"The Royal Sonesta Kaua’i Resort Lihue stands out as one of the most relaxing and beautifully maintained resorts on the island. From the moment you arrive, the staff set the tone with genuine Hawaiian hospitality—warm welcomes, easy check-in, and a true sense of care throughout your stay. The property itself is stunning, set right along Kalapaki Bay with lush gardens, open-air spaces, and the largest single-level pool on Kauai. The rooms are spacious, immaculate, and tastefully designed with island-inspired decor. Many have ocean or garden views that make mornings here unforgettable. Dining options are excellent, particularly for breakfast and sunset dinners. Duke’s Kauai, right on the property, is consistently fantastic, offering fresh local seafood and a relaxed beachside vibe. If you’re not dining, lounging by the massive pool or strolling the bay at sunset easily ranks as a highlight. Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. You’re minutes from the Lihue Airport, making arrivals and departures effortless, yet it still feels worlds away from the bustle. Whether you’re spending a few nights before exploring the island or staying for a full week of rejuvenation, the Royal Sonesta balances resort luxury with local charm perfectly. Highly recommended for couples, families, or anyone seeking a classic Kauai experience with top-tier comfort and friendly service. I’ll definitely be returning."

"The view is great"

"We had an amazing time!!"

"Nice clean room. Friendly staff. Will stay again"

"Fantastic hotel: location, amenities, service, food, room qualities, views...Pricey, with all the usual ancillary charges (the famous "resort fee"), but overall well worth it given the (mid-tier) quality of other north shore hotels. The design of the property alone, with its vistas of Hanalei Bay around every corner, plus the beautifully appointed rooms and great staff, makes it all worthwhile. Our only minor quibble is the service can be slow at times, especially at their main restaurant and bar, and with their bell (luggage) services. This might have been that they were understaffed given the slightly off-season time we were there, but at these luxury price points slow service, for whatever reason, should not be tolerated. To pay north of $1K per night I expect my food to arrive within a reasonable amount of time (say, within 20m). After all, while the food is very good it is not Michelin-starred (so why the long wait times...?) In the grand scheme of our stay this was minor and we would definitely return."
