We came back for the breakfast buffet the next morning, which I enjoyed even more than dinner. We also did an afternoon in a cabana on the beach which was a perfect day. The gym, spa and common area looked gorgeous, and I got to see the bride and grooms room - it was beautiful. Valet is $25 for a few hours and then $59 for the day, no self parking. Having said that, I absolutely would never pay $1000 a night to stay here.. who pays that?? Hard pass.

The staff is extremely welcoming. They really want to help you and take every opportunity to. After our realization that our booking wouldn't work (from our own planning error), they used their taxi to drive us to the other resort to make sure we were situated, and gave us waters while we were waiting for the taxi. We tried to tip them and they insisted not to. Kind people with genuine heart. At the buffet breakfast one of the staff even gave my mom a full papaya to take home since they connected over it. Definitely fits the bill for a resort, super clean property with amazing views that make you really feel you're on vacation. It's probably too expensive for our own wallet but since the company covered our meals and things, it was a great experience.

A tv with a choice of stations & DVDs (We chose South Pacific, filmed nearby, & My Big Fat Greek Wedding). It's more than a beautiful & comfortable bed; there's a good size indoor sitting area and private outdoor lanai where you can eat breakfast! THE CROWNING TOUCH: the room & lanai overlook a luscious roaring waterfall flowing in the Kilauea River, ensconced in a ravine of gorgeous tropical foliage. The river serves as beautiful white noise to block any noise (like morning roosters) but this is a very quiet place anyway. You can't get that guarantee at a hotel. ~ She leaves your beautiful breakfast outside your door in the morning. You eat alone in your room or the lanai in your PJs (if you like). There are no guests/strangers to meet. ~ The room has a ceiling fan & 2 personal fans for those rare 2 minutes when it's hot) 2 of the 4 walls open to the outdoors via half screened sliding windows and sliding glass doors. Breezes & beauty-no bugs. The bathroom also has louvered Hawaiian windows which look out on a beautiful private garden. ~ She provided delicious LION Hawaiian ground coffee for your in-room coffee maker,& fridge,microwave, picnic cooler, beach towels... TIPS: You may want to bring shampoo,conditioner,shower cap & to go coffee cup&lid (all from your last hotel ) MAHALO & enjoy!

We loved our 2bedroom villa, while we had plenty of space the property itself is small enough that walking anywhere doesn't feel like a chore. Here is where we fall off and don't quite hit the 5 stars. Our villa was super clean. Toilets weren't fully cleaned upon arrival and they definitely didn't do a better job during our stay. The couch and blankets had a few mystery stains that grossed me out. Cocktails and the restaurant are insanely expensive. We are talking 28 dollars for a cocktail. Additionally the staff member Nancy (pool attendant) was rude to me. I wasn't able to locate a dry chair in the sun at 4pm. so I asked an employee for permission to use a chair near the cabana. Permission was granted but she wasn't happy about it. So asked me to move, while I didn't have issue with moving I did find it rather unprofessional of her to yell at me for not reading the sign and while she offered to help me when I asked to a dry chair on the sun she walked away ranting about my lack of awareness. To make matters worse the same employee had a separate issue with my husband in reguarda to pool towels. When I tried to address it with the front they weren't very helpful. All in all we did have a great week there and hope to go back.

This review is solely based on the pool and beach access as I did not stay here. Pool is absolutely…read moregorgeous! Unfortunately, it was freezing cold so I couldn't actually enjoy it. The hottub was really beautiful with the waterfall, but there was a kid swimming in it and splashing for over an hour, so I had to wait to enjoy it. Staff should be walking around and making sure everything is in order. They have an abandoned swimup bar, which looks absolutely terrible. To me, it ruined the ambiance of the rest of the pool area. Even if they don't serve alcohol there, it should still be setup for something. Having access to a gold cart going up and down the hill to the beach was such a godsend with our stuff! They were easy to call and arrange both ways. We didn't have to wait very long and the view was beautiful. The beach itself is gorgeous and they have a ton of chairs for their guests to use. Not quite sure I would want to pay their prices to actually stay here (especially with how nitpicky they are based on other reviews), but I was happy for a chance to hangout by the pool for a day.

My husband and I stayed here for a week trip in the summer. I'm not sure how they can categorize…read morethemselves as a resort as you do have to leave the property to get basic needs such as breakfast and lunch. The two restaurants on the property open at 3pm, and are actually closed two days of the week (Wednesday and Thursday were the closed days when we were there). We had to go to the 1 Hotel Resort for breakfast and lunch, which isn't far and can be accessed through the hotels golf cart transportation system, but defeats the purpose of the resort being the destination itself. And if you plan on going anywhere, you NEED a car, there are no Ubers or Lyfts around. We felt stranded when we arrived from our flight at lunch time, starving, and learned the restaurants are closed for another 3 hours, until 3pm. It does have a coffee shop that has drinks, cold and hot homemade sandwiches and snacks for on the go, but the hours it's open depends. The flyer they hand out says it's open from 7am-4pm but we just watched them close today at 1:30pm. There's a QR code that says to scan for live hours, which tells me it doesn't follow the 7am-4pm time frame at all. How would we then know when it's open to plan for it? Thankfully we got in before they closed for a lunch snack. That said, the operating times that can be inconvenient and if you want a proper sit down meal it's not the place. I found myself confused at times, wondering who this place was for because at times I needed food or simply a place to sit, everything seemed to be closed, all the way to the detail of seating areas on a busy dinner night. It's almost as if this isn't a resort meant to be open or helpful for guests living there. Most of the staff is welcoming, I saw one review mention some animosity towards tourists which I could definitely sense at the front desk with one of the ladies, but the rest of the ladies were nice, I think it was just her. 1 Hotel definitely has better service, where they actually critically think to go above and beyond on getting you what you need, though that's expected due to the price difference. The room was clean and had what we needed, full kitchen, master bed and a separate space with a pull out bed that was useful for our family who stayed with us to help with our baby. Overall, I'd rethink calling this location a resort, it's nice but a bit misleading.

Fantastic. If only I…read morecould give more than 5 stars, because this rental home is off-the-chart awesome. The house is about 3/4 miles down a one lane dirt road. You're in the country here, far removed from hotel/motel tourist-type locations. The house itself is comfortable and inviting. There's a really nice kitchen that is the center of the main dining/family room. It's set up perfectly for relaxing with family or friends. From the lanai you have a view of the verdant hills while hearing the waves crashing at nearby Moloa'a bay. There are two kayaks at the house that you paddle downstream a few hundred yards to the beach. The beach at Moloa'a bay is great. We were there during some big waves, but still could swim there without fear of getting smashed to pieces. During the summer, it's apparently as calm as a swimming pool with good snorkeling. The backyard at Jade Lily is a magical spot, with a giant shade tree and the stream rolling by. There's a big gas grill that we gave a serious work out. The nightly cost for Jade Lily was a screaming deal. Dealing with the very friendly owners was a breeze. Without question, next time I'm in Kauai, I'm going to stay at Jade Lily.

We contacted the front desk and were shown beach chairs that were also falling apart. I requested the front desk manager several times and still have not heard from anyone. The head housekeeper did help, but no one from upper management contacted me and I made multiple attempts but I never heard back from them. The housekeeper and room inspectors are obviously failing miserably. The hotel's manager seems to be MIA and is ignoring guests and also woefully inept at any kind of quality management.
