We really didn't think we could afford to go to Hawaii but this lovely hotel was partially responsible for making that happen. It's not the "fanciest" but beautiful in it's own way. The grounds are beautiful and kept perfectly manicured. The hotel room itself (we had ocean front-which I would recommend if you want to wake up to the ocean... More

We had an oceanfront room. My husband emailed in advance asking for a room on the third floor and for a bigger bed than a queen size, both of our requests were accomodated. From our room we could see the humpbacks breach. The rooms are clean and well planned. You can spot a bit of rust etc, this is not... More

Islander is a converted hotel so the rooms are studios which works well for couples. The pool area is clean and has a tiki bar that opens at 11:00 each day with happy hour specials. The location on the east side means the waves are too big to swim but there are ocean views from nearly all rooms. The buildings... More

I chose Islander for its location and price, it was a pleasant surprise to see the grounds beautifully maintained and the unit well appointed with travertine tile and granite. The king bed was very comfy. Although the beach out front of the unit was not the best for swimming the beauty was amazing. This was centrally located for surfing and... More

My husband and I stayed here five nights and we loved it! Great location! It is situated just a bit out of Kapaa, driving distance from hotel to all parts of island about the same. Restaurants are close by. Make sure to try out the Korean BBQ restaurant. The food they serve are authentic! Price is reasonable! Actually we were... More

We paid $135/day (plus an annoying $10/day fee, essentially for a daily.75c newspaper and free DVDs that couldn't be viewed on the small TV) for this elderly property. Too much! The Aston Aloha just up the road looked to be a much better option. It might be value at $100. It started with the luke-warm welcome in the very modest... More

Stayed here at a last minute trip. Check in smooth. Rooms are quite small. Small regrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and sink are nice in the room. Now to the negative. No option of a king bed. Maid service is poor. Coffee cups and glasses left in room uncleaned or not removed, leaving me to believe what else is not cleaned.... More

We stayed at this hotel during our week-long trip to Kauaii during September 2010. We enjoyed the location of the hotel and the condition of the rooms. It was worth the reasonable price we paid. To start, check-in was quick and free of glitches. When we arrived inside our room, we found exactly what had been promised on the travel... More

The staff was not the friendliest.....it depended on who you were dealing with. The rooms are clean and rather small. The beds were VERY comfortable. You have to pay for internet. Parking on certain evenings was a bit of an issue. Good location if you don't mind being in a touristy area. The fabulous parts of Kauai are a short... More
