Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Situated in a tranquil beachfront location with sweeping ocean views, the Kauai Sands Hotel appeals to budget vacationers who are content with no-frills lodging and those seeking a great base for exploring the Garden Island of Kauai. Providing additional convenience is the adjacent Coconut Marketplace with shops, restaurants, and cinemas.
Amenity highlights: A spacious flagstone sundeck surrounds the main pool, and the entire hotel complex is set on an expansive lawn dotted with tall coconut trees. Flanked by fragrant plumeria trees in a quiet courtyard, a second pool offers more privacy. Island-style and American fare and tropical drinks are served in the casual, ocean-view Al & Don’s Restaurant.
Insider tip: The Royal Coconut Coast is an eight-mile strip of sandy beaches, unsurpassed ocean views, and low-key activity. Long ago, the Wailua River provided abundant water for ancient Hawaiians to cultivate crops in this area. As a result, the coast abounds in archaeological sites worth visiting.
