Banyan Harbor Resort
"Overall is good."

"Good place"
Kauai Inn
"For a family of 5 there are few places that offer single room options so we were fortunate to find the Kauai Inn. The room wasn't fancy but it was clean and there were lots of amenities we enjoyed like the fresh fruit and pastries at breakfast each morning (the manager would even come around and offer a flower to the ladies for their hair), 24hr ice, water and coffee, Mon and Wed night live music, free beach towel/snorkel/wakeboard rental, Sat movie night and super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our only negative was the first night we arrived late via uber from the airport and were not able to walk anywhere to get food, we ordered a pizza and then had it cancelled by Pizza Hut an hour later because they didn't have drivers and couldn't get a doordash driver to deliver it -- no dinner for us that night. So it was a very convenient location once we got a rental car but unsafe to walk the roads at night into town due to lack of visibility and being somewhat isolated. We did walk to the beach and nearby shops just over a mile away during the day. I would highly recommend the Kauai Inn."
Kaua'i Palms Hotel
"Staff was friendly and willing to answer all of our questions. Helpful guiding us around town and the island."
THE ISO HOTEL, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
"Roberta and Mariah were both amazing at the front desk. I had an issue with Expedia because I booked and paid for a Premium Oceanfront Room but upon check in I learned that this was not the room reserved for us. We were supposed to be in 318 which was going to be more basic and after arguing with Expedia for over an hour we ended up in 324 which was essentially the same. All of the ISO rooms looked exactly the same, with the exception of the large suite they use as the cover photo. The views are incredible and every room has a balcony or outdoor space. If I were going again, I wouldn’t bother paying for the premium room as all of them were the same with very similar beautiful views. The room was pretty simple but well maintained. The location of the hotel was perfect, felt like it was a good middle ground for everywhere we wanted to visit. Only bummer is the steakhouse was closed due to issues with the building. Roberta at the front desk made our stay incredible. She was so helpful and kind. She gave us tips and recommendations and even let us borrow beach supplies such as chairs, snorkel gear etc. She could not have been more welcoming. I would absolutely recommend the ISO and would come back myself as well."
Hotel Coral Reef
"Super friendly staff with extra items available to enhance your stay. Large room with beautiful ocean views."
