Everything was okay but could’ve been better with just simple communications posted in the room (WiFi password was different than the system asked for). Check-in did take way longer than expected. Seems like that could be a little more customer on vacation friendly. I now have to call them to finalize payment bc the two cards I gave at check-in couldn’t be used though the one charge went through perfectly fine.

The manager during our stay was rude when we tried to discuss the charges on our room. We were told one thing on check-in then charged something else. Wanted to argue the point and be confrontational rather than help figure out why it occurred and how they could better the process so that it does not happen again. Unwilling to take any ownership for desk staff error.

Beyond terrible customer service. No follow up from staff or hotel manager following noise complaint, incorrect food billing and promise of resort refunds due to issues with broken toilet, noise from maintenance which guests were not informed of. The list goes on. Awful hotel, mainly due to the complete lack of customer service and trust. They also don’t adhere to their own eco friendly policies.

We have been coming to Kauai for 16 years and stayed at Poipu. This visit we decided to try the Royal Sonesta as the pool looked amazing. The hotel pool and amenities are shared with Marriott Vacation Club and so there are different lobbies and you have to take a short walk from the main area to an escalator and from there to the lobby. The rooms are not too far from the lobby depending on which tower you stay in. The pool is truly the best with 5 jacuzzis and its close proximity to the beach. Duke’s restaurant is right next door which is another convenience. The views are amazing. The beach color is murky not the nice blue color you see on the South side. You couldn’t see the sand below you which made our daughter a little uneasy. Not a fault of the hotel. Each side of the island offer different water clarity with the north and south sides being the most clear blue. The rooms are spacious and clean!
