Top Kauai Hotel Reviews

Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great gym, beautiful pools, helpful staff."

Kaua'i Palms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at the Kauai Palms was absolutely amazing. The staff was so helpful and friendly from the moment that I checked in to the moment that I left. Everyone was so warm and friendly and treated me like I was family. I will definitely come back again the next time I come to Kauai!!"

Banyan Harbor Resort

8/10 Good

"The room itself (2 bedroom suite) was lovely. Lots of room, full kitchen, everything you’d need for a multiple night stay for a family of 3-4. A lot of space! A/C was a bit loud when it was on but very nice to have laundry in the unit. Has cable tv which is a rarity nowadays. Rooms were clean… maybe a little outdated. Only real criticism is the amenities. This place sells itself as a “resort” but the pool was filthy (gnats everywhere), the tennis and pickleball courts were laughable and it seemed like the office would try to keep those things closed rather than let guests use them. Pool was closed the first day we were there for absolutely no reason. We stayed two nights because our flight off the island was cancelled due to a tropical storm. It was heavily discounted but I think it should normally be priced as a hotel room, not a resort, cause it doesn’t have a resort sort of experience. I know everything in Hawaii is more expensive but this should be a $200-250 a night place at max. If you’re paying more than that, you’ll be disappointed."

Aston Islander on the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Cutest place ever with great Staff. Would definitely stay here again. Rooms come with a Kurig coffee maker, mini fridge and microwave. Convenient location within walking distance to Coconut Marketplace. They have a water station to refill water bottles and you can rent DVDs for free."

"Absolutely Phenomenal resort! I was there celebrating my 50th birthday and they went above and beyond making my trip special! I even saw dolphins from our hotel room with an epic view of the ocean. I could not have asked for a better gift! We used the adults only pool, ate a couple of meals at the small restaurant on site, walked to the beach (so close), rented snorkel gear. We didn’t get a chance to use the transportation they offered to go to local spots, because we had our own car, but loved that they had that. Free parking too, that was wonderful! Tori was very sweet, helpful with great communication. Making my stay just perfect. I didn’t get a chance to get a spa treatment but I’m sure that would have been heavenly too Very grateful and will highly recommend Koloa Landing Resort!"
