Hotels with Restaurants in Lihue

We stayed at Outrigger Resort and Spa in Kauai and it was honestly one of the most disappointing resort experiences we’ve had—especially for the price and how it’s advertised. First off, the biggest issue: the “spa” was completely closed for construction. This was never clearly communicated ahead of time, and it’s a major reason people book a resort and spa. If we had known the spa was closed, we would have never booked this property. Marketing it that way while one of the main amenities is unavailable is extremely misleading. The property itself is in serious need of maintenance. Our bathtub was peeling and deteriorating, which is unacceptable in any hotel, let alone something claiming to be a resort. The room had a constant musty smell, and overall felt damp and poorly maintained. Throughout the property there were visible leaks everywhere—buckets, towels, and caution signs set up in hallways, common areas, and even inside the gift shop catching water. That’s not a minor issue, that’s a widespread problem. There are also clear signs of ongoing construction and neglect. Entire areas were shut down with “Danger” and “Construction Zone” signs, and access points were blocked off. At times it felt like we were staying in the middle of a work site, not a relaxing vacation destination. On top of that, there were safety concerns. Wet, slippery floors were common, ceilings showed visible damage with peeling paint, and parts of the building looked like they hadn’t been properly maint

Request a room off the first level, away from the elevators and away from staff areas. We were on the first floor and could hear every door closed, when the staff would go in and out of their areas, etc.

Solid for a Hilton Garden Inn. If you're expecting a resort, you won't find it. But it's great place if you're honest with expectations. Great location for families with beach and playgrounds steps away.
