The Royal Sonesta was a great property. It is very clean with helpful staff and friendly employees. The only complaint was the parking, it was very far from the rooms and you had to share the resort parking with people going to the beach.

I loved my stay here. Beautiful property, there was food options within walking distance of the resort as well as close by with driving in Lihue. The parking options were good. All the staff was very polite and helpful. I got room service a few times and it was great. I loved my virw. It had a safe and mini fridge. Only thing i didnt like was there was no microwave so i couldnt reheat any leftovers.
