    The cost is not bad at all. This place is an apartment complex, turned into a hotel. So you definitely get a kitchen to cook in. The place was well maintained and clean. The Jacuzzi worked one night, out of 5 nights we stayed. The bathtub looked dirty, but turned out it was cracked and falling apart. The welcoming was rude but the rest of the stay was nice. There was a checklist of items in room. We were missing one of the items. A rubber bathtub mat. Hopefully they don't bill us for that. Next time, we would stay here again. Especially how close it is to walk over and watch the sunrises.

    Plantation Hale.

    Very helpful in sorting out a medical problem. Let us register early...no charge. Suites have lots of space and a decent kitchen. Big deck and available pool were great. Good size bedrooms. Even helped us print our boarding passes.

    Wonderful place to stay! Affordable, clean, quiet, beautiful grounds and friendly staff! It sits across from the beach that is gorgeous, just be careful of the cicadas flying back and forth the path. Great location next to the country mart , shops and some restaurants! Very family friendly!

    Nope. Do not stay here, UNLESS you are an adventure traveler, or don't have kids, you are REALLY tight on your budget and are tolerant of substandard living spaces. In my case, the bathroom was "gross." (I can't come up with a more diplomatic term.) As you will read in other reviews, the property's management hides under this veil: "Each unit is privately owned, so, unfortunately we have no control over the quality." So, my advice is to not stay here. Let capitalism do its ugly magic. The owners have no impetus to improve if they have consistent income. I understand "some" units have been upgraded. But, in my case, I stepped into a time warp--a San Fernando Valley bachelor pad circa 1974. But it's not just the dated furnishings that detract from Kauai's tropical setting. The space is downright gross. Chipped paint. Soiled carpet. Lumpy seating. But most concerning was the bathtub. (See: pics) The late check-in time was also a hitch in my travel plans. My confirmation said 3pm. When I approached the front desk I was told it is actually 4pm. (My psychic abilities were not functioning when I checked in.) However, my room was not ready until 4:30pm. On the plus side: The property is relatively quiet and within walking distance to a shopping center.

    Simple condon units. We had unit D5 and it was fine for what we needed and more. Located 15 minutes from the airport in Lihue. It is very convenient walking location to a large Country Market and Long's Drugs. There is beach access as well as shops and restaurants nearby. From Bobby V's Italian Pizzeria, Lava Lava Club, and Chicken in a Barrel. The ABC Market has a wide variety of got food and groceries and anything one might need in short walking distance. So location is great and doubly great for seeing the North and South sides as well. Also in the marketplace were some great local crafts shops. Our room was a one bed. We were hoping for a queen but got a double beds room. The room was tired and dated but fine for us. Everything worked, the bath sink was slow in draining but i cleaned the superficial hair and gunk real quick and it was fine. The air conditioner worked well and good water pressure. Full service kitchen, fridge, TVs in both living and bedroom, the room had its own water heater. You collect a safe key and beach towels at the front desk Pleasant front desk. Our room was never made up but we didn't need or want it to be... so we eventually just left the do not disturb sign up eventually. We easily visited the North and South sides of the island from here. Kapa'a and other eateries are 5 minute drive away. Some good places to eat is EatHealthy Cafe for vegetarians and Bobby V's for good pizza and Italian. If you want toes in the sand while you drink and eat, go to Lava Lava Club. Being on the highway side we heard music from blaring cars most nights but with air on it mostly got drowned out and tired from the day's activities so always got sleep. Even with our stompy upstairs neighbors. Would recommend for great central location on island to explore the entire island. Pleasant and acceptable. Never had a problem parking each night.

    The suite I paid for, Gross!

    This hotel has major flaws, My suite is dirty, literally there is a sign on the wall located in entrance that states"take your shoes off before entering " not takin my shoes off because the carpet is dirty, vey dirty, smelly like a dog or cat did there business on the floor, Gross ! Bathtub is dirty. It's too late on a Friday to find a better place stay. Otherwise I would have left on the spot, It's going to be difficult to sleep. Sleeping in my clothes tonight and with a mask. I give this place two stars only because the location Don't stay here. Pay more and stay at a high end hotel.

    We like the decor and ambiance. There are points that are negative, but my wife insists I only write a positive 5 star review.

    Came here for the first time with my family while visiting Kauai. We booked through Expedia.com because the rates were much lower than anything else that I researched. When we got here to check in, I noticed that you can upgrade your room AND get a 10% discount when you check in on YELP. I was so pumped lol only to find out that it only applies if you book through them and not a 3rd party like expedia.com, priceline.com, kayak.com, etc. Our assigned room was E4 and it was very spacious for my family of 4. They had little areas of the rooms that needed minor repairs, but it did the job. Unfortunately, the flash flood and tornado warning got us locked up spending majority of our vacation in our room plus the whole coronavirus scare. The TVs have basic cable and a dvd player. A lot of lighting, full size fridge and stove plus pots/pans, utensils, dish rack, and cleaning materials. Our room had a king size bed and a sofa bed, nice little patio that led out to the little courtyard with one of those lame sports like cricket or bocce lol. There are 3 different pools and 2 jacuzzis. There are probably other amenities, but we didn't get to explore too much due to the weather. The staff are very nice and helpful. They have unassigned parking stalls available. This place is located across the Sheraton Coconut Resort and the beach. And right next to the Coconut Marketplace where there are restaurants, bar, and some shops are located. I would definitely come back here if we ever visited Kauai again.

    1972 called and wants their timeshare back! WHAT A DUMP!!!!! Let's just say we got duped when we booked what we thought would be a great week on the beautiful island of Kauai. How could anyone with a conscience let human beings stay in a "crap hole" like this. And this is no exaggeration! Carpet, tile & drapes from 40 years ago, a stove that you would see in a 50's movie and the so-called balcony looks out at bushes you can't see over with the busiest road on the island right behind it...noise all day & night long. You can feel every spring in the mattresses on both beds and the pullout couch is like sleeping on the floor. All I can say is RUN! Faraway. Don't look back & don't pass go! Living on the streets is better than this awful place. Please continue your search. Mahalo!

    BUGS! This place is absolutely disgusting. Filthy! Has not been cleaned in years. Literally mold dripping from the ceiling on the walls in the bathroom. Horrible smell. I got a refund and the management was not even surprised. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

    We stayed at Plantation Hale Suites for the week as part of a vacation package we have. We arrived a little early before 3pm to see if we could check in but our room wasn't ready yet and told to come back at 3pm so we went to Long's down the street and when we got back our room was available. The front desk staff was friendly. We were on the 2nd floor in building K with a room that faced the ocean...great!! The condo was clean inspecting it as we entered. There was a kitchen area to the left with a living space with a table straight ahead. The table could fit four people and since it was just the two of us, there was plenty of space. The bathroom was to the right along with the bedroom. There were two beds...felt like fulls..maybe small queens. There is also a nice wide balcony area with two chairs. We couldn't get the cable in the living room to work but no biggie. There are a few things that could be updated but overall, we had a great stay. We just wished they had a broom in the room as with going to the beach, you get sand in your shoes but we managed. There is also a laundry room on the first floor of this building (I believe each building had their own laundry room). We didn't use the pools but there were 3 on the property. There was plenty of parking space near each building - we never had any issues parking. Overall great stay and would consider staying here again. I loved its convenience between the north shore and south/west shore areas. Traffic can get heavy in the area but it's nothing we aren't use to living near the Dallas, TX area.

Nice location next to Lydgate Beach park and an amazing playground area if you have little ones. Tiki Bar is pretty meh food wise, Garden Grill has a good breakfast though. Rooms are pretty spotty. First one we got was very run down but we switched to a slightly more modern one that was better. Specifically need to shout out to their employee Curt - dude is by far the best hotel employee I've ever encountered. He was amazing, helping us with our bags, then helping again to switch rooms, entertaining my 2.5 year old, giving him multiple presents for no reason and allowing him to feed the fish. He was so kind and funny and just the best. Without him, our experience would have been much less memorable.

We were locked out of our room (cottage 3121) for forty five minutes yesterday, because the battery to the outside door lock died. Then, later that evening, we had to call maintenance again because the inside lock is broken. 4/30/26: we decided the price was not worth this crap hole. When we went to check out and cancel our week reservation, they didn't even try to remedy any situation. We are Diamond Hilton member's and there are pretty much zero perks for us loyal customers. Still had to pay $25 a day for parking! Like....come on. Pro: bed was comfy We ended up booking a airbnb instead. So we'll be paying a little more for our trip, but its worth it. I would seriously avoid this property if you can. But if you are on a budget, it might be okay. Make sure to look at all of the reviews!!!!

    Everything about this hotel was great except for the parking…read more The lot is very small and if you come back after 7pm, you probably won't find a parking spot. The valet is free though. They just encourage you to tip the valet every time. The rooms were spacious and clean. The lanai (balcony) was great also. We stayed on the 2nd floor and my kids would sit and eat outside thanks to the amazing Kauai weather. I like the filtered water dispenser machines throughout the property. We didn't have to buy water because we re-used the water bottles they gave us. There's a restaurant on the property that we did not get to try. The hotel is located on the beach also. Too bad the waves were too rough so we did not go in the water there. There are 2 pools and 1 hot tub. You can also rent free bikes to bike around the property. The front desk person said there's a bike trail we can bike for a few miles. This hotel is only about 10 min from Lihue Airport also.

    Overall: 9/10…read more PARKING: The lot is small, but they have complimentary valet, so it's no issue. They even have a free text message program where you just click on the link to retrieve your car, they will get it for you while you are walking to the valet circle. Reduces time and inefficiency, great perk!! HOTEL: It is not a part of a larger hotel chain or corporation. The buildings are old and retrofitted, but honestly I am picky with hotels, and this place is great. It is on the beach, maybe not a good idea to go for a swim on that shoreline, but just being so close to the ocean is wonderful. Each room has a quiet AC unit, and a ceiling fan. They offer Kauai Coffee K-Cups to use in the Keurig in your room. Includes disposable hot cups, little creamer cups, and sugars. All rooms have mini fridges. They have a handful of kitchenette rooms if you needed a sink, bigger fridge, and microwave. All rooms have a lanai, the 1st floors have a lanai that leads directly to the lawn or pool area outside your building. There are 2 pools, 1 hot tub, and fire pit, lawn games, and beach cruiser bikes you can borrow (for free!!) to cruise around by the hotel. There are free filtered water stations around the property. There is even a free photo booth in the corner of the lobby, and it prints out 2 strips of 3 photos, so retro! The Lava Lava Restaurant is on site, and a good option. NEARBY: The hotel is also located next to Coconut Marketplace which includes a large general store (it's the same company as ABC stores) but they also have prepared foods, coffee bar, and smoothie bar. There are also restaurants over there to choose from, and small shops to browse. Just past that shopping center, there is also a Long's Drugs (aka: CVS) if you want to go for a long stroll.

We arrived early in the day so we're not able to get into our room but the staff held our luggage and recommended a few places to eat and watch football. Once able to get into our room which was on the 3rd floor looking over the pool area but far enough away from the noise. The room was quite large with a great kitchen area with granite counter tops and nice appliances. Also a large bathroom with tub and separate shower area as well as two toilets. It was a one bedroom. There was a small lanai off the bedroom and you could open the sliding door from the living room. There was also a washer/dryer in the room. The view from the room looked over the whole pool area which has a winding pool that you can walk around over to the main pool. They also had gas grills to use and many people did. One note is if you open the sliding door in the living room area and don't match up the line in the top of the doors, the air conditioning doesn't go on. We thought the air conditioning quit. After calling the front office someone came within an hour. Told us about the line. We also had an issue with the washer and after a call to the front desk a maintenance person was there within an hour. The staff we interacted with were very friendly and very helpful. Giving us recommendations for a place for fresh fish to grill. There is also a small restaurant which we tried a few nights for some drinks and appetizers. The views of the ocean are great. There are also chairs to sit on the beach area and enjoy the water. The beach is not large but very clean and nice to relax at. There is a shopping center across the street to buy things for the condo. We will stay here again next time in the area.

    I wish I could give zero stars…read more Our stay started off on the wrong foot, and unfortunately, it set the tone for the rest of our trip. We checked in, and right away, the room wasn't impressive. There was a strange scent lingering in the air--like something was being covered up with multiple plug-ins. Everything felt dated: the furniture, the decor. The kitchen looked decent with updated appliances, but that was about it. We tried to brush it off and went to the pool (which looked much smaller in person than in the photos), then came back to the room. That's when the real nightmare began. My youngest daughter went to take a shower in one of the bathrooms. Moments later, I hear screaming. I run in and see sewage--yes, actual dark, smelly sewage--coming up from the shower drain. My daughter is crying, I'm shaking, and the stench is overwhelming. We immediately called the front desk, and someone was sent to "unblock" it. I begged the manager to move us to another room due to the smell and potential health hazard, and all he said was: "There are no rooms. You can check out, or stay and we'll send housekeeping." Excuse me? This isn't a spilled drink--they're talking about cleaning up sewage with a mop? I asked if they planned to professionally decontaminate the area, and the answer was no. Just their regular housekeeper. It wasn't until I was clearly desperate--three kids, nighttime, a trip we booked months ago--that they finally offered to send us to their sister hotel for one night. But we'd have to pack up, drive there, then return the next day--basically waste precious time and energy. This was a special occasion trip. We paid extra for an ocean view, and it was supposed to be an anniversary celebration. And to make things worse, nobody seemed to care. The manager responded with a condescending tone like I was overreacting. He actually said, "These things happen once in a blue moon." Okay--then have a plan for when they do! It honestly felt like he thought he was doing me a favor by offering a one-night refund or a small room at a different hotel. No real apology. No accountability. Just a lot of shrugging and gaslighting. We ended up staying, but were only refunded for one night. The second bathroom was out of commission (we didn't feel safe using it), so our whole family had to share one shower for the rest of the trip. The awful smell never fully left the room. Also--the in-unit washer and dryer? The washer smelled horrible, was full of sand, and looked like it had mold in the plastic lining. Just gross. This whole experience left a horrible taste in our mouths. I honestly don't understand how this place is being managed. If the rooms are owned by individuals and managed by this hotel group, do the owners even know how badly things are being handled? What was supposed to be a beautiful anniversary trip with our kids turned into one of the worst travel experiences we've ever had. Stay far, far away from this place!!!
