"Although a bit dated we had a lovely stay here. The draw back here is although there is a beach it isn't a great one and dangerous to swim at as the undertow is very very strong. Also there is an enormous amout of driftwood and large pieces of wood in the water which is very dangerous. The staff were lovely. The grounds were beautiful. The rooms are bit dated and you only get your room cleaned once in a five day stay. There are a few great places to eat near by and an ABC store that has just...

Kauai Inn

Kauai Inn

5/5 Excellent
Home away from home in paradise.
"The Kauai Inn is a hidden gem on the Garden Island. Located about 10 minutes from airport away from town, it sits at base of a mountain range in tropical splendor. Sitting by the pool/patio for breakfast or under tiki torches in the evening listening to Hawaiian music was relaxing and refreshing for the soul. Welcomed with a lei greeting, the staff remained available to make suggestions or help you plan your day. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Continental breakfast with packaged food and lots of fresh fruit provided daily. Coffee available on patio all day. Rooms had microwaves and mini frig. Bonus guest laundry available if needed.From this location, we enjoyed our 3 favorite activities of our Hawaii vacation - doors of helicopter tour of Napali coast, mountain tubing and sunset dinner cruise of Napali coast. The only downside was that bridge is currently out so you have to drive longer way around to get there (about 15 minutes rather than 5) from Lihue and there are no walkable restaurants."
