Kauai Palms Hotel, hotel in Lihue

Marriott's Kaua'i Beach Club, hotel in Lihue

Located on Kalapaki Beach, this Lihue resort offers accommodations with free Wi-Fi and fully-equipped kitchenettes. A large outdoor pool area, spa facilities and 6 restaurants are located on site.

We love the beach, accessibility to the rest of the island and the incredible gardens. I was so impressed as we watched daily the diligence and thoroughness of the staff to clean the grills- amazing!

Tip Top Motel, hotel in Lihue

Located in Lihue, Kauai region, Tip Top Motel is situated 6 km from Wailua Falls. Located around 1.3 km from Kalapaki Beach, the motel is also 1.5 km away from Grove Farm Homestead.

It's a motel. You'll have plenty of parking options, the shower is hot and the room is clean. Bathroom will have soap and shower gel with one towel per person. When checking in after 2:30pm they'll tell you the room number and leave the door open for a self check in. It's more expensive than usual motels, but that's just the Hawaiian price. It's still one of the cheapest options. My Fitbit recorded the best sleep I ever had although I'd say it's a usual bed. Generally would recommend and stay there again.

The Royal Sonesta Kauai Resort Lihue, hotel in Lihue

Featuring an outdoor swimming pool, the The Royal Sonesta Kaua'i Resort Lihue is next to Kalapaki Bay and the 18-hole Kauai Lagoons Golf Club. The hotel offers 4 restaurants and a full-service spa.

poor service feels like a factory, no personal or human touch. nothing complimentary: not even water(7$per bottle), no kettle, no bathrobe, no slippers, no room service at night, no toothbrush glass, two paper cups for 2 queen beds, only 2 teabags, nothing in the fridge(even payable)….and the most incredible: 32$ for a breakfast “buffet”(only 4 items!) and a charge for more than one cup of hot water for the room!!!!to say the least: an overall very unpleasant experience for almost 700$ a night! on top of all that, the swimming pool was not even usable

    Be prepared for higher prices than you may be used to.

    Be prepared for higher prices than you may be used to. For example, a pineapple at a road-side stand was $12. I purchased one back home a week after returning from Kauai for $2.18. Fortunately, there is a Costco located in Lihue not far from this unit. Having a kitchen in your lodging during your stay in Hawaii is key to saving money. You can still have poke every day if you want, but by buying it at a store rather than a restaurant you'll save big time. Also, having a car is imperative because the key sights are so spread out. Lihue has breweries, distilleries, fish markets, and grocery stores (Costco, Times, Safeway, Target). All sights on the island are less than a day's drive from Lihue.

    The location is a few minutes from the airport, Walmart and the beach. Everything was clean and the staff was great. Coffee made in the lobby from 8 to 11 am. The kitchen had a small fridge with a freezer comp, hot plate with some pans and everything needed to make and eat small meals. Hot water, comfy bed, towels and soap. AC worked great. Recommend the stay if you need to be by the airport or on this end of the island.

    Lihue is a small working town that serves the tourist industry and the local population. They have rush-hour traffic problems., which I experienced, and the traffic problems on the island are growing. That said, the locals are friendly, they want us to visit, and I felt safe wherever I went. Plenty of amenities.

    Close in shopping at similar prices to what we pay at home.

    Close in shopping at similar prices to what we pay at home. This was a private unit so you need to buy your own toilet paper if you run out (front desk won’t give you any). Safeway is close with a Starbucks, food trucks abound (do try them), Kona’s fish and chips are sooooo good! Don’t miss the museum down town. Waze directions app is amazing at getting you around. Costco is close, so is an Urgent Care. Don’t worry if you leave something home, you can easily buy it there.

    the airport in lihue so it is easy to get to. most folks stay in kapa'a, which has many more food options. lihue has good coffee (it should. coffee is grown on the island) and a nice beach at the marriott hotel. it is a convenient place for exploring the island but is a town. it is not a resort location. good kuwai museum in lihue, tho. i recommend the museum. just don't stay at the tip top hotel. it is a dive,

    This was our first time in Kaui and we only stayed 4 days, then flew to Oahu. We could have stayed longer in Kaui, there is so much to see and do. We really like to drive around the island and find places and things to do. Its definitely more of a day adventure island. It is beautiful. I had a hard time finding something affordable to stay at, and the Royal Sonesta in Lihue ended up being an affordable option, and turned out to be a great option. Although close to the airport, you dont feel like you are. We dont really hang out at the resort so it didnt matter to us where the hotel was however this ended up being a great spot as we were right in the middle and can getting to either side of the island did not take long

    We love, love, love this condo and the entire property. Awesome location right next to Kauai Beach resort, use of their 4 pools was included, though not necessary, as we had a lovely pool and spa right at the condo. Loved the privacy of our own condo, free parking, grounds were beautiful and very well cared for. Villas have 30 second to 4 minute walk to the villa beach, depending on which unit you are in. Condo itself is adorable, and the location was perfect for trips to Lihue (to stock up), and beaches north, east, south and west.

    We landed on this property after landing in Hawaii to find out beautiful Maui was on fire and we couldn’t travel there for our 10 anniversary as planned (we were married there). Staying here proved to be the best choice we made. Beautiful in every sense. Pool is amazing as are the staff! Rooms are super comfy and well appointed. Right on the beach as well if you prefer. Breakfast is great if you get the breakfast package. Close to the airport (free shuttle) yet you wouldn’t know it. Super quiet. We’ll be back for sure!

    The place is perfection is you have kids. We travelled with our 5-year old son and the pool was his favourite part. You really cannot beat the outdoor pool area. On top of that, the rooms are huge with tons of space. We stayed at the Sheraton for the first part of our vacation, and are so glad we chose Royal Sonesta for the rest of it. Absolute best money value for the money and we will be staying here when we come back!

    The staff were so friendly and helpful! Loved the oatmeal bar in the morning with all the yummy toppings. Our room was perfectly clean and comfortable and having all the extras you can borrow from reception was a definite bonus (beach towels, beach equipment etc.) And as for all the people on here complaining about the chickens - if you have a problem with chickens crowing you shouldn't come to Kauai, period!!

    My family needed a place to stay near the airport for one night prior to checking into a rental house for the week. Kauai Palms is an old-Hawaii style hotel that is located very conveniently. The kitchenette allowed us to fix some food and try to get on island time. They offer the BEST coffee in the morning!! We enjoyed sitting outside our rooms and even got to know the neighbors.

    We loved our short stay at Bayan Harbor. The staff who was very helpful and courteous accommodated us to check in one of our condo early to drop off our stuffs. The 2-bedroom condo is spacious for a group of 4 persons. The kitchen is fully equipped to fix a meal if you want to. We would stay at Bayan Harbor again if we visit Kauai in the future.

    We picked this hotel (which my wife discovered online is more of a motel) based on it being the cheapest option we could find on Booking.com and it was close to the airport for an early morning flight.
