Kauai Sands Hotel

+ cheap, clean, good location, safe, complimentary breakfast - old, paid parking, paid internet, needs repairs

Glad to see they are updating the hotel,construction didn't interrupt our stay at all. Warm and welcoming staff was all very nice and friendly. Our mountain view room was upgraded to pool view without any price difference. Clean beach to watch sunrise from and free lobby wifi was a plus. A bit more of a breakfast choice would be nice. We would defiantly stay at the Kauai sands again. Mahalo

You cannot ask for a better location. The people that work here showed me the true spirit of aloha! Very helpful, kind, and knew what they were talking about. The hotel is really clean! The beach is nice, a little rough to swim there. Ask for the poolside rooms, and you will have a nice ocean view also. The hotel is being remodeled, so I am sure anything will be updated soon

At first we were a little unsure, but if you can see past the renovations in progress, it is a gem. Perfectly located to make day trips both north and south on the island. Our mornings began with being able to walk out the hotel room, grab a cup of coffee in the office and sit on the beach watching the sunrise! The beach is RIGHT there! Next door is a great little shopping area with good food, any essentials and very nice shop owners. If this hotel is able to stick with the blue color scheme and do just a few more upgrades, it will be the crown jewel!

The building was renovated at the time we got there. We were scheduled to a room that had nobody else stay on that side (the balcony were connected all the way so that I can walk through and look at other messy room even without bed sheets or mattress). The light was dark in the aisle. My mom felt it was like in a scared movie. We asked to change the room even though they charge EXTRA dollars for a better room location. Plus, the internet is only free in the lobby. However, the hotel's location was great. Sun rise only few steps away. Market and restaurants were nearby. The morning coffee was good. Would not recommend this hotel, but I would recommend this location for staying on the island.

All employees were very friendly and easy to communicate with!! Location was awesome because you could reach all parts of Kauai quickly!!

So...the Kauai Sands is a great hotel if you are solely seeking a place to sleep and you spend the rest of your time out and about. The staff is friendly, the free coffee was descent but the rooms are a throwback in time to a distant past that has long gone for a reason. Get the rooms with kitchenettes - PERIOD! Do not rent on the side that faces the bar called Trees. It gets quite loud on Wednesday nights. My advice, book in advance so you do not have to stay here

You definitely get your money's worth at Kauai sands. Amazing location, right on the beach and very secluded. All we needed. The staff was amazing and went out of their way to make our stay the best! We will definitely be returning!

We got this hotel in a package deal for a weekend getaway to Kauai. The rooms probably haven't been updated since the 70s. It was pretty clean. The best part about the hotel was the pool and beach proximity. We have a baby and I asked for a crib or play pen and they wanted to charge me $25/day. They need some major upgrades to compete with the nicer hotels around them.

well I do bealive staff need to be more prepare on evacuations, mentally prepare the guess at check in not at the moment of evacuation, this panic tourist plus it makes it even harder to get around in a place u hardly know to follow a map under the sirens of a sunami alert. plus wasn't reinburst for not staying the night in the room. Even thou they have complimentary coffee every morning there were no coffe mate in the room, no alarm clock.
