Genuinely cannot say enough good things, looking at everything holistically I can’t recommend enough. The pool area is amazing and this is one of few resorts I’ve been too with enough pool chairs! The beach is amazing and clean and again plenty of seating. All of the food was really good for being poolside and the drinks were also wonderful. Every staff interaction was top knotch especially when we were checking in. The property is very centrally located so short ride from airport but no airport noise or traffic at the actual property. Plenty of walkable coffee shops and stores. The rooms service is every other day but for us this did not bother us a bit and if we needed anything no doubt could have asked for it. Perfect for couples or families as the property is big enough and nice enough for either.

The property was clean and the staff was awesome., I feel that there should be closer parking for some of the rooms. Also more smoking areas would be nice for the people smoking. When I drink, expensive drinks I want to be able to smoke. I don’t want to have to walk 200 feet to a smoking area. When walking that far between drinks I tend to drink less. The party I was with all agreed. Nine people and we all went to our rooms early. Not as much fun, but we probably spent about $500-$600 less as a party drinking. May benefit you guys to think about that. Most resorts have the smoking area around the fire pits for the convenience of the patron!

I come to Kauai often and each time I stay at The Royal Sonesta. Each and every visit I consistently receive excellent service from every employee. The room is always beautiful, clean and well stocked. If I need anything, the staff is always prompt even if when my request is not urgent. I could go on and on about every positive but there is a character limit. : ) The only “negative” is the fact that I have to go home. From the beautiful island of Kauai to the great Royal Sonesta, it is honestly difficult to leave. That’s why my visits have been closer & more frequent.

The property is beautiful - many manicured gardens with ponds and fountains. The pool area was large with plenty of chairs to relax, where you could also order food. There was a large beach area with volleyball nets as well as a separate pool for kids that had a slide. We took advantage of all of the dining options. There is another restaurant just up the hill, Hualani's, that was outstanding. Our last night, we enjoyed some delicious sushi and saki, probably one of our favorite dining experiences. When we first arrived, we found food that had been left in our mini fridge by a previous guest. It wasn't the best first impression, but the front desk sent someone up right away to take care of it. And the rest of our stay, there were no other issues. Overall, we loved the property and the island of Kauai.
