The Kauai Beach resort is a great property and perfectly located just north of the airport in Lihue. Having use of the pools and amenities on the property was handy, although we only went to the pool once and never went to the restaurants because there was so much to do and eat off of the property. We hadn't realized that we could have booked a room at the Kauai Beach Resort Directly and may have considered that just to get our room tidied up each day. That being said, the price was unbeatable and we're fairly organized and cleanly, so it didn't make much of an impact on us to not have cleaning service. The roosters will wake you up at 4:30 am, so be prepared! The room doesn't have a great view (parking lot) as others have said, but the proximity to everything on the island was great, and we didn't spend much time in our room, so the view didn't matter much to us. The coffee machine was a little temperamental, but my engineer husband was able to coax it into working. We ended up purchasing a couple of bowls and plastic utensils to make our own breakfasts, so the microwave and fridge we very handy.
