We spent two nights at the Sands until our room at Kauai Beach Villas was available. It is a no frills beach side hotel. For $60 a night, what do you expect? The room was clean, dated, air-conditioned. We could see just a bit of the ocean from our first floor lanai but could hear the surf easily. The front... more

Living in Asia, for the most part, the current global recession isn't nearly as noticeable as it is in the US. I was a little shocked when I was in Honolulu but nothing like I was when I came to the much smaller, northern Hawaiian Island of Kauai. Wow it has been hit and so has the Kauai Sands Hotel.... more

Arrived at midnight after a delayed flight to be met by a courteous night clerk. Room basic with a unique blue carpet. Bath small but clean. Grounds clean and well kept leading out to coast. more

I have stayed here 3 times now. My mom and I come to the island often. It's a great location in the middle of everything. Beach is beautiful, two clean pools to choose from or the ocean. Hotel is older, it's not the Hilton so if that's what you are looking for you won't want don't stay here. But, if... more

We stayed 5 nights in room # 3002 (which is literally steps away from the ocean) and had a fabulous vacation. We could see the waves and hear the ocean from a very comfortable/firm king size bed. We woke up to beautiful sunrises and enjoyed reading from the deck facing the ocean. The staff was very kind and went above... more

I agree that the price point is good, but for 60 bucks a night at least the place should not have roaches! This hotel is run down, smells, and has roaches. I even called to ask for Raid since I know that Kauai has a lot of bugs due to the weather here, but the front desk doesnt even have... more

This hotel does not have all the bells and whistles that some hotels have, but it is GREAT for the price! It is right on the beach and the rooms are comfortable! You are in paradise, so does it really matter how 'lush' it is? I will GLADLY stay there again! more

we have been coming to the Kauai Sands for almost 20 years, and although it has not kept up with the times with remodeling and upgrades, it's great for the money. Staff is as friendly as you get at anyplace in Hawaii with tons of ALOHA spirit. Location is great, and even if driving around, it's pretty much centrally located,... more

This hotel is a good value for the money in Kauai. We stayed only for one night waiting for our time-share condo week in Hanalei area. The room and bathroom was clean and quiet, The room decor was dated but not bad. I could not stay there for a whole vacation. It was fine for a couple of nights of... more

When we first checked into the hotel I thought it was a huge joke. (You have to keep in mind that we had just come from a week long stay at a wonderful resort on Oahu) It was odd to get an actual room key!! We were asked if we wanted to upgrade but we did not see that the... more
