Great location. Great and helpful staff. Food was surprisingly good and not outrageously expensive compared to local fare for what you get. Luau experience was terrific as well. And of course the resort pool was phenomenal.

It is stunning everywhere you look. Our room was a recently renovated third-floor room, number 3095, which is ground floor to the resort grounds.

It is stunning everywhere you look. Our room was a recently renovated third-floor room, number 3095, which is ground floor to the resort grounds. It was so convenient to go anywhere on the property, lobby, club, pools, and beach!!! I love, love, loved walking the resort in the mornings! Loved the swing by the beach for stargazing and listening to the ocean waves in the evenings! I cannot see how anyone can say it's dated or dirty, even in the hallways; it's so well cared for. It's so clean everywhere. The staff were all kind. The food and ambiance at Tidepools were 12/10. The sea view terrace was so beautiful for morning coffee views. Stevensons' library for sushi was very upscale and sophisticated. Expensive, and I'd probably keep that in mind going in. Glad we did! I'm a big sushi fan! It's family-friendly while having so much space and opportunity for romantic, intimate locations and experiences! Just a perfect place. I would NOT stay anywhere else! If you are thinking about this property, it's a dream come true in Kauai. Club : Hours'dvoures were great! I loved the options of salad, miso soup, and various warm appetizers. Breakfast fruits were plentiful and fresh. Desserts were varied and pretty, and most were good. I liked the club a lot. With kids, you'll still need meals if you're health-conscious. For adults, I think you could do just dinner to feel special, but even that you wouldn't need with the salad, miso soup, and chicken skewers they had at dinner time. Read less

This is a four star facility on a five star property with three star service. The concierge desk often doesn't answer the phone and, while you can leave a message, does not always call back.

This is a four star facility on a five star property with three star service. The concierge desk often doesn't answer the phone and, while you can leave a message, does not always call back. We used the spa for a couples massage. Both of us viewed the massages as mediocre despite an over $900 price tag (solely for the massages). I woke up that night with a knot under my right shoulder, which didn't completely subside for over a week. The knot was unusual and almost certainly resulted from the massage that day. When I attempted to get relief through, perhaps, someone who could help with such a specific request, my request was ignored. Additionally, I responded to a standard survey request from the hotel after we departed. An employee named Paige Aguano reached out to get additional information/input. I indicated I would get back with her once we returned home from the trip. I did get back with Paige soon after we returned home. I did not hear back from her,or anyone else representing the hotel.
