Great stay!

We had a great stay here. We just needed a place to stay for the night before we could get into our timeshare, and this was a fantastic choice. The service was excellent. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, and there was even a free photo booth in the lobby that my daughter just loved. Would definitely recommend this as a great great place to stay.

Kawai Shores is absolutely beautiful. They have tons of amenities and great entertainment. The only issue I have with them is the parking lot. It’s free parking but because of the restaurant and other places nearby it is very hard to find a parking spot.

The room was spacious, modern, and had very nice amenities. The restaurant was great. Our primary complaint was that we were on the second floor and there are no elevators so we had to carry our suitcases upstairs. I would have also liked it if there was a fitness center. Otherwise it is very nice.

Our stay at Kauai Shores was great. It was enjoyable, clean and staff was very pleasant. I would only recommend one thing to anyone booking with this spot. Definitely request a room away from guest laundry services. Our room was next to the guest laundry services and we heard the door slamming constantly all night long. That was a bit annoying and inconvenient. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience.
