This is just one room with two beds. It was not clean and there was a note if you wanted it cleaned it was another $30 each time (I had elan extended stay booked) Then there was the “view”. It was non existent, as it overlooks a rooftop and the entrance driveway! Not recommended at all. The landlord is impossible to reach. I left after one night, after a panic attack only to not be refunded. She changed the bill to equal a ten day stay, so there was no recourse to take, the new bill was a total of a 10 day stay marked paid. Don’t do it! Don’t book this room!

We booked this hotel thru VRBO and owner thru Gokula Vani. She quoted us for $514 for 3 nights. She later charged us for $562 saying that it was a different room. We checked out on the third day and the resort had said that we're good to go. We found out later that she charged us another $62 for resort fees. We'll never book through VRBO again nor through Gokula Vani!!! She's a liar!

I always like to review honestly and fairly... I wanted to write this review because my husband and I were looking to book this for a 10 night stay. I found the hotel on VRBO. The listing was posted for $129 per night as this is "off season" for Hawaii. I looked at the beautiful pictures and decided to move forward with the reservation... I submitted all of my info as well as my payment waiting for owner confirmation. A few minutes later I received an email from the owner saying she received my request and adjusted the price. Upon review she had upped the price almost $700. With NO explanation. It almost feels like being taken advantage of for a last minute booking. After reading the reviews listed on TripAdvisor I'm Sooooo glad we didn't reserve this hotel. Make sure you do your research and know that you have options!!

It is the guest responsibility to review the additional fees, before they book. All of them are clearly listed on VRBO. We have no intentions of misleading you or any other guest, and we never have. We have always maintained more than a 4.5 star rating since the year 2009, with many actual guest who have stayed and left nothing but the best and good reviews for us on VRBO. It is not our mistake that you are not reading the fees section, when booking a room. Many properties have additional fees, like parking, cleaning and resort fees.... Everything is listed clearly on vrbo, without any intentions to mislead guests.

Just an FYI for those of you that decide to book with Gaia Gives Resorts, Please be very careful of what you are promised and what you actually get. My husband and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and decided to do so in Beautiful Hawaii. I spoke to a lady named Gokula Vani with GGR and she was delighted to help me make my arrangements. She told me that because of our celebration that she would let us have the ocean front honeymoon suite for the price of a regular room of $136 per night. I was so excited!! when we arrived at the Kauai Beach Resort it was lovely. Our room however was not as promised. We had an ocean side view and no where near a honeymoon suite. Gokula failed to let me know that their would be a cleaning charge everyday of $15 for towel change or $30 for full service. I called Gokula up and she agreed to come to the room to see it for herself and acted very surprised that the room was not the one promised. She told us that the owner of the room had misinformed her of the difference. I felt bad and just excused it as she was very apologetic and offered us a refund of $150 and some snacks for our trouble. Upon checking out we spoke with the front desk attendant about what happened. Boy were we surprised to find out that Gokula was the owner and that she had charged us $285 per night!! I will never book with GGR again as my husband and I were lied to. Shame on you Gokula Vani!!!

Dear Guest, I provided all the information, over the phone for your booking and even helped find airfare for your travel. The additional information that was provided by the front desk attendant is not accurate and you did not stay in my room. As stated, you were in an owners room (not mine) and they are advertised everywhere as a honeymooon suite. It was one of the units closests to the ocean. I am sorry that you felt that you were lied, to, I never had a single intention of lying to you or other guest. Just trying to help you have a beautiful vacation and that is why I also, spent time researching airfares to help out for your trip. Since you did not how to that.

I was so excited to stay at this hotel, I heard the pool was fantastic. However, from the moment of booking I was off to a bad start. This hotel charges OUTRAGEOUS fees, the fees were more than double the room-rate. I definitely did not mean to hit confirm, that was an accident after I saw the fees, but I hit confirm and it was downhill from there.

Check-in- The hotel was pretty and looked very clean upon walk-in, but the loveliness was cancelled out by the down-right rude front desk/ check in attendant. She was not a nice person, very short with me, a little sarcastic even. I did not feel welcome and I found out there that the room I had booked was a "private owner" room, not the actual hotel room. The check in lady then treated me like a second or third class citizen and showed no genuine aloha.

Pool was great, but super slow service and not enough umbrellas or shady areas or side tables next to beach chairs.

The room: The room was okay, it was cute, small. It was relatively clean, but the toilet wasn't even flushed, I guess the cleaners forgot that part. Eww.

As for comfort, the beds were TERRIBLE. I booked thinking I was getting a select comfort bed, but got a squeaky, hard, uncomfortable bed, which is important to me as I have a bad back.

I will NEVER stay here again, just not worth the money paid at all. I could have stayed at a much much nicer resort for the total price paid and get better service, I really regret staying here. Lesson learned.

This came up on a search for hotels when we were looking for a last-minute place to spend our last day on Kauai. The rate was good and photos showed a fabulous beachfront pool, which is really all we cared about for that day. We booked a non-refundable room, and then noticed the fees. On top of the room rate, we were charged a resort fee, a cleaning fee, and a 24-hour desk fee (these were all rolled into a single line item called "Taxes and Fees;" I called the website that issued my reservation to get the list of itemized fees). There is also a daily parking fee, but we weren't charged for parking because we didn't have a car. Even without the parking fee, our moderately priced hotel room ended up costing almost 3 times the posted room rate.

The room was a privately-owned unit at Kauai Beach Resort in Lihue. It was small but comfortable, and there were snacks, cold drinks, tea, coffee and cocoa in the room. This was a Mountain View room overlooking the parking lot and the roof of a neighboring wing. There were beach toys provided on the small balcony. Bath linens were soft and plush but had an off odor; Aveda toiletries improved the experience. Bedding and beds were comfortable. Housekeeping is provided once per stay. Our check-in and check-out went smoothly and the front desk staff were very polite.

The resort is a little tired on the exterior but interior common spaces have been updated and were warm and welcoming. The pool was really fun and we loved the waterslide. The pool and slide attendants were friendly and helpful. The location is convenient to the airport.

Overall the quality of the resort and the room were acceptable, but the steep fees made it a poor value. I won't book through Gaia Gives again and would not recommend it to others.

It is the responsibility of the guest to review any additional fees for the room, before booking the room. Also, we have never charged anything more in addition to what was clearly listed as the fees for the room before guest book. Future travellers are advised to read reviews from other sites that haven been operational with actual guest stay since 2009, and we have consistently maintained a 4.5 star review or higher rankings on sites where verified guests leave a review after booking and staying.

Their rooms need an update but overall pretty clean. Remember to return the towel card even if you didn't borrow any towels, they will charge you! It's right on the beach, nice for walks and watching sunset. Room comes with a mini refrigerator, perfect for drinks and snacks.

This room is in a hotel but owned and managed by a private person!
It is filthy and dirty. Electrical wires coming out of the wall, electrical sockets not fixed, dirty stains on the floor, private stuff from the owner in the closet (vacume cleaner, pictures, etc.)

not sure about all the bad reviews. I spent 5 nights and loved every minute of it. The hotel is close to everything (it helps that Kauai is so small). The staff and everything about the place was perfect!
