Top Barking Sands Beach Hotel Reviews

Ko'a Kea Resort on Po'ipu Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had the absolute best stay at the Koa Kea. We loved how the resort is on the smaller side, and you can easily walk out of your room and to the pool, beach, or to some nearby businesses (little fish, puka dog, surf shop..). The staff was super friendly and accommodating as well. I also loved being greeted with real leis, chocolate for our honeymoon, and wine in the room when we arrived! The pool bar had some yummy food, and good drinks. The sunrise yoga was fantastic as well. We stayed here for our honeymoon and actually preferred it to the first half of our trip, when we stayed at Hotel 1 Hanalei. Again, we loved how small and intimate Koa Kea felt, and it had a calm, relaxing vibe with mostly adults staying at the property. We already can't wait to come back again for an anniversary in the future."

Koloa Landing Resort at Poipu, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"All good, good service. I would love another restaurant option inside the resort, since this area of the island doesn’t offer too much options. They only have one restaurant by the pool, would be very nice to have another option and maybe the closing time be a little bit more late. Everything in the island closes at 9pm, I would love that the resort your staying offer you the option to have food available until 10pm for example. Other than that the resort is beautiful!"

Sheraton Kauai Resort Villas

8/10 Good

"Love the location in the calm bay next to Poipu beach. I wish I was able to get a better choice or understanding of the 1 bedroom room options, ensuring we were booking a room with a pullout sofa. The living area is smaller than I expected, with the bathroom more open into the kitchen living area. We were good not having a dining table to eat, but it would have been nicer to be just a little bigger. This was for myself and my two kids. The hospitality team was amazing and the grounds were kept very nice. We spent most of our time on the beach right at the resort, which made the location ideal for us."

Hanalei Colony Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Hanalei Colony Resort was nothing short of exceptional—an easy 10/10! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found a truly special place. If you’re looking for peace, relaxation, and the authentic beauty of Kauai, this is it. The location is absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to the lush mountains, listening to the waves, and enjoying the cool trade winds made every day feel like paradise. The climate was perfect for us—comfortable temperatures, fresh ocean breezes, and just enough tropical rain to keep everything incredibly green and beautiful. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. Every interaction made us feel like valued guests, and their hospitality added so much to our experience. We completely fell in love with Hanalei and the North Shore. The slower pace of life, stunning scenery, amazing food, and friendly people made it incredibly difficult to leave. It was exactly the kind of relaxing vacation we had hoped for. Hanalei Colony Resort provided the perfect escape from busy everyday life. Whether we were enjoying the views from our lanai, exploring the area, or simply unwinding, every moment felt peaceful and rejuvenating. We are already planning our return trip next year. Thank you to everyone at Hanalei Colony Resort for making our vacation so memorable. We can’t wait to come back!"

Sheraton Kauai Resort

8/10 Good

"Grounds were meticulously maintained. The buildings and our room were well kept but it’s an older property so things are showing their age here and there. Pools were great but here is an insider tip. The pool by the beach is busy with a lot of kids and the bar is there. If you want to chill the pool over by the building with reception desk is much quieter with hardly any kids We had an ocean view room and it was spectacular. Lava was typical bar. It could use some updates. Rumfire onsite restaurant was fire. Great dinner there butterfish and lamb chop combo."

Ocean-View Studio, Steps to Beaches, in Sunny Poipu

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed staying in this cute little studio. Absolutely loved the patio where we sat every morning drinking coffee and watching the surf, birds, and people jogging or walking by. Loved walking up to the local market for supplies. The pool was great and we could walk to the beach to snorkel and see all the beautiful fish or watch the surfers. Location was great too as we traveled in both directions around the island for hiking, kayaking, and shopping."
