Hilton Kauai Beach Resort

Not what I expected

Overall not a bad place to stay in Kauai, The hotel is clean , the staff is friendly, the grounds are OK. A big surprise they charge 13.00 a day to park your car.. No entertainment and nothing to do at night.And it's by itself so I went in Lihue at night and that also is quiet. Returning to this resort about 8 PM the guest parking is filled up but you can still find some place to park at the far edges of the lot.It seems all the hotel guests are in for the night. It's good for older guests but not for younger ones.Poupi Beach Area is a better location to stay.

Hotel Restaurants

Sit down restaurant wait was too long (45 minutes) so we went to the bar Shutters for appetizers instead. Found our own table which needed to be bussed. Finally had a waitress help us. Much too long to wait for service. Food was good though when we were finally waited on.

Dump

This hotel was gross. Rooms smelled, looks like a motor lodge, rude staff, awful location near airport. Not worth the extra money for the "beachfront", could barely see ocean from room. They make you sign something that makes you pay $50 for an early departure, because they know that once you see the room you will want to leave. We sucked it up and paid the $50, plus the additional $15 for "taxes", to get out of having to stay there. We left right away and went to another hotel. Paris Hilton would never sleep here!!

Terrible Experience, Checked Out Early

This hotel is nothing short of a cheap looking motor lodge. The room smelled, there where bugs in the bathroom, and be very wary about the fact that when you check in, they make you sign something that states you have to pay them $50 bucks for an early departure. Additionally, we paid extra for ocean front - and could barely see the ocean at all from our room. If you are young, this is the place for you either, the average age of the hotel patron was 55+. Lastly, location is bad - and right near the airport on the worst part of the island, unless of course you like McDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken. I guarantee you Paris would never rest her head there. You are much better staying somewhere along the north of the island.

Outstanding Hotel

The people we very accommodating and the hotel was wonderful.

Nice Experience

The hotel is close to Lihue, so it's very convenient for trips into town. Yet, it has an "out in the country" feel so it is very relaxing. The musical "South Pacific" dinner and show which plays at the hotel is a must if you stay here. The beach is somewhat small and a bit rocky here so it's not ideal if you want to spend a lot of time in the surf.

A Great Place to Stay!

The hotel was clean and comfprtable. The grounds were absolutely georgeous. I was very impressed with the comfort of the pool areas. The breakfast buffet was spectacular, and staff was very friendly.

"Upgrades"

The staff "upgraded" our room, but then we only had one bed instead of two and they refused to change it back saying they didn't have any more rooms with two beds. Also, the key cards didn't work and they told me it was my fault because I put it in my purse near my cell phone...

Great Room - Bad View

The lanai we had, had bird nest remains on it and was never cleaned off. The view from the lanai was the roof of the conference rooms. I did not expect an ocean view or mountain view but I really did not expect a view of a roof.
