Kauai Coast Resort at the Beachboy

Just returned from our vacation here. Were here on a Shell Vacations Explorer Package. Stayed in Unit 1303, which had a view of the ocean. The unit was comfortable and the staff was very accomodating. We did have some small insects in the kitchen area and also the carpeting was pretty dirty in both the unit and stairways. Between the sand and the red dirt of Kauai, it is understandable. They would have to replace the carpets very often in order to deal with this. The bed was fantastic-- we had just come from the Cliffs Club in Princeville where the lack of A/C and the poor mattress quality was disappointing so this bed was truly heavenly!

Overall, I would highly recommend this resort due largely to its location and amenities. The beach out front is very rough in wave action and lots of coral reef there to get hurt on........ definitely not for kids or for non-swimmers. Lydgate State Park is a beautiful beach for kids and adults both, very safe, and I even saw a turtle there while snorkeling. I guess that's a pretty common sight on this side of the island, but it was all new to me and definitely a highlight of my trip! I definitely would stay here again, as long as I could guarantee myself an ocean view room, it makes such a difference.

I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this resort is. We stayed for 6 nights in a 2 bdrm ocean front unit with beautiful views. It was clean comfortable and fully equipped with a very nice kitchen. Nice pool, very friendly staff and a really good restaurant on site. The resort is close to everything. The beach is nice but a little rough for swimming. A better swimming beach is just a 10 minute walk away. I highly recommend it for a family vacation.

we had a great time at the kauai coast resort. service was outstanding. the rooms were well appointed and cared for. grounds were as well manicured as could be. we enjoyed the pool, and the nearby bar. the hot tub SHOULD have been off-limits to kids after 8 pm -- too many rug rats in and out of the tub destroyed the ambiance, for sure. with that said, we cant wait till our next visit. oh -- we liked the small town feel of kaapa (however you spell it).

We have been to this resort 3 times, and loved it each time! Grounds are immaculately maintained, rooms are spacious and fully equipped. Pools and beach are great! The restaurant had delicious fresh fish specials every day. The poolside bar, and the lounge bar also were nice to relax.

Kapaa is a great location for people like us that like to drive to other parts of the island - 15 minutes to Lihue, 30-40 minutes to the south coast, 45 minutes to the north shore. Plus there are local stores that are less expensive and within walking distance.

Can't wait to go back next year!

We found this resort to be delightful. The unit was well equipped, and the bed was greatly improved once we had an egg crate placed on top of the mattress.

The staff was friendly, the grounds were immaculate and the restaurant was delightful. Kappa is a good central location -- and we will return to the Kaua'i Coast.
