Castle Kiahuna Plantation & Beach Bungalows

Great week in Kauai

My new wife and I spent part of our honeymoon at the Kiahuna Plantation and we could not have been happier with the accomodations. We had the place recommended to us by a friend, so we had high expectations. When we checked in to our 1 Bd/Ba room, we were surprised. Hardwood floors, newly remodeled kitchen, walk-in shower. The place looked great. Very comfortable, very clean, and very nice room. We had an ocean view that was 20-30 yards from the beach. Not sure why anyone would downplay this location, we wish we had spent more time here than we did in Maui.

Great place if you get the right room

The overall facility is great - beautiful, with a limited number of rooms on or near the beach. We happened to get one of the worst rooms - had to walk 10 minutes to get to the beach. So it's a good idea to look at the layout before choosing your rooms. Our "garden room" room was terrible, but others of the same type and price would be a lot closer.

Back to Basics

My husband and I stayed in one of the condos for a few days of our honeymoon. We were surprised to find out that there are no windows...just screens covered by shutters. We could hear the birds but we could also hear the screaming baby in the condo next to us. We loved having the kitchen and the owners stocked the closet with nice beach extras. The beach was decent. The resort does not have lounge chairs for the beach...you only get straight chairs and you have to rent the umbrella. The grounds were impeccable and the views of the ocean were spectacular.

Good location, nice beach. Rooms show some wear and tear.

We stayed in the tower for 3 nights. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff was pleasant and accomodating. The beach was nice and the location was convenient. A minor complaint is that the carpeting in the room was stained and kind of old looking.

Great Hotel

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon, and couldn't have asked for a more welcoming room. Make sure to try the Plantation Gardens restaurant!

Better than the larger hotels

When comparing next to the neighboring Sheraton, this hotel offers a larger room, kitchen, and just more intimate atmoshphere because they are individual condos. The only thing I didn't like was the location of the pool - across the main road. We had to drive to it everyday.

Perfect for the money

We had a great time! The Plantation upgraded us to a better room with a partial ocean view at an unbelievable rate! Only drawback- no air conditioning so the rain and roosters were a little noisy in the early morning. We'd recommend it to anyone!

good room for the money

comfortable rooms and great location. needed help with our luggage, but none was offered, so we struggled, and survived.

Wonderful Accomodations

When we arrived I asked if there were any upgrades available and we were shown two different rooms to choose from. We ended up with a fully stocked one bedroom condo with an ocean view. Our stay was heavenly, we were sad to leave.

Great Location

We received an upgrade from Garden View to Deluxe Garden View whether that really made a difference or not, I don't know, but the condo that we had was fully equipped by the owner and everything was in good condition, even the pull-out sofa wasn't bad. I thought the location to the beach access and shopping was great. I had read a few bad reviews and was very leery, I'm know as Mrs. Clean and it meant my standards.
