Liked that it was close to the beach and bike trail, that the hotel had complimentary bikes available. Would have like to have had a microwave in the room or at least in our building. Had to go to the laundry room in a different building to use the microwave.

My stay at Kauai Shores was everything I needed. The room was clean and looked after every day. The staff was wonderful, polite and free valet service was an additional plus! Steps away from the beach and an additional lagoon area with beautiful landscaping. They also have free daily yoga on the lawn, weather permitting. Location was also ideal, close to the airport and midway between the North and South parts of the island. And steps away from the Coconut Market! Having the Lava Lava Club at this location was convenient and dining with toes in the sand was fun! I even enjoyed watching the chickens! Overall I had a lovely vacation and would definitely book here again.

AC in your face
Cleanliness is fine, it was recently renovated, apparently. The AC blows air right into your face, when you're in bed. It's positioned on the wall to the left of the bed and the wall is 4 feet (1meter) away. If you like that, you'll have an awesome time. Right now I'm reviewing bc I can't sleep, I had to shut it down.

Was given a handicap room for some reason. So shower situation was not good and did not have a closet. Not able to hang up our clothes. I would assume the normal rooms are much better. Other than that, place was very enjoyable. The valet crew was great. Enjoyed speaking with them every day about football.
