Pros:

נוף לים. מקרר בחדר.
ארוחת בוקר קלה לקחת.
מיקום

Cons:

בבוקינג הנכס מפורסם כמלון4 כוכבים. בפועל מרגיש יותר כמו מוטל.
קיבלנו חדר בקומה שלישית. אין מעלית ובשום מקום באתר של בוקינג לא היה רשום שאין מעלית. ניקיון חדרים מבוצע רק על פי דרישת הלקוח והממתנה של 24 שעות(לא נאמר דבר על ההמתנה בצ'ק אין).
זרם מים מאוד חלש במקלחת.
חדר מיושן ולא מתוחזק

A wonderful, cozy stay in a perfect location for exploring Kauai!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay! The hotel was very clean, cozy, and comfortable. The location was perfect — close to the airport, right by the ocean, and very convenient for exploring both sides of Kauai. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. We were completely happy with our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel!

Cons:

Honestly, we didn’t have any issues during our stay. Everything was great!

Decepcionante
Pros:

El hotel está a 1min andando de la playa. Hay bicis gratis, según orden de llegada, no se pueden reservar.

Cons:

El desayuno es"grab&go"- debe ser que no lo entendí así a la hora de reservar. Solo hay bollos, cereales, leche y batido de chocolate. La fruta es un espectáculo: 2 trocitos de sandía y 2 trocitos de piña, cuando digo trocitos son trocitos muy pequeños. Hay cafetera en la habitación y te dan sobres de café para hacértelo tú mismo. Ojo!!! Para que te hagan la habitación hay que pedirlo en recepción con 24h de antelación, incluso a nosotros nos dijeron que ya que habían hecho la habitación el día anterior, que no pasaba nada si no la hacían el día siguiente.El personal nada amable, te miran mal si pides más café, y el personal de limpieza está esperando propina siempre.

Sehr schlechtes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, nie wieder! Ein schlechtes 3 Sterne Hotel, mehr nicht!
Pros:

Die Lage war sehr gut!

Cons:

Arriving at this hotel felt a bit like eagerly looking forward to your favorite meal when you are hungry, only to be served something prepared without passion, burnt, and bland.

In general, I have been satisfied with Booking.com star-ratings in the past. Unfortunately, in this case, the actual hotel experience did not live up to the expectations created by its four-star classification on Booking.com and the hotel’s own website. I would, however, like to mention that the housekeeping staff did a great job.

The main issues were:

* The beach does not provide direct access to the ocean.
* There is no restroom in the pool area.
* The restaurant is closed.
* There is no elevator serving the third floor.
* The property is outdated, poorly maintained, and dirty in several areas.
* The air conditioning has a noticeable mould-like smell.
* The carpet in the room smells unpleasant.
* Breakfast consists of only a very basic grab-and-go selection, including cereal, fruit, and a few snack bars. Everything is packaged in plastic.
* The vending machine near reception is the only place where drinks can be purchased, and it offers only soft drinks. To be fair, free fresh water is also available.
* There are no conveniently located power outlets next to the bed, as one would normally expect in a three- or four-star hotel.
* The safe in the room is extremely rusty and appears to be there for decoration rather than actual use.

We would not have booked this hotel had we known what it was really like. We raised our concerns in person at reception, but unfortunately, this did not lead to any meaningful solution. Instead, we were met with a dismissive attitude from the reception staff.

My advice is to consider one of the neighboring hotels instead. They appear to be much better options.

The greatest view of any hotel we have ever stayed ,super spacious comfy room. We will be back!
Pros:

Now bear in mind we arrived here after 2 weeks in Japan were a hotel room in a shoe box with a bed .We opened the door into our room and it felt like a Wow !! are we this rich? It was massive and we are late 50s ok let's say 60 and have traveled quite a bit but never in my long legged life have we stayed in a room with views like this .I could live here !
Extremely spacious ,loads of TV channels ,nice bathroom , pool, lawns, grab and go breakfast. We slept with our balcony door opened every night AC off a fell asleep to the sound of the ocean. Went for walks along the beach directly off the property .Free bikes were a bonus as there's a really nice bike path along the beach .

Cons:

This hotel is pretty old ,rooms are really nice but the building is showing signs of wear ,a bit like myself .
Thats it ! No other complaints from me, What about you honey ? 😂
