Pros:

The hotel staff were very accommodating when I requested to check in early as we got there before noon. Overall it was a great experience. We will definitely stay there again.

Cons:

There was this beeping sound all the time right in front of our room. The insulation isn't that good that you can hear people when they're walking the hallway or cars passing by.

Decent location and price but bad wi-fi and a few other rough edges
Pros:

The location is great, and the room was clean and quiet. The staff was also friendly.

Cons:

I reserved a garden view room, but I had a view of a staircase. The wi-fi was spotty, and I had to go to the lobby to get a decent signal. The TV didn't work well, and while I had hot water in the shower, hot water in the bathroom sink wasn't always hot.

Tolles Hotel an einem Traumstrand !
Pros:

Tolle Unterkunft an einem Traumstrand. Die Lage ist auch ideal um die Insel zu erkunden. Wir liebten es nach unserer Tour an der Lava Bar zu sitzen. Cocktails waren mega und das Personal Super. Auch das Essen war hier richtig gut. Zimmer waren Sauber und immer ordentlich. Man konnte sich früh erst mal auf dem Zimmer einen Kaffee kochen. Eismaschiene und Wasserspender in jedem Block vorhanden.

Pros:

Das Personal war freundlich.

Cons:

Leider hat zum Zeitpunkt unseres Aufenthalts Hurrikan Lowell gewütet, daher haben wir kurzfristig umgebucht und sind in diesem Hotel gelandet. Es ist uns bewusst, dass es zu Stromausfällen etc kommt. Jedoch war die Organisation von seitens des Hotels sehr schlecht. Es war stickig und warm, die Zimmer wurden nicht geräumt bzw. für uns wichtig die Mülleimer zu leeren da wir uns alle selbst versorgen mussten weil das Hotel kein Essen und keine Getränke mehr angeboten hat und entsprechend die Mülleimer voll waren und auch durch die Hitze gerochen haben. Zudem war tagelang der Pool geschlossen, in den anderen Hotels nebenan durften alle schwimmen. Wir hätten uns bei den Temperaturen und der gestauten Hitze im Zimmer über eine Abkühlung gefreut. Außerdem war es durchgehend laut. Von morgens bis abends.

Had a great time, Kauai is beautiful, staff was excellent.
Pros:

The location to the Cocoanut Market was great.
Location for pick-up was good. Didn’t have to walk far to be picked up
Staff was excellent, dining was close and good, family friendly.
Relaxing. The beds were great.
Water stations were nice.

Cons:

Thought that some rooms actually faced the ocean, disappointed that none did.
No pool or beach staff, wanted to lay by the pool or beach and have a mai tai, that was not possible
Couldn’t charge room for food or drink, had to have money or credit with you

No el tornaria a reservar
Pros:

L habitacio correcte , pero he pagat un recarrec de vista mar i no tenen habitacions vista mar. Ja us he fet la reclamacio.
Crec que haurien de fer una mica d inversio . La piscina es petita i molt antiga fa una mica d angunia de banyar, no es veu gaire neta.
Els hi he dit lo dd vista mar i fsn veure que no saben de que parlo.
Per tant , hotel normal.

Cons:

El que he dit a dalt .
