Reviews summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
The OUTRIGGER Kauai Beach Resort & Spa is celebrated for its picturesque beachfront location and lively atmosphere, complete with live music and hula shows. Guests enjoy the comfort and views from their rooms, though some have noted the need for updates and expressed concerns regarding moisture and security. The hotel's amenities, including pools and dining options, are acknowledged positively, but additional fees and maintenance issues have been a point of contention.
Cleanliness generally meets expectations, and while the service is often lauded for its friendliness and efficiency, there are occasional reports of service lapses. Despite the beauty and activities offered, some travelers feel that the value is diminished by unexpected costs.

Detailed Reviews
First off, very polite accommodating staff! I asked for upgrade availability since my wife is retiring in a month, and got upgraded to a king ocean view ( supposedly a honeymoon suite ) with a lanai. The hotel has changed names and ownership since we stayed 5 years ago, didn't realize it was the same place until we turned off the highway. The rooms were cleaned at a reasonable time each day.It is kind of in the middle of nowhere , but I between Lihue(airport ) and Kaap'a, so it's not a far drive to either place or the more modern business area where Walmart and several fast food options are located. The traffic can make a short drive take 45 minutes if you are heading In the "wrong" direction.The facility is clean, although the room carpet could be shampooed , but that is pretty typical of a beach location. The food is fairly expensive, but the sandwiches we had at the pool bar were good and large. The whole resort fee hacks me off , but the is everywhere in Hawaii thst we have ever stayed. The bad thing is , at least our bed and pillows sucked! Absolutely horrible. I didn't get a good nights sleep the entire 14 days we were there! There is a refrigerator, but no microwave . Upgrading these items would make a much more desirable place to stay! Valet parking is free, but you can self park if desired(tipping the valet staff adds up quickly)-but it can be a walk if the parking lot is getting full?the pool areas appeared neat and clean with ample seating and umbrellas. There is a sand beach, but not swimmable,unless you are a really strong swimmer! Plus there is a rock area just in the water that the high waves crash over . So the beach is basically for views and sunbathing.
Over all , I would stay again, if the beds were upgraded! It was reasonably priced compared to other options, but it does pay to shop around , with as much lead time as possible, I saw rates fluctuate at least $50 per day.

Disclaimer...we visited shortly after Kauai reopened for in state travel (Covid 19) and the property wasn't fully staffed or completely operational.. We had a partial ocean view room (peek boo view) that had been refurbished. It was nicely appointed with a comfortable king bed, Unfortunately it was located above one of the designated smoking areas on the back of the property, so was a bit noisy/smelly at times. I suggest biting the bullet and getting a poolside view room. The multiple pools are nice and definitely family oriented. The hot tubs were still in Covid lockdown as of July 2020. The restaurant and bar on the property are still closed takeout only with limited menus. The spa is also closed. Check their website for deals during this restricted travel time. We had a waiver of the daily resort fee and a rental car for our discounted price.

Aloha redstackpmc, Thank you for providing us with a review about your recent stay at Kaua'i Beach Resort. We're happy to hear that you were able to take advantage of the Kama'aina special and bring your ohana to Kaua'i for an island hop getaway. Yes, some of our services are not operable due to the current pandemic, however we have been operating accordingly. Some of the services that are temporarily not available are our resort activities (i.e. hula lessons, lei making, hawaiian crafts, etc.), dine in restaurant services, daily housekeeping). Our food service is only available for take-out for lunch and dinner and cleaning services are only available every third day. However, if there are any housekeeping items that are needed, please contact our front desk team for exchange of towels etc.. We hope to welcome you back to Kaua'i and the Kaua'i Beach Resort very soon. We are also offering different Kama'aina specials that you can take advantage of for 2020. Hope to see you soon! Mahalo, Kauai Beach Resort

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
My husband, son and I stayed here for 5 nights in a king room with a pool/ocean view. We got a rollaway for our 11 year old (warning, it's an extra $40/night) and it wasn't too cramped in the room. We were on the 3rd floor so we couldn't see the ocean very well but we cold see it a bit. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. A lot of work clearly goes into the grounds. The pool area was nice with plenty of chairs and was very clean. You can walk to the beach just beyond the pools but it wasn't a great swimming beach. There is a major renovation going on at the moment so while in our room and at the pool during the day we heard constant grinding and construction work. That was only during the daytime though. Only one restaurant was open regularly and they have the same menu as the pool, which isn't a huge menu, so we got burned out of the food there pretty quickly. The location of this resort is great and close to the airport without constant plane noise. I just highly recommend a car because there is nothing within walking distance of this resort. Oh but wait, parking is $22 day as well. There is also a nightly resort fee. We were a bit frustrated at check in because our confirmation said check in was at 3:00 but the resort said it was 4:00 so we couldn't get into our room right away upon arrival. We also were part of a group and were supposed to get a group rate but they would not honor that once we got there so that was pretty disappointing. Especially when they refused to help us with the group rate at check in yet they wanted us to do them a favor and email them the confirmation that said the check in time was 3:00 instead of the 4:00 they go by so they cold get it to corporate to address.
Overall I would stay here again. It was clean and nice with a great pool area and music and misc activities throughout our stay. The staff was friendly. The food was just okay. Just be prepared to be nickeled and dimed for everything along the way like most resorts do.

Sooooo disappointing!! I’ve never stayed in a resort where ALL of the staff were unhappy and actually “mean” to the guests! They had rules for everything. Pool towels had to be turned in by 10pm every night or they would charge you for them. With a $20 resort fee we had to stress over getting the towels back in time? And stand in line every day at the front desk to get new towels! Frustrating. There were no coffee makers in the room. Housekeeping was only every 3 days and they didn’t like requests for more towels or shampoo or soap… The restaurant had good food, but horrible service. After being seated it was usually 30min to get a drink or even water. This was with the resort 1/2 full! Nice location in Lihue, but the hotel badly needs updating. Sink clogged. Shower clogged. I could go on and on… Disappointing.

Aloha hpink23, Mahalo for joining us at Kauai Beach Resort & Spa and for taking the time to leave your review. While we're glad you found our Lihue location to be convenient, we are very sorry to hear of the areas of your stay that fell short. We apologize if our towel policy is inconvenient, however it is standard practice for most resorts in Hawai'i. Coffee makers are available upon request if you visit the front desk or dial "0" on your phone, we're sorry if this information wasn't properly communicated to you at check-in. It seems our staff was not able to provide the level of customer service we expect of them and for that we sincerely apologize. Your review will be sent to all of our guest services staff, in addition to our food and beverage team, so they are also aware of the mistakes that were made. Again, we apologize for this negative experience with us. Sending much aloha your way. Mahalo nui loa. -Kauai Beach Resort & Spa

We took advantage of the discount that this resort was offering for local residents with a valid HI driver's license. I can see why this hotel is called a RESORT. First class all the way. The lobby was nice and we were greeted by Kalei Kuhaulua (security) and checked in by Kenny Dato at the front desk. Both of these outstanding team members continued to greet us during our visit. Truly gave world class service. We had an updated room with a pool/ocean view. The hotel was spotless. Due to COVID 19 - only take out was available from the hotel, but it was great and Chef Mark had a special every day in addition to standard salads and sandwiches. The staff practiced masks and social distancing and we were very comfortable and felt safe. There were multiple pools, once with sand and a direct ocean view. Will absolutely visit this resort again, and use it as our "go to" when guests can once again visit from out of town.

When booking this hotel we were excited because we thought it was a great deal for a 4 star hotel. However, when we arrived to our room we realized the hotel rooms were actually 3 star quality rooms. There were scuffs all over the walls and had the distinct smell of a very old room. After discussing the smell with the front desk we learned that their “deluxe” rooms, which are their recently renovated rooms are their 4 star rooms. Because of this, the hotel gave us a bad first impression. Since we were already committed to stay here during our 3 day stay in Kauai we slowly got over our room experience. Overall the hotel was nice and the staff were accommodating. Be prepared to wake up at least one morning to the roosters. They typically start making noise by 5:30 AM. You can call maintenance if they wake you up to have them moved somewhere else, but we didn’t since the roosters were only persistently making noise next to our room that first morning. If our room was a 4 star room then I would have given this review a 4 star review, but since we felt like we were misled about the rooms and there actually 3 star rooms I can only give this place a 3 star rating unfortunately.

Indeed, we do have a standard room type and a deluxe room type. We will be undergoing a refresh of our rooms this year, at which time we will be updating both. We hope that when we do, you will consider our resort for a future stay in Kauai. Mahalo, Kauai Beach Resort

It’s really hard to understand the true extent of how unfinished and shabby this resort if from the online pictures so save yourself the time and trouble. I wish I had read the negative reviews of this property which are 100% true as I’m facing the same horrible experience.
It’s an outdated motel that the management sells as a 4 star hotel. When you check in you’re greeted by rude front staff ladies who are curt, sarcastic and don’t really care about the guests and their experience. They actually said - you can leave if you are not happy without providing any solutions to the sad state of things here.
The pool is small, dirty, the hot tub does not work, the food menu is small and repeats for all 3 meals of the day. Lunch is the worst as you have to find a seat at a small beach bar and it takes forever for the single waitress to even acknowledge you. The food comes in boxes from the kitchen with plastic forks and spoons and tastes so bland and mediocre.
The rooms have connecting doors to each room that’s locked so you can literally hear everything the next room is saying or doing! No privacy at all and if you are on the ground floor then you are going to hear ppl stomping above you and sleeping is almost impossible if you have a baby in the room next to you crying.
The covid protocols here are a joke as well, they ask that you wear your mask when checking in but as soon as you do no one is wearing their masks and there are chicken and roosters running around everywhere ! There were even behind the bar where drinks and food were served and there was poop everywhere so instead of upholding flimsy covid protocols they should keep the property clean.
The rooms are so outdated, disgusting carpets , construction happening everywhere so no peace and quiet, the bathrooms are ancient with rust everywhere and the beach isn’t really even usable. It’s rocky, strong currents and no sitting allowed on the beach with any seats or umbrellas!!
Overall this such a waste of money and if you want a badly maintained property with bad food, bad service and rude staff then this resort meets those standards!

Aloha zeusdini, Mahalo for joining us and for taking the time to share your honest feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for your experience with our front desk staff as this does not accurately reflect our service standards or the aloha spirit we aim to share. We're also sorry that our menu options and limited staff was an issue during your stay; after being shut down for a year during COVID we have been trying to hire and bring as much staff back as we possible can as quickly as possible to serve our guests; we're sorry that you found our best efforts to be inadequate and will try harder to elevate the dining experience. As for the COVID protocols, the mask mandate is still a law in the state of Hawaii, we apologize for the inconvenience. We try our best to enforce this as much as we can. Thank you for sharing your comments with us, they have been shared with our management as we take them very seriously and will do our best to address them as soon as possible. If you'd like to further discuss your stay we welcome you to reach out to a manager on duty via our main hotel line at your earliest convenience. We hope you were still able to enjoy all the magic and beauty that the Garden Island of Kaua'i has to offer. Sending much aloha your way. Mahalo nui loa. -Kauai Beach Resort & Spa Your valuable comments have been shared with our management team.

We booked late so had limited options and went for this place because of the outdoor areas which generally had good reviews. But having read several negative reviews we were prepared for some negative experiences. But there were none! We had an excellent 3 days at the resort. The pool area and beachfront (even if it's not a swimming beach) are fantastic. The large area means it never feels busy. The water slide is an additional gem for the kids to add variety.
Yes, rooms are a bit dated but are clean and beds are comfortable. Shower (hot water) worked (some reviews said it takes a long time). We had a nice pool view and I acknowledge that any room facing the backside (odd room numbers in the south wing) are certainly much worse with some dumpster views so best to request a change if you're given one of them. All staff were very friendly and also explained the cleaning policy (only every 2nd day) upon check-in. There are staff shortages across the hospitality industry so I think having a room cleaned only every 2nd day is acceptable. For anyone who doesn't have a car, it's important to note that the resort is isolated and food options are limited and prices are at the higher end (as everywhere in Kauai). But there is a free shuttle to Lihue several times a day. And Uber is also available (although during peak times you have long waits) on the island now. Apparently, they only started a few months ago.

Our room was very comfortable and clean. The grounds are very beautiful and well maintained. If you are looking for a place with a nice beach maybe you should consider another place as there is rock very close to the surface here, but the resort does have four swimming pools and a lot of sunning areas. KBR is very convenient to the airport without the airport noise, and midway between the north and south costs of Kauai, which made it a good location for us. As it was Covid time when we were there all of the restaurants were closed, but they did give us free parking to somewhat compensate. There are plenty of places to eat in Lihue, but you do need a car to get there.

We booked for a week at what we thought would be a good resort. We were very disappointed. The resort needs alot of work.
In our room the wallpaper was coming off the walls in many places, furniture was chipped, overall tired.
Overall they are letting the resort go. There is alot of rust coming through the paint on the outside of the buildings. Many of the fixtures around the resort are rusting and look bad.
The equipment in the fitness center is rusted, some of them do not work and none of the TVs work. Not even the one on the wall. When I asked the staff about the TV situation they said they would look into it. I asked three times during the week and received the same response. They did not seem to be interested in doing anything about the situation.
They seemed understaffed. We tried eating at the bar an told we would have to pick up our drinks and food ourselves from the bar. They had bars and shops by the pool. Some were never open and others were open very limited hours. They said they would have beach items to use or rent like masks, fins and snorkels. These were not available at any time.
We went to the restaurant for the breakfast buffet. It was $25 per person. I have stayed at hotels that provide as good of a buffet complementary. The only good items were the fresh fruit.
I would not suggest this resort.

Aloha DrewandTania, Thank you for taking the time to provide an honest review of your experience with us. Due to our proximity to the ocean water and salt we do see our structures wear a lot more quickly than most. We do have plans to refresh the resort which will address many of the items discussed in your review. Thank you for bringing the TVs in the fitness room to our attention. We do apologize that this was not fixed during your stay with us, despite you having brought it up multiple times. We will ensure our Director of Operations sees this review so that they may address this. If you are able to tell us where you learned of the beach rental items, it would be greatly appreciated. This is currently not a service we offer and would like to make sure our communication shows that. We will also provide your feedback re: buffet to our culinary team. Mahalo, Kauai Beach Resort

Wi-Fi was fine in general for routine stuff - texts, emails etc. - but not sure it can handle bandwidth heavy stuff like Zoom or photo uploads etc. I believe they also have a business center that may be more appropriate for Zoom. Ask the concierge.
It really depends how busy they are. I would make a reservation that way you know you have a table!
No, but the parking is good, easily accessible and covered.
