    Beautiful location
    We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone. The accommodations are fantastic and the scenery is beautiful. And the outside bar and music area were a great place to wind down at the end of the day.

    Laid back hotel

    Beautiful little spot in Kauai
    Kauai shores surprised us, especially for the value! My boyfriend and I stayed 3 nights/4 days here. The parking situation was so convenient - plenty of parking and if you can’t find a spot (usually would be towards the evening), the complementary valet would take care of it for…

    Hi! We are headed here on Wednesday! We booked through Costco and saw a review that mentioned breakfast was provided off the menu without charge each morning because of Costco package. We apparently have a 200$ credit that can cover other meals..excited to come!
    Aloha The Costco package uses your credit of $200.00 towards your breakfast. The We look forward to welcoming you. Mahalo Tara

    Could someone post a shot of the bikes, and a shot of the 2nd pool, please! I love to ride and am wondering if the bikes are good for riding or if they are just meant for single speed coasting? I am trying to find a great spot for the family on Kauai! Thanks
    Aloha Our bikes are beach cruisers they are just single speed bikes meant to ride around the local area and take in all the area has to offer. Mahalo

    What amenities do you offer? Please be specific as I find this very important when I travel with my family and like to keep the children occupied? Do you offer Yoga every day or just how often? Is there an amenities fee? If so, how much is it per night and what do “we” get for it? Are your bikes single speed Crusiers or bikes with gears to make travelling easier and more enjoyable for people of varied ages and abilities? Do you have BBQS? I always enjoy getting to know other guests in the evening around the BBQ and sharing ideas! Being able to BBQ a nice steak at the end of the day is always a highlight of any vacation for us! What does the second pool look like? Please post a picture of the second pool! Is it safe to swim at the beach in front of the hotel or do you need to be a really good swimmer? Is it a smooth sandy beach? Do you have a Lifeguard? Will my children be safe in the pool or do they need to be attended at all times? How many Handicapped parking stalls do you have? Do your balconies offer any privacy or sound abatement from adjacent rooms? If anyone’s has stayed here and can answer these questions or post pictures, please do? I am particularly interested in seeing the second pool - thanks! What time does the music from your restaurant stop playing at night? If I have a room near the restaurant will it be noisy at night? Do you have elevators to accommodate elderly people or persons with disabilities? Is smoking permitted on site? I hope not! Will someone please post a picture of what the bathrooms look like? Is this a destination hotel where a family might like to spend a couple of weeks or is it more of a stopover hotel better suited to staying a few nights? The pictures look lovely but there aren’t enough of them. The location seems like it should be great!
    It’s pretty hard to answer your questions in this format. Almost all your answers can be found on their website. They don’t do Yoga everyday, it’s a a schedule posted for your convince. I didn’t see any BBQ’s but the lobby restaurant was very enjoyable with live music. No resort fee separate. Pretty sure parking also was included. Limited parking spots. Location is great. Hotel is great “smaller” type hotel. The building itself is more like motel style.

    "2nd floor pool view room on west side of the deeper pool. Quiet and nice. Families may prefer the rooms around the shallow pool and lawns."
    "Ask for one with pool view"
    "No true ocean view rooms due to property orientation, but some partial view rooms."
    "2nd Floor with pool view is best."
    "There is some noise from the hot tub, might want rooms further from this."
