Great stay on Kauai!
Loved this hotel, right on the beach. It was amazing to be able to wake up and walk into the ocean within 5 minutes. The attached Lava Lava Beach Club restaurant was really nice too.

Nice spot
Nicely updated room. Great location. Walkable to shopping and food at Coconut Mall next door. Only issue is parking. Not enough and they do have free valet but can be a hassle if they’re busy.
