Find hotels in South Shore, HI from $165

"We recently spent 3 days at Ko’a Kea Resort in Kauai and was disappointed with the experience. The property looked much older and smaller than it appears online, and the “ocean view” room was quite far from the water. The pool area was very small, with not enough chairs for guests—we had to place towels on the ground to sit. Additionally, the pool bar was out of service one of the three days of our stay. When I raised concerns about the room not matching the photos, no meaningful solution or compensation was offered. I still had a wonderful trip overall, but the hotel was not a highlight. The one standout was the restaurant Red Salt, which was excellent."

"Very clean, smaller room but very cozy"

"We had a great stay in the deluxe ocean view room. Spectacular views, great beach to swim at. The restaurants were really good too, we just were bummed we couldn’t get room service the night we arrived. Other than that, amazing food at lava and rum fire. Coffee shop onsite was great too. Already planning or next trip"

"We had a great 2 night stay, the hotel is in a great location and walking distance to the beach where the turtles hang out. The accommodation was quite dated but it was clean and very spacious and did the job."

"Amazing. Planning the next visit. "

"The room was spacious and the pools were incredible. Everything about this resort is beautiful."

"Amazing that there was a washer and dryer in the room. And the late pool hours. A must when traveling with kids! "

" Had a great time in Kauai. Hadn't been back to the island in 15 years. I have to say that the stay was made particularily enjoyable by staying at Castle Kiahuna Plantation & beach Bungalows. Our stay was in suite 89 and the supplies provided were all good. Nicely decorated and was very clean. Short walk to the beach that was excellent. Would recommend this suite as very good. Only caveat is that if you are the type that must have air-con , this suite does not have it. Not sure if other suites on the grounds have it. Breezes keep the suite very comfortable , so no problem for us. "

"Overall property was clean, room was nice. Expect to be nickel and dimed daily for resort fees and parking but not receive service and value in return. A good hotel, but not a resort by any stretch. Least accommodating hotel we stayed in. Better value at the Whaler Resort."
