Top Wailua Beach Hotel Reviews

Plantation Hale Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great place to stay and just a short walk to the beach. Perfect!"

Kauai Shores Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was a fantastic location to stay on Kauai! Highly recommend it! The only gripe I have was for the towel swap situation. Is this a Hawaii thing? I’m originally from Florida and most of our resorts don’t have this. Maybe people steal towels too often? I’d happily pay an extra 20 bucks for the room to be able to swap towels endlessly without have to wait in a line for the front desk staff who are always helpful but SUPER busy."

H-G-T-V type Renovation, Million Dollar view starting at only $210/night!

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Property was as described. Beautiful view of ocean with great sunrise and sunset skies. Listened to the waves and sat at the beach right next door to the property. Plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby,"

Oceanfront Top Floor Luxury Condo with AC - Wailua Bay View 306

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect base to explore Kauai. The condo is beautifully decorated and very generously equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable beach stay, including beach equipment. Everything is well organized and labeled, with instructions as appropriate. The lanai overlooks Wailau Bay and the beach with the mountains in the distance. The central location in Wailau makes it easy to travel to the south and north of Kauai. Plenty of local shopping and dining options, from food trucks to fine dining. Hosts are very responsive to questions and provided extensive information about Kauai in advance to help plan our stay. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return someday."

Wailua Bay View 108 Oceanfront, Ground floor condo centrally located

10/10 Excellent

Reviewer Comments: The location was great, the unit was modern, updated, clean, very well equipped, we appreciated the beach towels and chairs, the rental property management was very easy to deal with, very attentive and accommodating"

Stunning Oceanfront Kauai Condo for Two! Kauai is in recovery from Lowell!

Oceanfront on Kauai starting at $140/night!

10/10 Excellent

"Location, view and price were very good for this property. It was just 10-12 minutes to the airport.During the aftermath of Hurricane Lowell, the owner graciously allowed us to remain in the unit past our normal check out time when the airline unexpectedly cancelled/rebooked our flight. In addition, he did not charge us anything for the extra time we were in the unit."

Just finished complete renovation in March, 2025

8/10 Good

"Nice sized condo for 2 people. Very nice renovation. The view was great. The bed was comfortable. Good sized closet in bedroom. Condo was close by to restaurants, grocery store, brewery and shopping. The host sent efficient instructions on how to get there and the check in process. We only have one complaint, there was only 1 washcloth to use for 2 people for 4 days. Otherwise we absolutely loved it and would stay there again."

KAUAI IS OPEN! AMAZING DIRECT OCEANFRONT CONDO STUNNING VIEWS, GREAT LOCATION!

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time in Kauai and it was nothing short of amazing! Scott and Regina were the best hosts, communicated quickly, and had lots of great suggestions. The condo itself was clean and had a beautiful view, and the location for exploring the entire island was ideal. The condo was also close to many walkable restaurants and stores. Our stay was as close to perfect as possible and it will be an easy choice to stay here again when we get back to this little piece of paradise."
