We (family of four) had the best stay at Kauai Shores over the week of Christmas! It is accurately represented by the pictures and details given. The grounds were impeccably kept, our room (with a kitchenette) was clean and suited our needs, but the best part was the hard-working staff. They were always friendly and approachable, and they went above and beyond to ensure guests had a pleasant stay. The location is excellent because you can walk to restaurants and bakeries, and there is a good-sized ABC grocery store too. I would absolutely stay here again.
