Kauai Shores Hotel

Kauai Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Kauai Shores hotel was wonderful! Beautiful property on the ocean. All staff were courteous and helpful. Restaurant had delicious food and had live music every evening. Rooms were very clean and updated. The only thing that would have made our stay perfect was being able to swim safely in the ocean. The waves on the hotel beach were large and strong. Not ideal situation for older people and young children."
