Kauai Palms Hotel

This was delightful, retro, clean, comfortable, restful, unique place to stay. Rini was supercharged and helpful, she was a delight. We really didn't had a pleasant visit with her. We will come again and highly recommend this place to others!

I was attracted to book at this hotel when I first saw it and I am so glad I did. From the great customer service by the young ladies at the desk, to leaving my key in a lockbox for my late arrival, to the hot Kauai coffee in the lobby every morning, to the Hawaiian history lesson and mini- museum offered by Ron the general manager, I felt so at home in this small unique hotel in Lihue..After a long flight to Kauai from the east coast, I was pleasantly surprised to be in my room within 10 minutes of picking up my rental car. The property is immaculate, a wonderful breeze flows thru the walkways in the evenings, and lovely Hawaiian music is played softly on the corridor speakers. Work is constantly being done on the upkeep of the property as evidenced by fresh nursery plantings, repairs on pipes etc none of which hinders the ingress and egress of guests. It seems like many guests have stayed at the Kauai Palms before since Ron greets so many guests by their name..if you like a personalized homey feel rather than a big luxe resort, I highly recommend this hotel ..it is centrally located and going in either direction on the island is doable for day trips with the exception of Princeville which is pretty far to the north..I hope to return to Kauai Palms on my next trip to Hawaii! Thank you Ron & staff!

Got the room for a couple nites when we arrived to get oriented before we started camping. Picked it because it was cheap, but when we walked in were amazed by a Hawaiian cultural display of artifacts real and simulated . Then next morning the owner Ron gave us a three hour Talk Story of the history of the Hawaiian migrations to the Islands, along with photos and artifacts. Too cool! At least as fun as the actual museum down the street. Now the room was small, as we expected, but totally adequate with modern amenities ,fridge, shower, flatscreen, wi-if. The only minus was the small room made the air conditioner close to you and a little loud. No problem for us, but something to consider, I don’t know about the other rooms. But for the price we loved it!

Nice, clean, comfortable and quiet, with excellent customer service oriented employees. Our rooms offered a kitchenette with sink, fridge and microwave, coffee pot (also free coffee available by hotel office). What more can you ask for? Ask for the manager, Ron, to tell you a historical and cultural story about Kaua’i, complete with artifacts and photos. Included in the price at no additional cost! Made for a great foundation as we were staying the first couple days there before heading to the North side of the island for the next week. We like to learn and absorb the culture along with having fun in the sea and sun. Thank you, Ron, and to the hardworking hotel staff who made our stay so memorable. Such a pleasure!

I would totally recommend this place to stay, it’s affordable, clean and decent. There are few good restaurants around walking distance with vegetarian options. Most of all, if you want deeper experience of Hawaii culture and if you’re interested in learning about the rich history of the island, go there and ask for Ron. He has a vast knowledge and he shares that passionately with visitors. He has exhibits and picture album. We spent abt 2 hours with him, totally worth it. Kids enjoyed his stories as well, we felt more connected with Hawaii after that short history class.

Love the feel of this little hotel. Plus none of the exorbitant resort fees. Super clean. We had a room with no AC which was just fine. Loved the garden area and balcony overlooking it - plus chairs available to sit outside. Appreciated morning coffee. Handy to the airport which was so valuable with our late night arrival. It has an incredible mini-museum display of artifacts and replicas. You need to stay here in order to hear Ron's fascinating talk on the artifacts and island history . Thank you so much for that Ron. It was one of the highlights of our trip.
