We really loved how centrally located it was. Great property. Walking distance to shopping and dining. Restaurant and bar on site with Live Music- On the beach! It really was great. My ONLY criticism is that I would have liked to have heard more Hawaiian Music from the live Musicians. We were their to appreciate the culture and the music is part of it. But, we will definitely stay there again!!

First time here in Kaua’i and Kaua’i Shores Hotel and I love it here. Nice place to stay. Very convenient area with shopping centers, restaurants. And Restaurant in the property. Parking is small and tight. But the good thing is, just drive up to the lobby and they have valet there. It’s complimentary but to forget to tip those valet guys. They’re awesome and professional!

It is nicely situated in a central part of the island, not far from the airport, with a shopping center nearby and a great restaurant on site! I wouldn’t call this a “deluxe” property but for the price (not cheap, but not super expensive), it was top notch!

The property is gorgeous! Lush gardens and landscaping everywhere, stunning beach views, and beautiful furnishings both inside the rooms and in common areas. My favorite was the nighttime armosphere with poolside fireplaces and tiki torches lighting the way. The free morning yoga class and being steps from the shops at coconut marketplace were a huge plus.

Loved the staff, free yoga each morning, pool/hot tub, and restaurant on site. Definitely recommend having valet park your vehicle (no cost), as the parking is snug. Would absolutely stay here again. Rooms were clean and quiet. 10/10 recommend.

Stayed in August 2024 and it was a very pleasant experience. Attended the free yoga twice, the pool area is clean and the rooms are just perfect. Amazing service by the front desk and free bike rentals to explore the area. Definitely staying here again next time.

Manger sucks!
First I tried to check in 2 hour early. Front desk says nothing available. Fine. But told me they would text me when 1 becomes available. 2 hours go by no call. Get to hotel at 3:30 still nothing available even though they checked in 3 other couples in front me. The front desk girl says I found a room it just wasn’t the room they had assigned to me (even though it was the same kind of room I had reserved) I asked the manager there at the time if I could be upgraded. But she said Nope just like that without even asking what happened. So she sucks!!! Her answer was “we do not check in people till 4pm”. (Even though as I stated before 3 other couples just checked in ahead of me).so she lied right in my face. So I told her your customer service sucks. And she was alful after that laughing it off like she had all this power. Very rude stuck up manager

I recently stayed at this newly renovated property and had an absolutely wonderful experience! The staff is incredibly friendly, with Angela at the front desk standing out for her amazing energy and helpfulness. She just has this positive vibe that makes you feel right at home, though everyone was fantastic. The hotel offers some fun outdoor games that add a playful touch to your stay. The beach nearby is a bit wavy, but it’s so much fun to swim in, and the soft sand makes it even better. One of the highlights for me was waking up early to catch the sunrise over the ocean — truly a breathtaking experience and one of my favorite memories from the trip. While the parking spots are a bit small and can be tricky, it's manageable and definitely not a dealbreaker. The rooms were always clean and well-prepped, and the housekeeping staff ensured they stayed that way throughout my stay. There’s also a scenic garden walk nearby that’s absolutely worth exploring. It’s peaceful and offers views of all kinds of beautiful plants, which makes for a relaxing stroll. Overall, this hotel was a fantastic choice, and I can’t wait to visit again!
