Top Nawiliwili Bay Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta Kaua'i Resort Lihue

8/10 Good

"This was a wonderful property. Clean and enjoyable. Great location with beautiful beach access. It felt as though we had a private beach. My only issue was that I booked an ocean-view room and we couldn't see the ocean unless we went out on the patio. Overall, we had a nice stay. Next time, I would prefer to actually see the ocean from my room as I have at other locations."

Kauai Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Kauai Inn! The property itself is beautiful and peaceful, with lots of wildlife to keep you company. You will be greeted by many roosters, their resident cats, and even peacocks! The complimentary breakfast was as basic as it gets - bagels, croissants, cereal, fruit, coffee, and tea. There is free parking, a pool, live music on certain week nights, and movie night on Saturdays. They rent out snorkel gear and beach towels as well. It is located close to the airport and other local restaurants. Overall we would absolutely return here if we visit Kauai again!"

Modern Oceanfront Resort Living. Luxury Oceanfront Bedroom Suites. Sleeps 10!

10/10 Excellent

"The home is lovely and modern with absolutely incredible views of the bay, evening sunsets, and colorful sunsets. We are a family of 5 that utilized heavily the well appointed kitchen and made plenty of use of the washer and dryer. The space inside is open, clean, and contemporary. The host added many nice bonuses such as toys, puzzles, and activities for kids in addition to anything and everything you would need for a day at the beach. The property is accessible to anywhere on the island and is centrally located to everything. The short walk to town makes for a nice stroll to dinner, shaved ice for dessert, or some souvenirs shopping. All in all, a great place to stay while visiting the beautiful island of Kauai!"

LAST MINUTE DEAL! 2BR in Lihue, minutes from the beach. Perfect for a getaway!

8/10 Good

"Very clean property, in a good location on the island. Very nice pool area. Lots of noise from the highway. The a/c had a timer on it you have to crank every 6 hours. The property had minimal kitchen equipment. No large skillets, no cookie sheets. No hair dryer. No beach equipment at all."

PRIVATE Ocean Front Cottage Over Looking Beautiful Kalapaki Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome location walkable to beach, Sonesta Resort, Dukes, Golf Course and nearby coffee and shops. We rented both A & B which was comfortable for our family group of 9. Property shows some age and is in need of a few small repairs, new screen door but overall great value for the money."

Spectacular Oceanfront Penthouse, AC, Sleeps 6

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house and great location. Thanks again for a wonderful staycation. We will be back! Aloha!"

Breathtaking Oceanfront Suite @ Kalapaki Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for our 10 year anniversary. Waking up to the waves of Kalapaki Bay was just what we needed. This place is very comfortable and we will definitely come back. Two nights is not enough."

NEW A/C! - Two Bedroom With Breathtaking Ocean Kalapaki Bay Views in Lihue

8/10 Good

"Overall this is a solid rental and we had a great time.The positives: amazing location and view, quick walk to beach, response from host was very good, kitchen is well stocked with supplies, beach chairs, towels, etc.The negatives: space is in need of some upgrades, some have been done but seemed to be patched together. AC in living room is insufficient during daylight hours. Square footage is quite small compared to how it looks online. Little tight for a family of 4.For the price, not sure that I would do this particular rental again, but still (barely) beats the price of the hotel next door."

WOW-2BR@Beach Hear Waves-Value Best Location -Sept special 40 off a night SALE

10/10 Excellent
