This is the last day of our stay here at Aloha Beach in Kauai. We booked through Alaska Airlines before we read the reviews that others had writen about this hotel. After reading the reviews, we called Alaska to see about changing hotels and I am so glad our agent talked us out of it. This place is charming, friendly and affordable. We are right near a large wonderful park(bring a kite), the best beach for snorkeling and directly accros the street from the best luau on the island, Smiths. Our room was kept clean and the staff was wonderful! And all the hoopla about roosters is quite moot as the roosters are everywhere on this island! The money we saved on our room allowed us to go on a helicopter ride (Blue Hawaiian the absolute best), rent a mustang convertable and buy more souveniers. Oh yeah, we also could afford to tip much better! No kidding, this place is great and the staff went to great lengths to make sure we had the best vacation we have had in years.

me and my wife stayed here for seven days, its was great.. loves the room, bed, staff, awesome location. you can bet i will stay here again.. awesome no complaints

We stayed at the Aloha Beach resort twice: one night in a cabin at the beginning of our stay and one night in a basic hotel room at the end of the stay. The cabin was worn and overpriced (smelled a bit musty when we first arrived and we swore there was a dragon living in the toilet) but the room at $108 was a very good deal. The location right on the beach, particularly with the swimming area at Lydgate was great.

We don't have kids but I would highly recommend this place for anyone that does (and those that don't but want an inexpensive centrally located place). There is an amazing wood playhouse / maze about 1km south of the resort. I've never seen anything like it. The snorkeling at Lydgate is as safe as you can get with lots of relatively tame fish.

The location is also really close to lots of dining and shopping options while still being quite and it's a good jumping off point to explore the rest of the island.

Clean rooms, great beach nearby, renovations nearly completed. Pool was being cleaned, smaller pool was open. Great location for exploring the rest of the island. If you want a 5-star hotel- then pay for one- this is not it. We were very happy with the service.
