Terrible. Elevators were not working Internet was down Television was also not working Air conditioning worked about 75 percent. I inquired at the front desk and was given no resolution other than “yeah none of it is working”.

We’ve been to Kauai many many times. We love it every time. It is much quieter than the other islands and much more relaxing that Maui and Oahu and the Big Island. We especially enjoy the rainier North island and stay close to Princeville and travel often to Hanalei for the picturesque beaches near there. We love the almost daily fruit and vegetable markets and generally stay in condos with complete kitchen facilities. There are lots of fine restaurants but we do enjoy eating in. Fresh fish is always readily available. I’m actually a bit sorry for pointing out all these wonderful things about Kauai. I really want to save it just for us regulars. Oh well. You will love it just like we do.

This is the most awful place I have ever been. This is not a nice place, management is awful. We paid full with Expedia and upon checking they wanted us to pay extra resort fee of $270 even though we showed them in writing that we already have paid. I don't know how the hell the got 9.4 rating in Expedia. The management is awful , they are full of lies. They only have one restaurant, food is not good either. They don't clean your room daily, they clean it every other day. I paid for ocean front room, they gave me a room with pool view very noisy even though I signed in for the quiet room. This a very awful place to stay

We had such a wonderful experience with Mana Manoi Agni! He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful to our family of three during our visit. He really went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of, even taking the time to write down a list of local restaurants and places for us to try. It’s those thoughtful, personal touches that make a trip feel extra special. We truly appreciated his hospitality, local recommendations, and genuine kindness. Thank you for helping make our time here even more memorable. Highly recommend!

Beautiful beach. We rented a cabana for a day and a great time and a place to congregate when not in the ocean or in the BEAUTIFUL pool. . My ten year old grandson spent most of the day in the pool having fun. Easy access. Lovely location. Rooms were lovely and very clean and spacious. We would definitely bring our family back here again. Next time we need to stay at least 10 days. So much to do on Kauai!
