Oct 5, 2026We thought the hotel was nice. A little old, but clean, and the staff was wonderful. The location in downtown Lihue was great. Short drive to everywhere! Lots of food options in walking distance.

Jul 28, 2026The staff was great and early checkin made it a major plus. We stayed on 2 separate occasions and it was well worth it. We will definitely reserve rooms there next year!

Aug 30, 2026Loved our cottage.
Reviews were correct that the bathrooms are small, so if a spacious suite is what you want, go elsewhere and pay for it. We loved our stay.
Clean, friendly staff and perfect for a place we used for sleeping, eating a few meals and getting ready for adventures. Nice kitchen, comfortable beds and not a bug to be seen during our three days.

Sep 20, 2026We returned to the Kauai palms for a second stay during our Kauai visit due to cancellation from storm damage at another property we had planned. The Kauai palms staff had already returned this property to a condition where you couldn’t tell a hurricane had just taken place. On top of that, one of the staff members (Leidel) who had helped us earlier in the week recognized us by name and welcomed us back to the property. That’s a rare thing in today’s busy large corporate business environment. The smaller, more personal vibe we got from this property and staff will definitely bring us back during our next visit to Kauai.

Aug 30, 2026Stayed here overnight when arriving to the island late before driving to a resort in the morning. It’s an older property but this was super convenient for a quick overnight. So close to the airport we were there before I realized it. They left me a message with the lockbox code to pick up my key as we arrived after their normal office hours. Everything was seamless and easy.

Aug 1, 2026The staff was kind and helpful and the outside of the hotel was well maintained. Our room was just okay though and the bathroom was covered in long black hair when we arrived. We left quite early in the morning and washed all our clothes as soon as possible

May 21, 2026Wonderful small hotel with a beautiful garden and very attentive staff. Loved that they had tables outside of the rooms. Good location in Lihue - central location on the island

Oct 19, 2026We had the unfortunate timing of being on Kauai during the approach and arrival of hurricane Lowell on Kauai. The staff of this property really made it stand out to us. We were scheduled to go elsewhere during the night the hurricane arrived but one of the staff members (Leidel) suggested we stay another night here due to it location on higher ground and our next property being in an expected storm surge flooding area. Leidel went out of her way to notify us as soon as there was a cancellation that opened a room for us to extend our stay the additional night. Although the storm was very severe, we were safe at this property and had no damage to our rental car. The other property we were going to did have storm surge and fallen limbs that would have destroyed our rental car. Thanks to the concerned staff and their knowledge of how storms affect the island, we were able to remain safe rather than dealing with damage during our visit.
