The Royal Sonesta is a beautiful hotel. The grounds are beautifully landscaped The pool is huge. There are plenty of loungers and umbrellas. You can choose beach, poolside or both. The atmosphere is relaxing. We were in Kauai for the day on a cruise ship. We purchased a day pass and it was a wonderful experience. Would go there again!

What a strange place. Giant dated white building set on a beach next to a port. It should be torn down and replaced with a nice resort and the port area cleaned up to be more attractive.

Our stay started badly and has not improved. The resort property is pretentious, oversized, overblown and difficult to navigate. The registration desk is invisible from the drive up entry, and staff are mostly indifferent. We arrived before our room was ready and instead of directing us to a place to rest and/ or providing a schedule of resort activities, they just cut us loose, saying they would call or text us when the room was ready. They didn't. Four hours later, after getting trapped in Lihue traffic and getting overpriced takeout from a Lihue deli, we still had not heard from them and had to return to inquire. The room (nearly $1,000/night) is in a remote tower requiring us to wind around the facility on foot with no guidance from staff. Yes, the pool is nice but the overall facility feels fake and pretentious, with design features having little to do with Kauai or Hawaii, and amenities including lounge musicians playing retreads of Neil Diamond. We will not be back. We feel greatly misled by your rating of this resort as a "real gem" (which we relied on when booking) and suggest you revisit and re-evaluate. Thanks.

Pictures online don’t do this place justice. Beautiful setting. Rooms looked recently renovated. Prperty extremely well kept. Helpful staff. On site restauarants good and short walk away (less than 1/8th of mile) many other restaurants. Great golf course. Free shuttle to/from airport which is 5 min. away. Kauai much more laid back than other Hi. islands and residents very friendly. Went to Beach House for our big dinner. Spectacular view/setting.
