Reviews for Royal Sonesta Kauai
Gorgeous property!
Beautiful property with great dining options. We loved Portofinos! Staff was very attentive with waitresses walking around poolside to take drink and lunch orders. The cove on which property is situated is picturesque. Pricey but well worth it.

The Royal Sonesta Hotel Is Lihue’s Best Hotel
We are 50+ year Marriott Ambassadors. The Royal Sonesta acquired the hotel from Marriott and Marriott still has the adjoining time shares. We are staying in the time shares portion and were concerned that the “Marriott ethic” we are used to might be compromised in the hotel area which controls the food, beverage and pool. We are no longer worried! The Sonesta staff and facilities are still great and the “partnership” is seamless. Aloha!

overpriced for what you get :( if you stay here stick to the basic reviews the upgrades aren’t worth it!
Not a 4 star hotel but any measure but a decent stay. I would recommend paying a little more for a better stay if you want a luxury experience. Pros: nice pool, several hydrotherapy pools, tons of chairs, decent rooms, beach front access, staff seemed friendly Cons: older rooms (including updated rooms like Ocean View rooms), lack of communication about daily hotel activities, room service is expensive and selection is limited, beach towels are incredibly thin (like a paper towel is better quality

True Hawaiian spirit!
Great staff!!!! I visited on a day pass prior to a night flight to Denver and onto Chicago. I inadvertently left my phone in the lobby restroom and realized it within 15 minutes. Went back and nothing. Belinda (guest services), a gentleman at check-in and Devin and his colleagues with Security went above and beyond checking with the cleaners, housekeeping, the Marriott next door and checked all the wastebaskets/bins in the vicinity. Thank goodness someone turned it into the beach bar a few minutes after we checked there. No one knew who it was other than perhaps a local but really want to thank everyone at this hotel for their kindness and willingness to help a non-guest. This was a phone wallet with not only my phone but my ids, credit cards, cash, boarding passes for my return flights and my parking ticket for my car parked at O’Hare.
