My boyfriend and I visited Kauai in June and we stayed at the Royal Sonesta Resort in Lihue. This resort offers the biggest pool there is on the island and we enjoyed it to the fullest, including the hidden but public hot tubs around the pool. In my opinion these hot tubs were the best part. Easy access to the beach and restaurants, and it has many amenities. We enjoyed our stay at this resort and I recommend it for a fun summer stay with good vibes and weather.

Clean and Relaxing

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Royal Sonesta Kauai. It's connected to a Marriott resort, so there are a lot of restaurants and different spaces in which to relax. Our room was updated and clean, though they only provide in-room services every two days. As a vegetarian, there were limited options and our best meals were off the resort. We traveled all over the coastline to many beaches and I'm glad we did. The beach at the resort is fine, but there are a lot better ones elsewhere. The pool is pretty empty early in the mornings and then later in the evenings and I swam laps and relaxed during those times.

Beautiful hotel with lots of gorgeous landscaping, including a koi pond, and artwork to enjoy while walking along the hallways or pausing to rest at one of the many comfy outdoor seating areas. The large pool was awesome. There were 5 hot tubs, so you didn’t have to wait too long before one became available if you just wanted to hang out in one with your own group. We were in a pool-view room, but there was also a view of the ocean off to our left that only got better if you went out onto the balcony. The nearby beach was also beautiful and relatively calm due to it being a bit more protected by what seems to be a natural harbor. We appreciated the nearby dining options on days when we didn’t want to hunt around for something in town or just got cleaned up from a day hike and didn’t feel like going out in the car again. Sometimes the front desk seemed like it could have been better staffed (especially if you were there after pool house hours and needed to get pool towels) but staff was always courteous and apologized for the wait if there was one. I would definitely consider staying at the Royal Sonesta again.
