Top Wailua Beach Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay, HI

8/10 Good

"“Beware”… this property charges $25 to park your car a day and they charge $25 a day for resort fee. This added $350 for our week stay."

Aston Islander on the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"."

H-G-T-V type Renovation, Million Dollar view starting at only $210/night!

10/10 Excellent

"Très bien situé pour l'accès à tous les attraits, services et activités. L'appartement est super confortable avec tous les nécessaires dont ceux pour la plage. (boggie bord, chaises, parasol, glacière) En octobre 2026, le seul petit inconvénient ce sont les restes de débris sur la plage à côté du complexe (ouragan). La vue sur la mer et la terrasse invitent à la détente, wow!!!"

"Such a great place to stay and just a short walk to the beach. Perfect!"

Oceanfront Top Floor Luxury Condo with AC - Wailua Bay View 306

"Perfect base to explore Kauai. The condo is beautifully decorated and very generously equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable beach stay, including beach equipment. Everything is well organized and labeled, with instructions as appropriate. The lanai overlooks Wailau Bay and the beach with the mountains in the distance. The central location in Wailau makes it easy to travel to the south and north of Kauai. Plenty of local shopping and dining options, from food trucks to fine dining. Hosts are very responsive to questions and provided extensive information about Kauai in advance to help plan our stay. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return someday."

"Location, view and price were very good for this property. It was just 10-12 minutes to the airport.During the aftermath of Hurricane Lowell, the owner graciously allowed us to remain in the unit past our normal check out time when the airline unexpectedly cancelled/rebooked our flight. In addition, he did not charge us anything for the extra time we were in the unit."
