The Kauai Inn, hotel in Lihue

The plantation-style Kauai Inn features an outdoor pool and beautiful views of the green Hula'eia Mountains. It is next to Niumalu Beach Park and Nawiliwili Bay’s surfing and fishing.

I usually stay here because it is close to the harbor; however due to recent floods, the distance to drive is now 15 minuts versus 2 minutes.

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.

The location is nice. The food was good at all the restaurants. I did not like that I could not bring a lounge chair on to the sand and had to keep it on the grass area.

Pali Kai Cottage 17 A, Ocean Bluff, Nawiliwili, hotel in Lihue

Pali Kai Cottage 17 A, Ocean Bluff, Nawiliwili is located in Lihue, just 1.7 miles from Niumalu Beach and 6.9 miles from Lydgate State Park.

The view became more exceptional as we noticed more things happening in the bay: outrigger canoe and regular canoe races, sailboat races, surfers, foil (motorized surfboard) surfers, beach volleyball games, and large cruise ships (two during the week we were there). This location is in the flight path of the helicopter excursions to Kauai’s highlights so expect noise in the morning. No worries about being awakened by them. The roosters which are everywhere on the island will awaken you much earlier than when the helicopters begin flying. The unit has been partially upgraded within the past few years so that the kitchen seemed more modern than the rest of the unit although there was NO dishwasher. There were lots of spices and condiments (including olive and sesame oil, soy sauce, and honey), rice, and oatmeal. The shower stall was nicely tiled and the “wood” floor relatively new. The windows/doors looking out onto the patio were relatively new (mini blinds inside double pane glass).

    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.

    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!

    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.

    The hotel is close to the airport and Lihue town, which is a relatively convenient location. The staffs are nice, and the hotel provides free beach towel and beach chair, which helped us a lot. In general, the hotels are expensive on this island, so this hotel is relatively cheap.

    Great communication and clean - Lihue is just not the greatest place to stay in terms of location. This was a bit expensive from my perspective (but one of the best deals in the area). We stayed here the night we landed and then went on a helicopter tour the next day

    A good location in Lihue, ideal to visit different parts of the island every day. A good size room, with clean amenities. It's a good option when travelling to Kaui on a budget, but you can't expect too much from it either.
