Kaua'i Palms Hotel

Kaua'i Palms Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We had the unfortunate timing of being on Kauai during the approach and arrival of hurricane Lowell on Kauai. The staff of this property really made it stand out to us. We were scheduled to go elsewhere during the night the hurricane arrived but one of the staff members (Leidel) suggested we stay another night here due to it location on higher ground and our next property being in an expected storm surge flooding area. Leidel went out of her way to notify us as soon as there was a cancellation that opened a room for us to extend our stay the additional night. Although the storm was very severe, we were safe at this property and had no damage to our rental car. The other property we were going to did have storm surge and fallen limbs that would have destroyed our rental car. Thanks to the concerned staff and their knowledge of how storms affect the island, we were able to remain safe rather than dealing with damage during our visit."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Kawaihau?
The best time to go to Kawaihau is during the shoulder seasons of April to June and September to November, when the weather is pleasant and the island is less crowded.

These periods offer a good balance of sunshine and comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 24°C to 29°C. You'll find it easier to book popular activities and dining reservations without the peak season rush, which is ideal for travellers who appreciate a more relaxed pace and better value.

The summer months of July and August are also popular, especially for families, due to school holidays. However, this is also when the island sees its highest number of visitors, leading to higher prices and more crowded attractions. While the weather is consistently warm and sunny, you might encounter more competition for activities and accommodation.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Kawaihau hotel for you.
