Rooms were large and well maintained. Pool area was excellent although wish there had been a little more shade available. Restaurants great. Beach is in a cove but so nice with some great waves for jumping through. Lots of shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Would recommend a car if planning to explore the island.

I spent 4 days here with my daughter and we loved it. Everything from the room view of the pool and ocean, beach access, and dining options. Food was great. The shop in the hotel was very convenient, though a little pricey. One day I bought a bottle of wine from them and enjoyed it in the night from the balcony. Swimming in the pool at night, with all the lights and the fire around was memorable.

My boyfriend and I visited Kauai in June and we stayed at the Royal Sonesta Resort in Lihue. This resort offers the biggest pool there is on the island and we enjoyed it to the fullest, including the hidden but public hot tubs around the pool. In my opinion these hot tubs were the best part. Easy access to the beach and restaurants, and it has many amenities. We enjoyed our stay at this resort and I recommend it for a fun summer stay with good vibes and weather.

Clean and Relaxing

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Royal Sonesta Kauai. It's connected to a Marriott resort, so there are a lot of restaurants and different spaces in which to relax. Our room was updated and clean, though they only provide in-room services every two days. As a vegetarian, there were limited options and our best meals were off the resort. We traveled all over the coastline to many beaches and I'm glad we did. The beach at the resort is fine, but there are a lot better ones elsewhere. The pool is pretty empty early in the mornings and then later in the evenings and I swam laps and relaxed during those times.

Beautiful property on beach. Great for families. Room had sticky stuff on bathroom counter and the coffee maker was filthy where you pour water. Did not use it. Other than all staff was super nice except for check on. She may have had a bad day. Great location.

Amazing! Workers are kind the pool is insanely nice. The beach is great. Literally a resort out of a movie screen. Partial ocean views from majority of the rooms too. Close to airport and located centrally on island!
