This hotel is simply the greatest value on Kauai with the nicest staff, well-kept rooms and grounds, beautiful ocean-front location, and communal feel with guests coming out nightly for dinner and drinks at the Lava Lava Restaurant. This will be my go-to hotel when I return to the islands.

The pool and the beach were wonderful! So beautiful! Staff was great. Food at the restaurant was very good. The only reason I'm not giving five stars, is that there is no elevator, and we had a hard time dragging our suitcases up and down the steps.
