    It was a well needed guy's trip. We wanted something not to fancy. We arrived late was greeted with aloha from Chanel. Super friendly, funny and kind. The view was amazing and room was well kept. overall experience 4 1/2 stars.

    Majestic! No photo in the world can capture for you the cool refreshing trade winds that accompanies this scene

    Lovely vacation condo in a near perfect location in beautiful, Kapa'a. Stayed here a few days while visiting several friends of ours who live in diverse parts of Kaua'i. We are no frills people so we're rarely disappointed ... this location is prime! Central to access to the northern part of the island, quick access to the airport and good access to the south and west (just avoid what the locals call "the Kapa'a crawl" at rush hour). Absolutely mesmerized by the prevailing trades that made it so cool and breezy ... excellent for sleeping or just relaxing and enjoying the view. We didn't have time to test the pool, sauna or jacuzzi but we will try to hit these next time. Honestly with so much to see on this island, pool seems so trivial. Everyone was awesome and everything was great. Definitely appreciated the new standard operating procedures where housekeeping doesn't come to your room unless you call. We don't need housekeeping daily as we are trained adults who can make our own beds, wash our own clothes and take out our own trash. This aspect gives the resort a homey feel and less of a hotel. Definitely will try return on our next trip to Kauai. Mahalo for reading my review.

    My wife and I had an amazing stay at an amazing island (Kauai). This is one of my favorite places on Earth. New employee Sini so personable, high energy, big smile and truly engaged. Great hire by Worldmark. We spoke the day I checked in for about 5 minutes and on my last day I walked into reception and I asked one question to her. What is my name. She took a moment to think about it and got it right. With the volume of people that are in and out it is very hard to remember people but she has exactly what I would seek for my business if she lived on the mainland. Great hire WM please take care of her she is a keeper. Your grounds crew does an incredible job as well I spoke with a few and watched them start there day at 7am to make there guest memorable with the grounds and the views! Mahalo Brent

    Technically I give this 3.5 stars. It's an older unit. However, it is very clean. We had just came from a week at Worldmark in Kihei and our unit there was quite dirty, so the cleanliness was very welcome. The grounds are beautiful. It's on the water, although on a non swim able beach. They do have a nice grassy area where you can lay out and look at the water, and a nice pool and hot tub . One day when we were there the pool was quite cloudy. I'm not sure what that was about. Didn't swim that day. Now... they do not have air conditioning here. When I'm in Hawaii, I generally don't use air conditioning. I enjoy that. However, it was problematic in this instance because the dryer vented INTO the unit. So anytime you want to do any washing or drying, your unit would get very humid and there was really no way to get rid of that. I had several sleepless nights because we needed to wash our suits and towels at the end of the day. It just got hotter and stickier than it needed to be. The beds all sagged a bit. There weren't many families here. Not an issue for us... I particularly appreciate it not listening to a chorus of Marco Polo all day! It was quite serene. Now, the town is not fancy but it is centrally located. You can easily go to the northern or southern part of the island in a reasonable amount of time. I think I would probably stay in this area again next time. I'm not sure about this particular property for the future because I did find I didn't sleep well here, which was disappointing.

    This was our first time visiting Kauai. We stayed in a 3rd floor condo. The grounds and pool were nice. I spent many evenings and mornings sitting on the lounge chair overlooking the ocean. No beach access, but you can walk down a little ways and there is a small sandy area. Bike trail access right next to condo. Staff was nice and accommodating. The ONE thing that would keep me from coming back is the bug problem. Ants all over the unit and the roaches . They sent someone to spray the unit but the whole complex needs to be fumigated. Yes, the unit had no AC which sucked, but sitting outside on the balcony or on the lounge chairs was a relief and as other said, you get a good cross-breeze through the unit. I can handle the heat and humidity but the ant and roach infestation is not acceptable.

    Great location.

    Waves crash against the shore drowning out most other noises. We are separated from the ocean by the pool and a small strip of sand. View of the ocean is amazing from up on the third floor. I watched as light of the sun began to illuminate the darkness and it appeared from the ocean. It began as a slight golden glow until night became day. The birds came with the sun. A good variety patrol the area for leftover bread Maggie left on the patio. I spotted a cardinal, sparrows, pigeons, and mynah birds. I listen to the birds singing. Their songs mix with that of waves. This resort is peaceful and relaxing. There is no AC but a breeze blows through the patio to the front door which you can leave open due to the locking screen door. We stayed in August and while it was warm I didn't mind the lack of AC. The lcd tv has HDMI ports in the back to plug in a laptop or gaming system. Washer and dryer is in the unit so you don't need to pack a ton of clothes. Full kitchen has limited spices, pots, pans, and utensils. You will need cooking oil and maybe more spices. There is no elevator but I'd love staying in our 1 bedroom + loft unit on the 3rd floor again.

    We have been a Worldmark owner since 2006 and this is our fave resort. Of all of Worldmark. This location is prime!!! I been reading these reviews and wonder if they got the wrong resort. Worldmark must keep Kapaa shores! All rooms , every single one, is an ocean front , not just ocean view room. It's so gorgeous. It's not fancy, but it's clean and so beautiful! Rooms have new appliances, Fresh paint, comfy bed w crisp linens and fluffy pillows. I stayed at pono kai for one night and couldn't wait to rush back to Worldmark Kapaa shores. We got ocean front beach and lovely shady trees , soft grass , beautiful blue-tiles bottom sparkling pool. Our room had a washer / dryer unit inside. Totally spoiled here. I had 3 hard to please teenagers on this trip , and all agree that this stay was heaven. Oh and the complimentary Kona coffee in our room was strong and delicious. Very accommodating staff! We love you Worldmark Kapaa shores!!!!! We are so sad to leave today and will rush back soon.

    See all

    From the perspective of a lifetime Hilton loyalist who has stayed in many Hilton Garden Inns in my…read moretime, this is better than most. It has all of the requisite HGI necessities such as clean, standardized rooms, available breakfast made to order, and a price point that does not break the bank compared to big resorts on Kaua'i. I had a comfortable stay here with easy parking, a comfortable room, and good wi-fi. It doesn't hurt that you can see the ocean from some rooms and that the property grounds have some unexpected nice touches such as a koi pond water feature, a spacious airy lobby open to the outside, and easy self parking for a fee. In this genre of Hilton portfolio hotel, it hits a bit above its expected weight. What keeps it in the 4-star range (instead of 5) is its location. It is relatively near Lihue and the airport (about a 12-15 min drive) but far from any of the major resort spots that Kaua'i is really known for (like Poipu or Princeville). Its location is just a couple of minutes drive outside of Kapa'a and if you are not looking for a high end vacation resort experience, this will suffice as a place to lay your head with confidence while helping you respect a moderate budget. It is not cheap by most HGI standards but it is reasonable by local Kaua'i lodging standards. A rental car is a must if you choose to stay here because there really is nothing around you within easy or safe walking distance. That is a problem if you are here to be a tourist and see some sights and places that The Garden Isle is known for. It is this location that keeps the pricing here down but the inconvenience factor high. I liked this property for what it was and I would stay here again if my reason for coming to Kaua'i was for anything other than a higher end resort experience. I'm sure there are even cheaper places to stay on this island but then again, I don't think that the Salvation Army has a loyalty program or a koi pond.

    4/29/26: Weeeellllll, this place ia the motel 6 of Hiltons. This hotel should NOT be classified as…read morea "Hilton" property. We were locked out of our room (cottage 3121) for forty five minutes yesterday, because the battery to the outside door lock died. Then, later that evening, we had to call maintenance again because the inside lock is broken. 4/30/26: we decided the price was not worth this crap hole. When we went to check out and cancel our week reservation, they didn't even try to remedy any situation. We are Diamond Hilton member's and there are pretty much zero perks for us loyal customers. Still had to pay $25 a day for parking! Like....come on. Pro: bed was comfy We ended up booking a airbnb instead. So we'll be paying a little more for our trip, but its worth it. I would seriously avoid this property if you can. But if you are on a budget, it might be okay. Make sure to look at all of the reviews!!!!

    Everything about this hotel was great except for the parking…read more The lot is very small and if you come back after 7pm, you probably won't find a parking spot. The valet is free though. They just encourage you to tip the valet every time. The rooms were spacious and clean. The lanai (balcony) was great also. We stayed on the 2nd floor and my kids would sit and eat outside thanks to the amazing Kauai weather. I like the filtered water dispenser machines throughout the property. We didn't have to buy water because we re-used the water bottles they gave us. There's a restaurant on the property that we did not get to try. The hotel is located on the beach also. Too bad the waves were too rough so we did not go in the water there. There are 2 pools and 1 hot tub. You can also rent free bikes to bike around the property. The front desk person said there's a bike trail we can bike for a few miles. This hotel is only about 10 min from Lihue Airport also.

    Overall: 9/10…read more PARKING: The lot is small, but they have complimentary valet, so it's no issue. They even have a free text message program where you just click on the link to retrieve your car, they will get it for you while you are walking to the valet circle. Reduces time and inefficiency, great perk!! HOTEL: It is not a part of a larger hotel chain or corporation. The buildings are old and retrofitted, but honestly I am picky with hotels, and this place is great. It is on the beach, maybe not a good idea to go for a swim on that shoreline, but just being so close to the ocean is wonderful. Each room has a quiet AC unit, and a ceiling fan. They offer Kauai Coffee K-Cups to use in the Keurig in your room. Includes disposable hot cups, little creamer cups, and sugars. All rooms have mini fridges. They have a handful of kitchenette rooms if you needed a sink, bigger fridge, and microwave. All rooms have a lanai, the 1st floors have a lanai that leads directly to the lawn or pool area outside your building. There are 2 pools, 1 hot tub, and fire pit, lawn games, and beach cruiser bikes you can borrow (for free!!) to cruise around by the hotel. There are free filtered water stations around the property. There is even a free photo booth in the corner of the lobby, and it prints out 2 strips of 3 photos, so retro! The Lava Lava Restaurant is on site, and a good option. NEARBY: The hotel is also located next to Coconut Marketplace which includes a large general store (it's the same company as ABC stores) but they also have prepared foods, coffee bar, and smoothie bar. There are also restaurants over there to choose from, and small shops to browse. Just past that shopping center, there is also a Long's Drugs (aka: CVS) if you want to go for a long stroll.
