Guests cherish Marriott's Kauai Lagoons - Kalanipu'u in Lihue's Kalapaki area for its quiet convenience, feeling like a lush sanctuary despite being minutes from the airport. The vibe is upscale yet relaxed, centered on massive villas where sliding glass walls vanish to merge the living area with the breeze-swept lanai. While the lack of on-site dining is a noted quirk, the responsive staff and shuttle to the beach bridge the gap. Insider tip: Walk the golf course path to Ninini Point Lighthouse for a private sunrise.
We loved this resort. Being so close to the airport and not being disturbed by the jet planes was a huge plus. The pool/hot tub area was so nice and never felt crowded (March-Spring Break time). The numerous activities they host each day were fun for the whole family (4 yrs old to 64 yrs old). Towel service was easy and the kitchen was stocked with the cooking supplies we needed.
