Top Kawaihau Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta Kaua'i Resort Lihue

8/10 Good

"Great beach out front, helpful staff and clean rooms. No frills"

Aston Islander on the Beach

8/10 Good

"This was our first time staying at a property like this. We typically choose resort-style or well-known chain hotels, so we wanted to try something different on this trip. We were pleasantly surprised by the convenient location and the unique charm of the property. The staff was friendly for the most part, but one employee stood out because she seemed unhappy in her role, which made our interaction feel less welcoming. Aside from that, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the opportunity to experience something different."

Banyan Harbor Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the place! It fit 6 of us perfectly! Parking was easy as there’s many open spots to choose from. Early check in was only $50 so that was definitely an easy YES for us. The second bedroom (full bed) didn’t have a ceiling, it was just a wall and door from the hallway so you can hear everything from the hallway to that room which isn’t a problem if you don’t mind. Everything was extremely clean and the service was very easy, if we needed anything, we just asked the office and exchanged dirty towels every day! Also multiple AC units which kept the house nice and cold and a washer/dryer for convenience! There’s a cute shopping mall and lots of food walking distance and an extremely cute bar called Nawiliwili Bar & Lounge and I definitely recommend checking that out if you like that vibe. ONLY downside in my opinion is the lack of beaches in the area and main attractions. Poipu definitely has better beaches and attractions and more sun (at least when we were there). Overall, I definitely would rate this place a 10/10 with price/quality/cleanliness/friendliness and would 100% come back! Get a car and explore! <3"
