Yes, everything is old in the hotel but, they do keep it clean. We were not looking for fancy and were not disipointed. We never had to use the A.C. which most places dont have anyway because it's KAUAI ! not California. Temperature was great even when it rained. We left a bunch of change out and nobody touched it...

At first, it seemed like this hotel wasn't going to be too bad. Unfortunately, it was. There are drunk constructions workers everywhere you look. I'm not picky AT ALL about the hotels I stay in, but I wouldn't return to this place. We were only in the room to sleep and shower, but still, that was too long. A/C didn't... More

Kauai Sands is a great option for those who don't want to break the bank. Everything on Kauai is expensive, and this place, at $60/night is a steal. It's a great option for those who want to be centrally located, and who don't care about spending their entire time at their hotel. The rooms are basic and very clean. The... More

This place is really not worth the pricetag. Yes, hotels are expensive on the island, but this dump is really not worth the 80$+ pricetag. When you compare this hotel with any other 3star in the U.S. where you pay 80$+ a night you realize how much of a rip off this place is for what you get. The only... More

I needed a room for one night only as I was preparing for a camping trip on the island. Great price ($69 before tax), clean room, beach to swim from, friendly staff. Myonly complaint was that I left a rechargeable flashlight plugged in to a wall socket when I left, and when I stopped by a few days later to... More

I will definitely stay again. I loved the friendly staff and the location. This hotel isn't for those that want room service or pampering. If you want a clean room and a pleasant place to wake up every morning, you have it here. My husband and I had a garden view room which was fine, but we discovered that one... More

My husband and I also have stayed at this hotel at least 7 times in the last 15 years (alternating between Hawaii and Kauai). We loved the hotel when we first came, but like many are saying, it is in a terrible state of disrepair. The staff are always super nice and helpful, and told us that the owners had... More

I have stayed at Kauai Sands a number of times over the last 15 years. The most important thing to me is the low price, but I enjoy that its right on the beach and find the rooms comfortable and the staff nice. Yeah its true that the exterior looks more and more beat up, because of the extreme weathering... More

The Kauai Sands Hotel doesn't look like it's been renovated since the '70s. The checkout counter and looks beat, and the mailboxes and safety deposit boxes haven't had any attention in years. Not that it's a big deal, but just spend a few bucks to refurbish little things like that and it makes a big difference in my opinion. The... More
