Lihue-Koloa Forest Reserve Holidays

We had an incredible time at this hotel. They offer movie nights, complimentary breakfast, and even live music performances. They also provide free rentals like boogie boards, snorkeling gear, and beach chairs. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and the staff is incredibly friendly and hospitable. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in Kauai on a budget. The Mountain View’s right behind are also stunning.

This is a bucket-list hotel that does not disappoint, from the beautiful rooms to the amazing views, the large pools, and access to the beach. If you need a vacation and want a true experience of relaxation, this is the hotel for you.

All of the staff were quite friendly and helpful. We loved the grounds, the location, and the beach - great access to Tunnels, Haena, and Hanalei/Princeville communities. The sunrise view from the premium ocean view rooms was fabulous. When it rained and the wind blew(which it did a lot during our stay the last week of July/first week of August), the balcony was often uncomfortable for sitting outside. Our unit was not as well equipped as would have been useful for a stay as long as ours where we prepared meals onsite. Basic dishes, cooking utensils and pans were provided, as were salt and pepper. We had a 15 day stay and the room was cleaned once during that time. The hot water was the hottest I have ever encountered, which was wonderful for showering after a day in the water! What we haven't figured out was why our welcome email asked what our plans were (we had our wedding on the island and wrapped our honeymoon into the trip) - we shared that information but as far as I can tell, it was for no real purpose. We are not terribly well traveled, so maybe I missed something that others will be aware of.
