    Love the staff and local but Hilton I’m disappointed

    I really wanted to love this place. The beach side access and pool are both nice. Staff was very kind, compassionate and accommodating. However, the hot tub was under maintenance our whole stay which really bummed me out, and my family is gluten free and the accommodations were scarce. I saw on their website and reviews they offered gluten free pancakes but when we got there the GF pancakes were not available. There were other amenities missing and it’s truly a cop out. The food was outrageously priced and not worth the value. We will be staying at a completely different resort next trip. I loved Kalani Jo and his Ukulele class! Cina, the hostess that checked us in was such a sweetheart, very helpful and accommodating. She deserves a raise! I hope Hilton will improve this location and support the lovely staff we cherished during our stay. Mahalo and Aloha.

    Best Stay Ever for our Honeymoon!

    My husband and I 100% recommend this resort for Kauai! It’s perfectly located to wear you can get pretty much anywhere on the island in under 40 minutes (many of the towns were within 15/20 minutes of the hotel). The staff was excellent, made us feel like we were staying with family. Everyone was welcoming, helpful, gave us great local recommendations. The room was very clean and was spacious. Having the two pools was really nice as well as the little swimming area by the beach on property. Most of the beaches in Kauai the waves are too strong to swim but the spot on the hotel property was perfect. Restaurant on site was delicious too. VERY REASONABLE PRICE FOR A NICE PLACE!!!! We didn’t have to spend an arm and a leg on our room rate or parking to stay here and still have a high quality stay. We loved this hotel WAY MORE than the “fancy resort” we stayed at on Oahu. If we come back to Kauai we would stay here again, highly reccomended to all.

    5 Stars – A Memorable First Visit to Hawaii!

    Stayed: April 18th at Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay This was my first time visiting Hawaii, and my stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay made it unforgettable. The location is fantastic—close to the airport and nestled in a beautiful spot with absolutely incredible views. The real standout of my stay, though, was Bree at the front desk. She was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Her tips became my personal guide throughout the trip and helped me make the most of my time on the island. Thank you, Bree, for your warm hospitality and for helping make my first trip to Hawaii so special. I’ll definitely be back!

    Great Aloha spirit from Curt and Julie

    We spent 6 nights at the Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We felt like celebrities, even though I know that they treat everybody with the same wonderful aloha spirit. Special thanks to Curt, the jack of all trades, and Julie the housekeeping lady. Our wonderful stay on Kauai was made even better by the people who work hard to make it great.

    Disappointing Stay at Hilton Garden Inn Kauaʻi

    I recently stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Kauaʻi—and sadly, it was the first Hilton property I’ve encountered that doesn’t live up to the Hilton name. Instead of the quality and luxury we expect, I found the front‑desk staff and breakfast attendants to be surprisingly rude. Parking will set you back $25 per night, and breakfast costs $30 per person (with a $10 cappuccino) for a sparse buffet that included bread but no ham or cheese for a simple sandwich. Housekeeping is only every other day, so after beach outings our room became messy and sandy. To top it off, our first‑floor room overlooked the staff parking lot—hardly the Hawaiian vista one dreams of. The one bright spot was the beachside bar, where friendly staff, tasty food and drinks, and an incredible sunset view reminded me of what Hilton hospitality can—and should—be.
