauai). Really recommend it, especially for people that will be out and about during the days (it’s not a resort hotel so whilst the facilities are very good there are no bars, activities (other than morning yoga) on-site. But the room was large, had a balcony with great views, a coffee maker and a small fridge!

Only small, inconsequential things. The remote on the television didn’t work well which was frustrating and I didn’t like the tap on the sink! (I mean if I have to complain there you go!! :))

Beautiful oven front view. Right on the oven Very nice office staff Very friendly maintenance staff WONDERFUL on site restaurant Very comfortable bed and nice room Great room location

There is an infestation of TEENY TINY ants—smaller than sugar ants—in the night stand and the small painted table between the chairs. I sat my bottle of soda on the night stand and they came out of no where!! They covered my pop bottle, my cell phone, the tv remote, my hands and arms!!! it was horrible. I had to go take a shower in order to feel comfortable enough to go to sleep!!!
