Plantation Hale Suites

Kauai
I booked 2 King rooms we asked for early check in, they couldn’t do that because they had been booked up the night before . We came back at 3:00 (which was their check in time) we could only get 1 of the king rooms at that time. She offered us a Double room at that point. I ask when the other king would be ready she said it might be ready around 5 (2 hrs after check in). We had to be ready for a Luau we had booked by 5 so we took the Double room . I asked about a discount for not getting the room we booked ahead for and was told no the the double room rate is more. The rooms are outdated, they look like they start to remodel some but didn’t finish (THE ONLINE PICTURES ARE VERY DECEIVING) . As far as the cleanliness of the rooms that was a laugh for BOTH ROOMS. There is a sigh to take your shoes off it is the Hawaiian way, that’s was another laugh our bare feet never touched the floor. I had to Lysol the bathroom down just to feel somewhat clean. I am sure that it was not COVID cleaned. Oh and the Air Conditioning was a window unit with a make shift vent to the bedroom from the living room in one room and the other room had 2 wall units. (They did work pretty good) One good thing is the fans work well. We did ask for a late check out due to having a late flight home and once again was told they couldn’t because they were booked up again. Then they called and gave us an extra 30 minutes. I find it interesting that most of the most of the rooms looked empty the whole time we were there. VERY DISAPPOINTED

We stayed in condo 112. I am starting with the Pros..The location was perfect had a beautiful view. The pool and grounds were very nice and well kept. Although the pool could use a little bit of repair and cleaning, there was some what looked like black mold on the grout in the pool, it was very clean overall. The staff at the desk and maintenance people were wonderful, Carey was very quick at handling any issues we had. Now Cons... I had researched ALOT and thought i picked one with a couch that looked relatively comfortable. I am aware of couches that are rattan and also a hide a bed but i guess i will have to be more attentive next time. The matching chairs were not comfortable either. My husband and i have back/leg issues so this was not acceptable. The bed was somewhat comfortable as they had added a foam pad and extra mattress pad. The sliding glass door was very hard to open. The louvered window on one side would not open. The side window louvered windows had pull up wooden curtains, one was broken and you could hardly get it up. The one in the kitchen window was not there, you could see holes where one might have been. We were along a main walkway so people could see in at all times. The one curtains in the bedroom was also broken the backing was shredded hanging down. The unit was relatively clean although the glass shelving inside the door was dirty. The toaster oven looked very worn.. The rug has some stains behind chairs to the left as you walk in. Wish was tile.

I almost don’t want to write this so I can keep this secret AMAZING hotel in my back pocket. This was our first time in Hawaii and my criteria was to be on the beach in a laid back location. I work in the design industry, so I appreciated the way that the rooms were both laid out and the updated comfortable furnishings. We were in a unit with a beach view on the ground floor. Every morning we would wake up to watch a stunning sunrise and wander slowly on the beach for a stroll with our coffee. We had our teenage daughter with us who had her own closed off area and bathroom. Having 2 bathrooms and a kitchen was incredible. We ended up cooking more than going out due to how expensive all of restaurants are. There were grills located near the pool area that we utilized and laundry services that looked great but we never partook. Having a pool and hot tub was a nice bonus, but we spent most of our time exploring the beaches so we really only dipped in later in the afternoons. The staff was and will be one of my main reasons for returning. They could not have been more accommodating and lovely. Thank you Makanna for jumpstarting our car! Just to begin my accolades of every single person that worked there that we interacted with. Lei was the first person that we met and her calm nature was just so lovely. Shout out to Lehua for driving us to the botanical gardens when our car broke down and for just being such a sweetheart of a person and a wealth of knowledge. We met several of the staff that I can’t recall their names but when I bumped into them in town, it was like seeing an old friend. Thank you to the staff that continuously provided us with clean towels and renewed our tp and paper towels. We met Juliette one afternoon and she was so sweet. Chawaka, Sierra and Dayna, our stay was perfect because of the care that you took. I cannot wait to return, too bad that we love soo far away. Until next time 🤙❤️🤙❤️🤙❤️

When I called the resort to confirm our room before we arrived, the hostess asked if we were the owner or if we were renting. When I informed her that we were renting, I was told that we may or may not receive the owners room. I immediately had a gut feeling that something was off with this comment. Well...sure enough...when we arrived we were placed in a room had problems that did not get resolved for the entire week of our stay. The air conditioning did not work in the living room and one of the bedrooms, and the phone did not work. We called about the A/C on the second day, and a portable unit was brought into our living room with a partial wood wall installed between the patio doors for the a/c ventilation (which blocked access to the patio and the beautiful mountain view. We called for maintenance again, but they never came. We also received a text from the resort that the a/c was low on freon and they were trying to schedule someone to come out and fill the unit. The following day, I received a generic text message from the resort asking how our stay was; going. After leaving a negative review, an assistant manager called. She informed us that they have been unable to schedule a date and time to get the a/c repaired; she apologized for the inconveniences and sent a maintenance worker to our room who emptied the condensation from the portable a/c unit. The assistant manager also asked that we stop by the office that evening because the manager would like to speak with us. When we arrived at the office, the assistant manager met with us and gave us two $50 gift cards; the manager did not come out and talk with us. I was quite insulted because $100 is nothing compared to the amount of money that we paid to stay at this resort. We feel that the resort should have moved use to a different room. As far as the telephone goes, we were unable to use it to call for a ride to the parking lot. Because we were staying near the bottom of a steep hill and because I have a walking impairment, this was very frustrating. One more thing is that there is only one restaurant operating on this resort. It is only open from 3-9 pm, so NO breakfast! It is also closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so there is no fool on the resort those days. I came to this resort many years ago and loved it so much that I wanted to come back and maybe purchase one of their time shares, But, after this trip, I do not think so. We had lots of things planned and still had fun on the island, but I was so disappointed in our accommodations at the resort and the fact that management was unable to fix the issues.

Poipu Poipu
Two of the six stayed in Kauai for ten days. I stayed at the hotel the first two days and decided to try it out. The experience was good. I stayed for four days and wanted to end my flight to Maui. Let's discuss it and want to stay, and live for another four days. The hotel's early breakfast package is $ 20 per person per day at the restaurant, and the rest is paid for itself. The breakfast is good. On the second day we checked in, we found that the kitchen equipment in the room was very good, so we went to the supermarket on the island to buy the ingredients to cook for ourselves. We made potato shreds, chili fried meat, tomato scrambled eggs, green pepper eggplant, and corn paste. I cook porridge, cook rice in a small stainless steel pot, and use Japanese hot sauce in the supermarket with pancake rolls and scallions. The man in the Chinese stomach is more satisfied. In the spare time, I went to the online red bookstore on the island and bought the English version of the first version in 1999. Liberty, and a net red cat. The hotel has a beautiful swimming pool, but there is no beach. We ran to the nearby Sheraton Hotel beach every day to watch the sunset and play water surfing. The hotel room has a three-seater sofa for adults to sleep, and extra beds are available for free, but we only use the sofa. bed. The hotel has free parking and it is very convenient to park anywhere. In short, we will miss here.

Note that in addition to the hotel fee, there is an additional resort fee of $26 per day. This fee is not included in the room rate. The customer service said that it was stated in the order. I repeatedly checked and couldn't find it. Parking is free and there is no entertainment at night.

Breakfast: capsule coffee, whole wheat slices and white bread slices (with toaster), apple (whole skin), 1% low fat milk (ice, microwave oven next to capsule coffee machine), orange juice (concentrated orange juice with water) That kind, it is pure, but not nfc craft), grape sauce, butter, a dozen kinds of cereal. The hotel is very environmentally friendly and the tableware is degradable and disposable, so pack it yourself. No extra beds, children, parking, morning yoga classes from 6:30 to 7:30, yoga mats available in the room. The toiletries provided by the hotel are all lemongrass-like. There is no air conditioning. They are big fans, but the lovely island does not need air conditioning. It is very cool. It will be lit by the pool from 6pm to 10pm. There is a bull shed steakhouse in the hotel worth trying. There is a food land, safeway supermarket, there is a gas station at McDonald's, the traffic is simply not too convenient. The kenji burger at the intersection is a patties made with Hawaiian grass-fed beef. It is a family business. Can you eat the boss's mood?
Kauai Shores Hotel

Good access: 10 to 15 minutes drive from the airport. Good for convenience: There were several malls nearby and restaurants, markets and shopping centers were close. Car parking: Overall good, but there is no space after 9pm so you have to use the valet service or walk along the street. Overall, the facilities and location were too good for the price. A hotel that impressed us as a honeycomb.
