Nice hotel in convenient location.

Exceptional · Feb 2026

Nice property in good location for exploring all areas of Kauai. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Good staff. Lava Lava lounge was convenient and had good food and nightly entertainment. Very windy in February which made it a little difficult to enjoy the oceanfront location. Complimentary bike use for the adjacent bike path was a nice bonus.

Mellow Vibes, Perfect Location, Already Planning Our Return

Exceptional · Feb 2026

this was our second stay at Kauai Shores Hotel, and just like the first, it couldn’t have been better. (Okay, maybe the weather wasn’t perfect this year.) We stayed twelve nights and were genuinely sad to leave. This place is a great value in a fantastic location. We mostly head to the north shore beaches but also go south occasionally,…

Great place. Kind staff. Easy check-in and out.

Exceptional · Feb 2026

Excellent place to stay. Love the location on the island. Enjoyed the layout of the buildings and our room. Ideally, you want a room with at least a garden view where you can look towards and see the ocean (unless you purchase an ocean view room). All staff were kind and did their jobs well. Room was clean, great shower…
