We stayed here for a Romantic sunny getaway right before Christmas, and the place was quiet and uncrowded. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast buffet was the best I've ever seen! There are many varieties of things to eat, in a nice, open air setting, with great service. Too bad it was almost $ apiece! The location of the hotel was perfect for us, on the south side of the island so we didn't have much of a drive to get to where we wanted, be it the beach, up to the beautiful canyon or just sightseeing. our first room was wonderfully quiet, in the back of the property, overlooking the Garden Pool. The only problem there was that you had a LONG walk from the parking area! When they advised us that they would be closing the pool for renovation, they happily offered us a Beachfront Room for no extra cost! So we got the best of both worlds! The restaurant was kind of disappointing and pricey but we found lots of others close by.

Wow, what a hotel. We stayed here for 5 days, originally booking a garden view room overlooking the garden pool. Not a bad accomodation, but the front desk offered to upgrade us to full ocean view room for $*/night. We accepted. The ocean view room is phenomenal. 180 degree panoramic view of the south sea, you can practically see Antarctica. If given the option, try to stay on the west wing of the hotel, there are no kids or pools over there but you still get the great view. On site Activities planner (I guess the concierge is different) was great, the meal coupon for a free breakfast was good too. The Gym sucked, but who cares. There is so much to do on the island I wasn't very concerned with the gym. We actually went to the Hyatt to tour one of their rooms. While the accomodations are a little bit nicer, I wouldn't pay a dime more to stay there. I would definately stay here given the opportunity again.

We just returned from Kaui. This hotel was breath taking,especially if you stay in the garden view rooms...buildings 6,7 or 4. We had a ground level, with patio. Did not hear noise above us. Wallked out to a lovely garden with sounds of waterfall, birds, and an occasional rooster crow.( yes @ 5am some days, but hey...you're in Kaui. Get up and hit the beach!) 2 outstanding restaurants, Shells & Japanese. However, the breakfast at Shells is pricey. To avoid, the hotel offers ""No Tidy,we Treat"" Place the card from the night stand each nite before bed and you will get a FREE buffet breakfast. We only had maid service 1 day, and a free buffet 3 days. On Tuesday nite, Shells offers a great Prime Rib dinner.The Japanese dinner was de-lious!! Fresh.The Point Grill however was pricey for what you got. Most of the time we searched out ""local"" dining places. Service throughout the hotel was very good. Everyone friendly. We plan on staying here next year.

We stayed at the Sheraton in early April and really enjoyed it. We started out in the partial ocean view room, but when we found a big cricket in the room they upgraded us to full ocean view for free. Ocean view rooms are much nicer, and the view is great. Room ratings based on ocean view. Not much nightlife at this hotel, or on this island in general. Everybody is pretty much in their room by 9:00pm. We didn't eat much at the hotel as we were generally out doing things. We did have their breakfast buffet each day, which was excellent, although a little pricey, at $20/person. There are also some decent restaurants right up the road in ""old-town Koloa"", not real high-end but some good local flavor. We also heard the beach house down the road was good, although we didn't make it there in the few days we had. We were on Kauai for 3 days, and then in Oahu (Waikiki beach) for 4 days. These two islands are very different. Kauai has the natural beauty and some really unbelievable views, although the waves on the beaches tend to be pretty rough for swimming. Oahu has the nightlife and always has something to do, and the beaches are a lot more ""beginner friendly"", with gentle waves and shallow water. The pools and hot-tub at the Sheraton were small but decent. They say they close at 9:00pm, although we used them until 10:00 or 11:00 and nobody bothered us. The torches at night add a special touch of the island. The tennis courts were also decent. The staff were friendly, and we booked a couple tours through the travel desk. Be careful of the Napali beach boat tour. It was beautiful but VERY rough. Bring your dramamine.
