Great location with an Hawaiian feel. Connected to the Lava Lava Club which was convenient. Also right next to the Coconut Market place. Parking was kind of a pain as spots were small and it was hard to park straight. Staff were friendly and the grounds were kept clean.

Stayed at the Lei building and it was pretty much beach front. The sand is right at your footsteps. Also the valet and the hotel staff were very kind and helped us get everything we needed. We will definitely make a return to here, it accommodated a lot of traveling time too.

Kauai Shires is a gem! We absolutely loved the place. We stayed eight nights in a pool view room. The property is gorgeous, the location convenient to all parts of the island, restaurant is good, staff is good - awesome stay. We would definitely stay here again. I would say that the value of this place is amazing in comparison to what you would pay at the big name resorts. Best deal/ location/ place we’ve stayed on Kauai!!
