Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay, HI
The lobby is beautiful. The room shower was not. It was clean. Had a musky smell. And popcorn ceiling. The stuff was friendly but slow. I would not choose to stay there again.

OUTRIGGER Kauaʻi Beach Resort & Spa
The room was beautiful. The bed was comfortable. The view from my room was of the little pond. My kid slept it. The kids left the pool and the waterslide and it’s nice to be able to just walk right out onto the beach. I would definitely choose to go here again. The breakfast was also delicious.
