We loved staying at Kauai Shores. The beach and location are quite amazing, even by Kauai standards. The Lava Lava Beach Club is a a wonderful restaurant, right on the beach, with live music. The staff are just fabulous! It's not a fancy hotel, but just a really nice one. We would advise you to try and get a room overlooking the pool and on the second floor... these are the best!

Family friendly

Overall we were happy with our stay. We booked an ocean view room with two queen beds. When we arrived they said they did not have any such rooms available. We were informed that in HI you are only technically booking the type of room (ie ocean view) and not guaranteed the bed type (ie two queen beds). This was new to us. So they gave us an ocean view with one King bed and a roll away for my child. We called the reception each day to see if our requested room had opened up, but it never did. Our ocean view room, was technically ocean view if you go on the patio and look to your right. Our room was the closest one to the onsite restaurant/bar which had nightly live music that was very loud and went on very late. There is one guest laundry room with 3 washers (one broken) and 3 dryers. They need more machines/another laundry room for the amount of guests - it took all night to try to jockey for a spot in the laundry room. Please ventilate the laundry room as it was sweltering inside. Our room did not have a microwave but there was a communal microwave in the laundry room. Kindly consider putting microwaves in your rooms. Room was clean. Beach in front of the hotel was too rough for swimming but beautiful for beachcoming. There is also a walking path that starts right at the hotel. Close to shopping/gas/food. Good value for the location. They offer free daily yoga, had a nice pool and free bike rentals. My child loved the big lawn where he could run around and chase the chickens

We enjoyed our stay, but would recommend that some of the maintenance items in the room be taken care of - i.e. bathroom door needs to close - unable to close as it does not fit door jamb. Need to designate an adult pool since the jacuzzi and pool area in the main area is over-run with screaming kids and parents who let the kids run wild .....maybe a second jacuzzi. Staff are courteous and responsive. Beautiful setting.

I enjoyed my stay at this property; it is well maintained, very clean and safe with wonderful staff. The beachfront Lava Lava restaurant is a must, what a gem (although a pricey one). The room is beautifully and conveniently furnished; I appreciate the many clever storage options. On the downside, it is lively place, with children running around, music being played in the bar, so it is only quiet during the night. The rooms are not specially sound proofed. Also, the rooms feel quit cold and damp during the night, maybe due to proximity to the beach.
