Hotel in zona Kauai Harley Davidson, Lihue

We went here twice for breakfasts during our stay in Kauai........can't beat the food, service or prices! Both times we were seated immediately even though the restaurant was very busy. My French Toast and Sausage was good (ordered it twice!).....they were out of the sweet bread that was supposed to be the main ingredient, but all was fine with the usual white bread. My spouse tried their pancakes and omelets........both with Spam as his side dish..and he enjoyed both. The servers use carts to set the tables/deliver food/clean tables........VERY quick & efficient! Definitely a very popular spot for locals!!!!!!!

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.

Our family rented 7 different condos for wedding. Each one was different decorated and layout - the Banyon was perfect. Location is excellent - close to airport, ABC Store, etc. Walk to beautiful beach, stroll along the path near Marriott and Dukes - at night tiki lights . Had 2bed/2bath for my husband and 2 adult sons. It was a nice separation. The kitchen had dishwasher, coffee machine, pots, silverware, plates, microwave, refrigerator - we cooked breakfast. Able to see the Disney Wonder from pool area - very nice - pool area has BBQ, showers, bathrooms (didn’t use but were in good condition). Parking can be tight at times, but we always found a parking spot near by condo. Enjoyed the chickens. There are fancier places to stay - but much more expensive with parking and resort fees - for the price - Great stay - I would come back.

This resort is ”just OK” with some good, some bad and some indifferent qualities. We own at the Maui Marriot vacation club and overall the Maui location is definitely much higher quality and in a much better location. The good - rooms are updated, well furnished and comfortable. However, the overall feel of the resort is odd, you get lost a lot, there is no flow to it. The property is shared with another resort, which has a grand check -n lobby. The Marriott has a small dark room off the main courtyard where you check in, which is very odd. The area around the resort has not much to offer, nothing to walk to or enjoy. Pretty much you drive off in a car or that is it. I like a place you can walk to nice amenities, restaurants, shops, etc. Not here. The bay is nice, but its not the wonderful open Pacific of Hawaii. You have to struggle to get a room on a floor with a decent view. The entry hallway to our tower was a utility walkway, not something inviting as a nice resort should be. Oh yeah the parking. I was assured there was plenty of nearby self parking. Well true unless you come back from dinner after say 9 PM, no parking so you need to pay the $30 a day for valet. And they fail to tell you there is an overflow lot you can use. Dining options are scarce and average. Pool area is OK, not terrible, not great. Want coffee and something in the morning to grab? There is one small place, and it closes at 10, with the next place not opening until 11. So if you want anything from 10 to 11, forget it. You need to time when you want your coffee. Overall, just very average to below average for a Hawaiian resort. We will definitely NOT be back. Marriott needs to up its game in this location for sure.

To celebrate our 30th anniversary my wife and I planned a trip to visit Oahu, Kauai and the Big Island during September 2024. After spending a week at the Royal Hawaiian and then Disney’s Aulani resorts we traveled to Kauai and stayed several nights at the Royal Sonesta. Since this was a special occasion I didn’t mind spending a lot to experience the best of what Hawaii has to offer. Unfortunately, I did not find that experience at the Royal Sonesta. The first sign that our time at the Royal Sonesta was going to be far different than the other deluxe resorts was when we arrived at the main entrance. When we arrived another guest was being assisted with their luggage and partially blocked the driveway so we waited behind them. About 4-5 minutes passed and none of the bellmen acknowledged us or attempted to direct us to where we could be assisted with our luggage and valet of the vehicle. When another vehicle arrived behind us one of the bellmen ignored me but waved for the other driver to pull up. After the other vehicle had passed us the bellmen assisted them but neither he nor the other bellmen acknowledged us so I drove up and stopped near the bell service desk. Even though I was right in front of several bellmen who were not assisting other guests none of them welcomed us or offered to assist us with our luggage or valet our vehicle. Unfortunately this left my wife, daughter and I to carry our luggage through a service corridor and down an elevator since luggage is not allowed on the escalator which takes you to the check in desk. The appearance of the resort overall was nice but the design was a bit dated and the common areas were not well cared for. The resort staff were helpful, but not exceptionally friendly or welcoming when not involved in providing a service. If you’re planning a special trip and looking for a special experience and superior service I’d suggest looking to another resort.

Questo è un buon ristorante se si può ottenere un prezzo ragionevole, come abbiamo fatto. Se si prenota direttamente attraverso il ristorante i prezzi sembrano alti per il valore. Uno dei jacuzzi non ha funzionato e l'altro è stato abbastanza pieno durante il nostro soggiorno. La posizione era buona e l'accesso a tutte le aree dell'isola era facile e conveniente. La sala aveva buon servizio, bevande, cibo e intrattenimento notturno, che era un buon plus. Credo che questo resort sarebbe buono per le famiglie. Le camere sono un po' date, ma sembra che si stiano facendo aggiornamenti. Le camere hanno davvero bisogno di una cortina forte sulla porta scorrevole al lanai. Abbiamo trovato le grandi porte di piantagione di legno che si scorrevano vicino a essere turbolenti e timidi. Rimarremmo qui a causa del grande personale e del servizio benvenuto che abbiamo ricevuto.
