The resort is fully open and operational following Hurricane Lowell. All of our guest services have resumed, including operations of our restaurants and bars, pool and cabanas, spa, gift shop, jewelry vendors, shuttle, and valet services.

 

While we are grateful that the resort came through the storm safely, we remain very mindful that parts of our local community are still working through cleanup and recovery. We deeply respect the time and effort that families, businesses, and our island neighbors need to rebuild and recover. We welcome you to be a part of that with your visit. 

 

We are pleased to welcome our guests back to Kauaʻi and will continue to encourage them to explore and enjoy the many businesses and experiences that are open, while being respectful and sensitive to areas and communities that are still recovering. Our hope is to support both our guests and our local community as Kauaʻi moves forward together.

Reviews

I recently stayed at the Royal Sonesta Kauai Resort for a solo trip, and I was blown away by the beauty of the resort and the kindness of the staff. I especially enjoyed the yoga classes, the delicious breakfast buffet, and the stunning views from my room. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway.

My partner and I recently spent a week at the Royal Sonesta Kauai Resort for our anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect. The resort is beautiful, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the location is stunning. We especially enjoyed the private beach, the delicious food, and the relaxing spa treatments. We can’t wait to come back!

Sarah & Michael

Our family recently enjoyed an unforgettable vacation at the Royal Sonesta Kauai Resort. Direct beach access made it easy for us to spend days building sandcastles and exploring the beautiful coastline. Kauai’s incredible hiking trails and waterfalls were just minutes away, and the resort’s convenient location made it easy to experience all the island has to offer. I highly recommend this resort!
