Reviews for Royal Sonesta Kauai

Great resort!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

We loved our time at the Royal Sonesta. We went for our honeymoon and I was worried at first that it wouldn’t be nice enough. I will say the property itself is immaculate and makes up for the rooms being a little more basic (but perfectly acceptable). We actually checked out of the Sonesta to go to the North shore, and then ended up coming back because we missed the pool, hot tubs, beach access, bar/restaurant, and other amenities. We even went to other hotels we considered in preparation for a trip back to Kauai, and safe to say, we made the right booking decision! We will definitely be back!

Yuck, just yuck

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

"Her name was Lola, she was a show girl, but that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show" 30 years ago this place may have been decent, it ain't no more. Dust everywhere, filthy patio doors, musty smelling hallways and rooms, vacant shops. RIdiculous prices for an aging dump. Cocktails seemingly void of alcohol. No water bottle filling stations, even though their documents say they do. We cannot recommend this place. Awful.

This is a great place to stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

We stayed in a room that had a pool and ocean view on the upper floor. It was beautiful. Rooms were great and the staff was kind. I loved the key bracelets, the water bottles and the proximity to the beach. They even have a guest laundry, which we needed. Thank you!

Beautiful resort…big rooms, beautiful pool and nice restaurants. Only complaint is when you pay $400 plus a night I should get my room made up every day…not every other day.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

This was our second time staying at the Royal Sonesta. We returned for a second year because of the great time we had the year before. The rooms are clean and comfortable. All of the staff throughout the hotel are helpful and friendly. The amenities are what makes us want to come back, from the Koi feeding that the kids can participate in to the large pool that can accommodate so many guests without feeling crowded. The view of the beach adds to the overall experience. This year a luau was added to the festivities provided by the hotel and it was a good one. It focused on the history of the area through fire dancing so it was different than most shows and definitely more exciting. We enjoyed the newly remodeled restaurant for breakfast and enjoyed walking to Dukes restaurant for dinner. The hotel is conveniently located especially to the airport. We hope to make this our yearly family vacation.
