4 Star Beach Front Luxury Resort, Lanai Ocean View, 1 minute walk to the beach
Lihue, Hawaii, United States
The ResortbrOutrigger Kauai Beach Resort (KBR) is a gem among Kauai hotels and resorts. It has class, style and genuine value alongside the many more expensive choices available on Kauai. KBR is a former Hilton resort renovated and converted into a 4 Star condo/hotel resort. Outrigger Hotels and Resorts recently purchased majority ownership in KBR and manages the resort for the KBR homeowner’s association. They are in the process of continuing renovations, repairs and updates to the property with funds provided by the members of the homeowner’s association.brbrThere are many resorts, hotels and condominiums on Kauai. Unlike most others, that overlook other resorts, hotels and condominiums, Outrigger Kauai Beach Resort overlooks the natural beauty of Hawaii.brbrThe resort is surrounded on the north by a beautifully kept public golf course, and on the south by Nukoli'i Beach Park consisting of only native Hawaiian vegetation (this is the view from the room). To the west are the beginning ranges of the mountains that make up most of Kauai. On the east is the majesty of the Pacific Ocean which is visible from the room’s lanai (See Photos).brbrThe resort’s central location on Kauai’s Coconut Coast fronting on Nukoli’i Beach, a 3-mile long white sand beach, makes it the perfect starting point for day trips and excursions to Kauai’s majestic geographical wonders and a multitude of activities unique to Kauai. It is halfway between Hanalei town and Hanalei Bay on the north shore and Poipu on the south and on the west Waimea Canyon and Port Allen (take off point for Na Pali cruises). The resort is only 3 miles from Kapaa on the north and 3 miles from Lihue on the south, the two biggest towns on Kauai. They both have an abundance of shopping, restaurants and activities.brbrThe resort’s rooms surround a central garden which contains four pools, two hot tubs, waterfalls, a 75 ft water slide and a sand bottom pool surrounded with sand and beach lounges. Overlooking the sand bottom pool and ocean is the Driftwood Bar & Grill. Relax in the sun on the beach lounges, or cool down with a shaved ice, a Hawaiian tradition from Ko Shave Ice and Treats. All this is just a 30 second stroll to the beach and 30 seconds to your room. There is a rock garden island with waterfalls that meet in a lava cavern. In addition, there are two hot-tubs/jacuzzies.brbrThe resort has three onsite restaurants plus Ko-Shave Ice and Treats and a Starbucks:br• Naupaka Terrace, the hotel's signature restaurant, with outdoor seating and ocean viewbr• Shutters Lounge, with nightly live music, has indoor and outdoor seating with fire pitbr• Driftwood Bar and Grill, located in the pool area with ocean viewbrbrCheck-in time is 3:00 PM / Check-out time is 11:00 AM. If you have an early arrival or late flight, let me know well in advance and I can sometimes arrange for earlier check-ins and later check-outs. Last minutes requests are difficult to honor because cleanings are scheduled well in advance.brbrThe resort charges their guests a resort fee of $64 per day, which includes the parking fee. The resort charges me when I stay and my guests $40 for parking, if you have a car, but you do not have to pay the rest of the resort fee, that’s a $24 per day savings. brbrThe resort has two restrictions; no-smoking except in designated areas and cooking is not allowed in the rooms. However, they do provide access to a microwave in the lobby building, so I provide plates, bowls and utensils for any restaurant leftovers and any cold food or food you might prepare in the resort’s microwave.brbrThe only fee we charge is a $150 cleaning fee which is a part of VRBO’s “All fees included” payment, but we pay the resort’s $100 check-in fee.brbrThe Hawaii tax on visitor accommodations is 17.962% which is also billed with your VRBO payment.brbrOur Hawaii Tax number is TA-064-042-8544-01brbrThe RoombrThe room overlooks Nukoli'i Beach Park and has a beautiful ocean view from the 100 square foot lanai (See Photos). The room is in one of the few areas on the resort where you can hear the ocean 24 hours a day without the artificial pool noise in the garden area. You have a tranquil, romantic, direct view from the lanai of the ocean with no distractions. Just the sun, the waves and natural vegetation of Hawaii. The air-conditioned room has a comfortable king bed, a power recliner sofa, a Keurig duo coffee maker (K-cups & carafe), large mini-fridge with freezer, free Wi-Fi and a large smart TV. The bathroom includes a tub with fixed and handheld shower heads. It is appointed with travertine tile and marble countertop. The room has been renovated, carpeted and painted. The room is on the ground floor of building three, so No Stairs or Elevators to slow your 30 second walk to the beach or pools. We have a second room next door (Vrbo# 1811141) if you have a party of more than three. Book early if you want both rooms for your group.brbrSo you don’t have to waste precious vacation time and money finding beach gear, I have provided:br• A wheeled cooler and smaller cooler with shoulder strapbr• Two backpack folding beach chairs and umbrellasbr• Two sets of snorkel equipment and two boogie boardsbr• Four beach towels and beach mats.brbrThe BeachbrThe resort fronts on Nukoli’i Beach, three miles of pristine open white sand beach with no other resorts to disturb your view. While the beach is scenic, it is not considered a swimmable beach as it has quite a bit of coral and lava. However, the coral and lava make for some beautiful breakers. The surf can also be pretty challenging for most. It does have plenty of soft sand for wading; however, it's best to go to one of Kauai's famous beaches for swimming. Lydgate Beach, just north of the golf course, is the closest to the resort and has great facilities for picnicking, a children’s playground and protected beach areas for swimming. You can walk the beach to Lydgate State Park and Beach from the resort, about 2 ½ miles, or drive, about 3 miles. You will also want to visit other popular Kauai beaches which include Poipu Beach, Anini Beach, Kalapaki Beach, Shipwrecks Beach (great hiking trail), Waioli Beach Park on Hanalei Bay and many more.brbrMahalo for considering my little piece of paradise for your visit to Kauai
