Hotel berhampiran Pu’u Hinahina Lookout, Pulau Kauai

I almost don’t want to write this so I can keep this secret AMAZING hotel in my back pocket. This was our first time in Hawaii and my criteria was to be on the beach in a laid back location. I work in the design industry, so I appreciated the way that the rooms were both laid out and the updated comfortable furnishings. We were in a unit with a beach view on the ground floor. Every morning we would wake up to watch a stunning sunrise and wander slowly on the beach for a stroll with our coffee. We had our teenage daughter with us who had her own closed off area and bathroom. Having 2 bathrooms and a kitchen was incredible. We ended up cooking more than going out due to how expensive all of restaurants are. There were grills located near the pool area that we utilized and laundry services that looked great but we never partook. Having a pool and hot tub was a nice bonus, but we spent most of our time exploring the beaches so we really only dipped in later in the afternoons. The staff was and will be one of my main reasons for returning. They could not have been more accommodating and lovely. Thank you Makanna for jumpstarting our car! Just to begin my accolades of every single person that worked there that we interacted with. Lei was the first person that we met and her calm nature was just so lovely. Shout out to Lehua for driving us to the botanical gardens when our car broke down and for just being such a sweetheart of a person and a wealth of knowledge. We met several of the staff that I can’t recall their names but when I bumped into them in town, it was like seeing an old friend. Thank you to the staff that continuously provided us with clean towels and renewed our tp and paper towels. We met Juliette one afternoon and she was so sweet. Chawaka, Sierra and Dayna, our stay was perfect because of the care that you took. I cannot wait to return, too bad that we love soo far away. Until next time 🤙❤️🤙❤️🤙❤️

Very nice resort in Princeville with HUGE accommodations ( 2 bdrm 2 bath) we were lucky to get above ground floor where we had a 1200 sqft unit fully equipped including full kitchen with a large wrap around lanai . Complex was quiet except for the island roosters. The staff were friendly and property was immaculate and tropical. If I was to complain about anything it would be the small jacuzzi spa, but that’s the fault of the design architect. This was our second stay here, first as honeymooners and now as a family!

Loved it! Best hotel experience ever on Earth! Fantastic! Better than the Westin! Better than luxury condos! I loved the experience of being at Kauai's Hilton Garden Inn. It was my first time on the island of Kauai, and I really wanted a real experience but also luxury. Included in my hotel stay were 1) awesome ukulele lessons by Kalani Joe that had me playing real songs in minutes, 2) awesome hula dancing lessons (that taught me a whole, real hula dance with good technique and with a gorgeous view of the ocean by Kiana, and 3) awesome ti leaf and orchid lei making classes that enabled me to make a complete and beautiful Hawaiian flower necklace from local raw materials (leaves and flowers) by Kiana. We also saw an exciting fire dancing show at the hotel; in this show were the most dangerous, heart-stopping stunts I have ever seen. The show also included hula dancing and beautiful live music. The hotel restaurant/bar, Mamahune's, has the best French fries I have ever tasted and (completely delicious and vegetarian) taro burger with pineapple jam that I liked so much, I would travel to Kauai just to eat the taro burger with pineapple jam. Also at the hotel, the concierge, Courtney, is fantastic and gave us great, real advice that led us to great experiences; she surfs and snorkels and gives good advice. Additionally, the hotel is located right at a state park with the safest (and good) snorkeling right at the beach in front of the hotel, in two ponds protected by rocks. In the larger of the two small protected ponds, I saw bluefin trevally, saddle wrasses, tangs, sergeant major fish, and many more kinds of colorful fish of relatively large size. The hotel offers all good coffee in the morning and chilled, tasty POG (punch) in the afternoon, and the front desk staff led by Amy are great! The vibe of the rooms is relaxing and feels good. Furthermore, the swimming pool is the exact ideal temperature for swimming and just enjoying the pool in daytime or at night and is surrounded by beautiful flowering plants and a spectacular sunset view. Another great thing about this hotel is the interior design: it feels like a movie or TV set for Charlie's Angels. Also, of note, the hotel next to a very important historical and spiritual site for Hawaiians. If you are interested in history, culture, religion, spiritualism, authentic experiences, this site is a place to respectfully visit. Loved this hotel! I want to book another vacation there asap. Great rooms, service, and location! Hotel highlights: Luxury · Great view · Romantic · Quiet · Kid-friendly · Great value Rooms: large rooms, great views, comfy bed, good shower tub, includes refrigerators, cabinets, microwave Nearby activities: protected snorkel/swim area, beach, important historical/spiritual site Safety: very safe Walkability: great.

This time that I stayed, there was not the best room. This is my fourth time staying there and the last trip I got to stay in the remodeled rooms which were great. This last trip. I stayed in the older one and the room was pretty stinky smelling like mildew, but it was just for one night 

UPDATE 6:30 a.m. 6/21/2024: After calling again, someone was finally sent to our room to spray the kitchen around 11:00 a.m. You would think that would help, BUT, last night, as my daughter was getting a bowl from the cabinet, she was greeted by another cockroach. This time, it was BIG! I opened the other side of the cabinet to be startled by 2 more big ones running around! After spending hours trying to kill them and cleaning roach droppings, I called the front desk and was told again that no one could come until morning since she did not have access to the spray. I mentioned that the person who came in the morning said that he has sticky traps, but that management doesn't like to use them. I told him that we already know that the roaches exist and wanted them. When the maintenance person arrived I showed him the video and even he was shocked by the size. His exact words, ”Oh wow, ma'am. That is big!” I asked if other units are having the same issue and he claimed that we were the only ones. While he was there, he found a few more dead ones under the sink. He placed several traps down and now we are waiting for someone to come spray. Meanwhile, right before I submitted this review, I went to check and two of our roach friends are stuck on the trap still alive and moving. I haven't even checked the others. This is completely unacceptable and there is no offer or option to switch rooms. Instead, I have to spend hours of my vacation trying to kill roaches and sanitize everything. Thankfully we decided not to cook or use the kitchen, but any snacks we have that are open have been shoved into the refrigerator. I mean, has anyone had to refrigerate a bag of Doritos before? The 2 stars originally given is now 1. 6:15 a.m. 6/20/2024: We are currently here at Kauai Beach Villas and the rooms though spacious, could use a little updating. The grounds are nice and the option to use the pool at the Outrigger is great because it makes it feel more like you're staying at a resort. The reason for 2 stars is due to the cleanliness of the room. When we checked in, the kitchen counter still had leftover pieces of rice on it and there were crumbs on the kitchen table. Utensils had leftover food stuck to it, so my advice is to stick everything into the dishwasher before using them. Knives are rusted and the linens were stained. The couch was filthy, stained and it felt gross to sit on it. Additionally, we ate out the first two nights, so we hadn't really spent any time in the kitchen because we're not cooking, but decided to order food for takeout last night and found a COCKROACH run across the kitchen floor! I decided to check all the cabinets and found two more under the sink and a dead fly next to some dishes. I immediately called the front desk because the last thing I wanted was to bring one them home with me. The person who answered the phone was not surprised. She mentioned that the rooms are sprayed once a month, but that she would send someone in the mo

I loved my stay here! I rented an ocean-facing, ground floor room and was not disappointed. The sunrise every morning was superb! Everything was close by, food/restaurant options were plenty, and there is a nice long walking path along the ocean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It's hard to rate the ”service” since I was only there for 3 days (they don't clean the rooms unless you stay for 5).

Tempat ini sangat mengagumkan! Kami terpaksa menempah lokasi ini pada saat-saat terakhir dan sejauh ini merupakan tempat paling murah untuk tinggal di pulau ini! Harga yang sangat berpatutan dan upacara di laut dan jika anda mendapat kondo di tingkat atas, anda akan mendapat pemandangan laut. Kami menyukai tempat ini juga sangat lapang untuk kami, bilik kami mempunyai bilik tidur dengan 2 katil kembar dan ruang tamu dengan dapur kecil dan tilam sofa tarik. Kami mempunyai rakan-rakan yang tinggal di pantai Poipu dan bilik kami jauh lebih bagus, lebih besar dan sekitar $ 1500 lebih murah. Kami membayar di bawah $ 1000 selama 7 hari. Saya akan kembali ke lokasi ini.

Nice staff and very helpful. Vintage motel at a good price… plus no resort fee.

This hotel is right in the middle of everything. Easy walking to restaurants along the beach or shopping in the area. They now have air conditioning in the units. After reading negative reviews we are happy to say there is now a/c, we found a nice beach area to set up chairs and play in the water. Sure there are lots of chickens and roosters but they add to the charm of the area. They did not keep us up since we had a little portable fan to help with noise. Very quiet in the evenings. Down side the pool was cold so we didn’t go in it.
