Featured Resorts

The ISO

This property used to be called the Mokihana, and it was fairly run down, but in 2018, after $5 million worth of renovations to rooms, lobby and pool, it was reborn as a boutique-type hotel. You can tell they are trying to appeal to the young budget traveler and do...

Sunset Kahili

This condo was built in 1968 (you’d swear it was the ’50s), it’s old but fairly well-kept in the common areas. Not much changes at this condo on each of our visits and they seem to like it that way. The units all vary, but mostly they are in need of updating. They...

Wailua Bayview

Very clean inside and out, adequately furnished for the money, with an excellent, elevated oceanfront condo location. It’s great to hear the roar of the ocean (and be so close to the beach). Units ending in 01–03 don’t have quite as good a view and can be noisier...

The Cliffs

Most of these condo units are timeshares, but many are not. The room layout is good, especially the third-floor units with lofts (many have been enclosed for privacy) and high ceilings. Buildings 8 and 9 are have a great ocean view (but vacation rentals are never...

Ko‘a Kea Hotel & Resort

This was originally the Po‘ipu Beach Hotel built in the 1960s and whacked by hurricane ‘Iniki in 1992. It was left abandoned until the current owners rebuilt this upscale boutique-type hotel on the original footprint of the old buildings in 2009. The resort is airy...

Islander on the Beach

Wonderful open, plantation-style resort adjacent to Wailua Beach with very relaxing grounds. The Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau buildings are fairly close to the ocean, allowing you to fall asleep to the sound of the surf. Grab a beverage from the poolside bar (2–9 p.m.) and...

Po‘ipu Kai Resort

This sprawling 70-acre resort sports lots of open ground, widely varied condo units and close proximity to the Hyatt, its restaurants and shops. Although many rental agents represent Po‘ipu Kai, Suite Paradise and Aqua-Aston have the most units. Suite...

Kaua‘i Palms Hotel

This is probably your best bet in Lihu‘e for a small hotel (but it is a bit pricier). It has small, clean rooms and few amenities, but the present owner has made an effort with the décor and property. They provide free coffee and tea in the mornings in the...

Kaua‘i Inn

Located in Lihu’e in an out-of-the-way residential area, they may tell you that this was the first hotel on the island (from 1890), but it wasn’t these buildings, and it wasn’t at this spot. Regardless, it’s a simple, clean hotel with comfortable rooms, nice...

Alii Kai I

Most of these condo buildings are perched on the sea cliffs (except numbers 1 and 2). Bldgs. 3, 4 and 5 have the best views and can be quite dreamy, though the mountain views from 1 and 2 are really pleasing. Layouts of these 2/2 units are good with even the second...
