Independent Kalihiwai hotels

"The staff and property are amazing, but the location ended up being the best part. Kauai is beautiful everywhere, but the north shore area around HCR really takes the cake! Great, quiet beaches and a variety of things to do close by (but HCR is also far enough away that you don't feel like you're in a heavy tourism area). The shuttle service makes getting around easy but the staff also has good local knowledge/tips if you want to drive yourself. Don't think we'll stay anywhere else on Kauai now...

"Hotel is right on the beach. Dining is really good, breakfast was exceptional as was the key lime pie. Parking is tight but there's a valet included if it's full, so no problem! Marketplace next door, walkable to a few other restaurants. Delightful mid century decor. One building in mid renovation but the updated rooms are nice, especially the bathrooms. Great stay!"

"One of the best places we've stayed at in our 7 trips together to Hawaii. We always stay in Princeville when in Kauai, but this will be our new go-to place now."

"What a great experience "

"Quaint and away from the hustle of larger hotels. Very clean and wonderful family vibes. Wish we could stay longer. "

"As i had a bad back, i had a downstairs unit. It was easy for me to move about. Loved the chicken's and birds on the grounds. Got help with me luggage. The pull-out couch in the living room was hard to sleep on. Very lumpy. In the folder you suppled for information You should have the phone # for the front desk on the first psge in the booklet. Hard to find. Had a great stay. Will come back again."

"Everything is dated but clean. The worst thing is not the property itself but the traffic. Other than very early in the morning, it is impossible to make a left turn to exit the property. You have to make a right turn, find a place to make a left turn to get on the other side of the road and then head in the desired direction. The staff is friendly and helpful. "

"Wonderful hotel but water pressure in both bathrooms was terrible. View was outstanding! "
