Located in Kapaa, Kauai Shores Hotel is an oceanfront hotel that features a private beach, a beachfront restaurant, and a 6-acre tropical courtyard complete with 2 outdoor pools.

Bikes to use for free. Right next to a market and restaurants. The room was nice and spacious. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice size. Lots of storage for a basic room!Perfect!

Sheraton Kauai Coconut Beach Resort, hotel in Kapaa

Located on the east coast of Kauai Island, the Sheraton Kauai Coconut Beach Resort is directly on Coconut Beach. It features an on-site restaurant and rooms with a private balcony.

Very nice view from the room of the ocean and overlooking the central courtyard. Aesthetics of the garden furniture, tiki torches, ambient lighting created a relaxing and romantic setting. Love the outdoor fire pits. This was a place to sit and enjoy the evening with your loved ones.

Hotel Coral Reef, hotel in Kapaa

Featuring an oceanfront location near Historic Kapaa town, this Hawaii accommodations offers an oceanfront lagoon-style swimming pool. Free WiFi is offered in all oceanfront guestrooms and the lobby.

We were upgraded to an ocean view room that had a terrace with 2 chairs and a small table. Ate one takeout supper there, and also had a fine view of the sun rising over the ocean between tall palms - nothing between the hotel lawn and the shoreline but a public walking/jogging path. Interesting heritage cabinet furniture pieces (big flatscreen tv inside the tall one) in the room. Used the minifridge and microwave frequently for snacks and leftovers. There was an outdoor pool with a decorative waterfall that was enjoyed by other families, but we were too busy to use it. I think the office lent out pool toys and beach chairs, but again we didn't use them. Very happy with the value - we paid much more for much less elsewhere in the islands.

CASTLE Kaha Lani Resort, hotel in Kapaa

Right on Lydgate Beach less than half a mile from Wailua River State Park, this oceanfront Lihue property features apartments with free Wi-Fi and large private terraces with views.

The location is a little isolated. We didn’t hear the road. The room had everything needed except a pineapple corer. Comfortable. We will return. We stayed dry during the two 10-inch rain days.

    Kapaa is often overlooked for the northshore and Poipu.

    Kapaa is often overlooked for the northshore and Poipu. It is actually the pulse of the island and you will run into more locals here. Restaurants are conveniently located and a wide variety at decent prices.

    Kapaa is a great central location.

    Kapaa is a great central location. The traffic is bad, but most people drive with the Aloha spirit and let you merge in front of them. I would stay there again but definitely avoid booking anything through Booking.com! Finding a reasonably-priced place to eat is a real challenge, not only in Kapaa but everywhere on the island. I spent almost $100 for two of us to eat at a Mexican restaurant.

    We chose Kapaa because of it's proximity to the beach and to the Hindu Monastery which we visited multiple times. Turned out to be a great choice because it also seemed quieter compared to the beach crowds we saw in Poipu or Hanalei/Princeville. There's a grocery in walking distance to the hotel, small stores as well in a strip mall, great restaurants (the top rated Mexican restos are in Kapaa) all at fairly reasonable prices compared to what we saw in other parts of the island.

    Decent location, clean, overall good enough as just a place to stay and sleep. Nice little lawn with games etc. convenient to the coconut marketplace and lava lava beach club. Not that full when we went so we didn’t have trouble parking. Giving us a plant at check in was a nice touch. Live entertainment by the beach/pool was also really lovey. Overall despite the negatives I would recommend this as a “budget” option in Kauai (budget in quotes because it’s still quite expensive for what you get… but that’s Hawaii for you)

    The best thing about this hotel is the location. Its right on a beach and a walking trail. It's also within walking distance to town. The front desk staff were very friendly, and the banana bread was a plus. There is no breakfast, but there is banana bread many mornings. It looks nice from the outside. There are chickens and roosters wandering around the property, that was pretty cool. The pool was nice.

    It is a very nice property with all the basic things that you would need during your stay. The property looks over the pool and the ocean. It is very quiet during the night. You can enjoy a glass on the balcony. It is very close to Coconut Marketplace where you can find different shops and restaurants. You would need a car for Kapaa town centre. The best restaurant in the area is Lava Lava Beach Club.

    The hosts, Carol and Les, were wonderful. We couldn't find a cab or Uber to take us to the car rental facility (by the way, don't even think of not having a car in Kauai). They took the time to drive us there. They gave us a tour of the garden which is beautiful, made us aware of the local places to visits and eat and were generally very friendly and pleasant. You could not ask for better hosts.

    We had a great stay at Kauai Coast Resort! Our departing flight got cancelled and they were able to accommodate us for an extra night. The staff was very helpful with everything. We had a great room with plenty of space for our family of four. Our boys loved the pool as well. The coconut marketplace was right across the street and had several souvenir shops, restaurants and an ABC store.

    I liked the large room with high ceilings, the king bed, the little lanai and the ocean view. The service was very friendly with lots of Aloha. I loved the great price we got booking on Priceline. I also loved the convenience of the open parking lot, with parking included with our stay, along with the Longs Drugs right next door and the convenience of the location in Kapaa.

    We had an oceanfront room, which I would highly recommend. There is no air conditioning so an oceanfront room is a good choice for that reason as well. I have been to Kauai 14 times and have stayed at Kaha Lani every time but one. The view is amazing. Centrally located. You do not hear the traffic (just the ocean and the roosters :)
