This listing is at the Kauai Beach Resort and is an individually owned unit. Which means, it DOES offer the benefits of the beautiful grounds of a resort, i.e. restaurants, bougie landscaping, pools and hot tubs, and beach access. And, it DOES NOT offer the typical hotel / resort accommodations i.e. room cleanings, which isn’t great when you’re tracking sand in from the beach daily, and you have to take your own trash out. Also the resort will not provide you with towels if you’re by the pools (though the host does provide 4 in the room, if you’re really active, as I am, you run through them quick), and the mattress is maybe one of the worst sleeps I’ve ever had. This one particularly hurts because after adventuring the island all day a good night’s rest really makes or breaks a vacation. Had I known, I would have preferred to book with the resort direct in hopes of a better bed and the amenities, which after inquiring I learned would have only been a few hundred dollars difference.
