Beachfront Dining Delight

“I had the pleasure of dining at the Lava Lava Beach Club, which is conveniently located on the hotel hotel. The beach views during breakfast were unbeatable, and though the menu isn't extensive, the food was delicious. The live music in the evenings created a lovely atmosphere for dinner. I highly recommend the Tipsy Tots; they were a standout from the menu!” view full review

Comfortable Rooms with Lanai

“Our room at Kauai Shores came with its own private lanai, which was perfect for enjoying the beautiful views. It had a clean, cheerful decor that made us feel right at home. The air conditioning worked beautifully, allowing us to escape the island's humidity whenever needed.” view full review

I had a fantastic experience at Kauai Shores Hotel! The atmosphere is relaxed and not overwhelming like larger resorts, which I really appreciated. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making my stay feel special. The location is excellent, right by the beach and close to shops and restaurants. However, the rooms were decent but basic, lacking in storage space. The dining experience was good, with nice food but a limited breakfast selection. Overall, I felt it was a great value for the price, with some areas for improvement.
