Scuba Diving & Resorts in Kauai

"The Royal Sonesta Kaua’i Resort Lihue stands out as one of the most relaxing and beautifully maintained resorts on the island. From the moment you arrive, the staff set the tone with genuine Hawaiian hospitality—warm welcomes, easy check-in, and a true sense of care throughout your stay. The property itself is stunning, set right along Kalapaki Bay with lush gardens, open-air spaces, and the largest single-level pool on Kauai. The rooms are spacious, immaculate, and tastefully designed with island-inspired decor. Many have ocean or garden views that make mornings here unforgettable. Dining options are excellent, particularly for breakfast and sunset dinners. Duke’s Kauai, right on the property, is consistently fantastic, offering fresh local seafood and a relaxed beachside vibe. If you’re not dining, lounging by the massive pool or strolling the bay at sunset easily ranks as a highlight. Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. You’re minutes from the Lihue Airport, making arrivals and departures effortless, yet it still feels worlds away from the bustle. Whether you’re spending a few nights before exploring the island or staying for a full week of rejuvenation, the Royal Sonesta balances resort luxury with local charm perfectly. Highly recommended for couples, families, or anyone seeking a classic Kauai experience with top-tier comfort and friendly service. I’ll definitely be returning."

"Excellent location, perfect views, great swimming pools and poolside service. The mahi mahi tacos at Lavas were fabulous. Housekeeping staff are excellent and attentive. This property is aging well, not as fancy as the Grand Hyatt, so it’s more affordable and less pretentious. "
