Book a Hotel near Kapaa Shopping Center, Kapaa

Pros-The staff was amazing and so accommodating, very knowledgeable, and friendly always! The property itself is simply beautiful, with the beach only steps away, a little "village" of shops and restaurants right on property, a friendly and welcoming Tiki Bar next to the pool, and conveniently located right behind the Coconut Marketplace, where there are lots more shops, eateries, a Farmer's Market, and live Polynesian shows twice weekly. One could have a great time without ever leaving the immediate area for several days! The sunrises every morning were spectacular! I was there for over 2 weeks and the beach was NEVER crowded, always quiet and very sparsely populated no matter what time of day it was! Cons- The furnishings in the room were a bit dated and could use a little sprucing up. Internet is sometimes not reliable, but that, it appears, is an issue island wide. The biggest issue was the availability of parking. The parking lot at the Islander is simply too small to accomodate all the guest vehicles and several times I needed to park in "overflow" areas and walk back to my room. Also, there are no elevators or staff to help with luggage if needed. I was originally booked in a 3rd floor room (which would have provided a better view of the ocean) but had to switch at check-in when I was informed there were no elevators or help with bags. I would definitely stay here again when traveling to Kauai!

on the beach with restaurant on the beach. open air setting

The location was close to the ocean. The tropical atmosphere was very nice. Rooms were large and had air conditioning which was well used during the heat wave during our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful

Property grounds was very appealing, quiet and relaxing. Easy access to beach. Views from room were great. Complimentary breakfast and free parking! Close to grocery store and restaurants. Friendly emails.

Overall excellent. Bed was squeaky and uncomfortable.

Beautiful rooms and the employees were very friendly. So pleased with this hotel - will definitely stay again!
