Hotel in zona Huleia National Wildlife Refuge, Kauai Island

The hotel is quaint and calm—away from hustle-and-bustle of Lihue proper. Pros: Solitude. Beautiful lush mountains and the view is gorgeous. Scenic overlook on way to hotel. Pool towels available. Staff very courteous. Linens and bath towels changed daily. Microwave and fridge/freezer. Target and Costco are close a couple of miles to stock up fridge. Live music in evenings was a very pleasant touch and musicians were great. Shout-out to Sheldon Espina. Cons: Don’t let the pool photo sway you as this is a dated hotel and needs work. Our room had broken louver shades, rusty and dust-covered lamp. Very run-down dirty bathroom. I am a stickler on a clean bathroom and this did not come close. Mirror cabinet very old and swelling/peeling /decrepit on the top. Cabinet under sink dirty and gross. Fixtures and curtain rods old and rusting. I had to wipe down the shelf above toilet fixture before placing our toiletries and extra towels there. Mildewy shower curtain. Bathroom curtains dirty and need to be discarded. Air conditioner loud. Continental breakfast: Juices were sugary drinks. (Actual fruit good, however). One coffee maker out of order for the entire week. No pancake or waffle maker or breakfast meats . Fyi you should rent a car to get back and forth for an extended stay. Uber is costly.

UPDATE 6:30 a.m. 6/21/2024: After calling again, someone was finally sent to our room to spray the kitchen around 11:00 a.m. You would think that would help, BUT, last night, as my daughter was getting a bowl from the cabinet, she was greeted by another cockroach. This time, it was BIG! I opened the other side of the cabinet to be startled by 2 more big ones running around! After spending hours trying to kill them and cleaning roach droppings, I called the front desk and was told again that no one could come until morning since she did not have access to the spray. I mentioned that the person who came in the morning said that he has sticky traps, but that management doesn't like to use them. I told him that we already know that the roaches exist and wanted them. When the maintenance person arrived I showed him the video and even he was shocked by the size. His exact words, ”Oh wow, ma'am. That is big!” I asked if other units are having the same issue and he claimed that we were the only ones. While he was there, he found a few more dead ones under the sink. He placed several traps down and now we are waiting for someone to come spray. Meanwhile, right before I submitted this review, I went to check and two of our roach friends are stuck on the trap still alive and moving. I haven't even checked the others. This is completely unacceptable and there is no offer or option to switch rooms. Instead, I have to spend hours of my vacation trying to kill roaches and sanitize everything. Thankfully we decided not to cook or use the kitchen, but any snacks we have that are open have been shoved into the refrigerator. I mean, has anyone had to refrigerate a bag of Doritos before? The 2 stars originally given is now 1. 6:15 a.m. 6/20/2024: We are currently here at Kauai Beach Villas and the rooms though spacious, could use a little updating. The grounds are nice and the option to use the pool at the Outrigger is great because it makes it feel more like you're staying at a resort. The reason for 2 stars is due to the cleanliness of the room. When we checked in, the kitchen counter still had leftover pieces of rice on it and there were crumbs on the kitchen table. Utensils had leftover food stuck to it, so my advice is to stick everything into the dishwasher before using them. Knives are rusted and the linens were stained. The couch was filthy, stained and it felt gross to sit on it. Additionally, we ate out the first two nights, so we hadn't really spent any time in the kitchen because we're not cooking, but decided to order food for takeout last night and found a COCKROACH run across the kitchen floor! I decided to check all the cabinets and found two more under the sink and a dead fly next to some dishes. I immediately called the front desk because the last thing I wanted was to bring one them home with me. The person who answered the phone was not surprised. She mentioned that the rooms are sprayed once a month, but that she would send someone in the mo

Hotel pulitissimo ed i galli che ti fanno la sveglia sono semplicemente magnifici… e poi nella hall c’è palla di lardo 🐱 che è il micio più bello del mondo

Questa volta che mi sono fermato, non c'era la migliore stanza, questa è la mia quarta volta e l'ultima volta che mi sono fermata nelle camere ristrutturate che erano grandi. Questa ultima volta. Sono rimasto nella vecchia e la stanza era piuttosto odorosa come la lattuga, ma era solo per una notte 

Mi piaceva il mio soggiorno qui! Mi sono affittato una stanza di terra, che si trovava in faccia con l’oceano e non mi è stato deluso. Il risveglio del sole ogni mattina era magnifico! Tutto era vicino, cibo/restaurante erano abbondanti, e c’è un bel lungo cammino lungo l’oceano. Il personale è stato molto utile e amichevole.È difficile valutare il ”servizio” perché ero lì solo per 3 giorni (non puliscono le camere a meno che non si fermi per 5 giorni).

Questo posto è stato fantastico! Abbiamo dovuto prenotare questa posizione all'ultimo minuto ed è di gran lunga il posto più economico in cui soggiornare sull'isola! Super a prezzi ragionevoli e rito sull'oceano e se ottieni un appartamento al piano di sopra ottieni una vista sull'oceano. Abbiamo adorato questo posto, era super spazioso anche per noi, la nostra camera aveva una camera da letto con 2 letti singoli e un soggiorno con angolo cottura completo e un divano-materasso estraibile. Avevamo amici che hanno soggiornato in spiaggia di Poipu e la nostra camera era molto più bella, più grande e circa $1500 in meno. Abbiamo pagato meno di $ 1000 per 7 giorni. Tornerò in questa posizione.

Questo hotel è in mezzo a tutto. Camminare facilmente a ristoranti lungo la spiaggia o shopping nella zona. Attualmente hanno aria condizionata nelle unità. Dopo aver letto le recensioni negative, siamo lieti di dire che ora c'è a/c, abbiamo trovato una bella zona spiaggia per mettere sedie e giocare in acqua. Certo ci sono molti polli e griglie, ma aggiungeno al fascino della zona. Non ci hanno tenuti in piedi perché avevamo un piccolo fan portatile per aiutare con il rumore. Molto tranquillo la sera. Sotto la piscina era freddo, quindi non ci siamo andati.

Buon hotel, personale amichevole.Uno meno pareti molto sottili, vicini sono troppo rumorosi, molto alti

I almost don’t want to write this so I can keep this secret AMAZING hotel in my back pocket. This was our first time in Hawaii and my criteria was to be on the beach in a laid back location. I work in the design industry, so I appreciated the way that the rooms were both laid out and the updated comfortable furnishings. We were in a unit with a beach view on the ground floor. Every morning we would wake up to watch a stunning sunrise and wander slowly on the beach for a stroll with our coffee. We had our teenage daughter with us who had her own closed off area and bathroom. Having 2 bathrooms and a kitchen was incredible. We ended up cooking more than going out due to how expensive all of restaurants are. There were grills located near the pool area that we utilized and laundry services that looked great but we never partook. Having a pool and hot tub was a nice bonus, but we spent most of our time exploring the beaches so we really only dipped in later in the afternoons. The staff was and will be one of my main reasons for returning. They could not have been more accommodating and lovely. Thank you Makanna for jumpstarting our car! Just to begin my accolades of every single person that worked there that we interacted with. Lei was the first person that we met and her calm nature was just so lovely. Shout out to Lehua for driving us to the botanical gardens when our car broke down and for just being such a sweetheart of a person and a wealth of knowledge. We met several of the staff that I can’t recall their names but when I bumped into them in town, it was like seeing an old friend. Thank you to the staff that continuously provided us with clean towels and renewed our tp and paper towels. We met Juliette one afternoon and she was so sweet. Chawaka, Sierra and Dayna, our stay was perfect because of the care that you took. I cannot wait to return, too bad that we love soo far away. Until next time 🤙❤️🤙❤️🤙❤️
