We had an excellent time on Kauai in Molly's place at the Aqua Kauai Beach Resort. We found the location to be perfect, close to the airport in Lihue but also centrally located in the middle for easier commuting to attractions both on the north side or going south.
The place has the feel of an all-inclusive resort since you're staying in a hotel room on a resort. It has several nice pools including waterfalls and even a slide. You can order drinks/food while sitting poolside and the staff were always friendly. The room was not cleaned daily since it is owned privately but you can get fresh beach towels daily at the pool hut or front desk. There is a small mini fridge in the room which was handy as well. Lastly, the hotel is beach front but no swimming in the ocean (not recommended). Would stay here again!
