This hotel has the biggest pool on the island and by far the best for family of kids. Their pool is near the beach and has calmer tides for kids to play in. FYI, there are no lifeguards on site at the beach. The hotel is also located near nearby shops and restaurants. There are more local eatery spots that offer authentic island food and not at the hotel price. Rooms are generally clean and most staff members showed enthusiasm while engaging with customers. Breakfast at the hotel was okay. The balcony is large enough and simple for two guest. We had the ocean and hotel pool view which was perfect. If you’re looking for just the grand view, the Grand Hyatt Resort in Poipu would be the best bet, but if you’re looking for a solid family time with local flavor then I recommend the Royal Sonesta.

This hotel and island as a whole is a great change of pace from Oahu. Food was really good, great spot for the beach and clean all the way around. Shuttle service was a nice break included in the fees along with the water. I would stay at this hotel again.

We had an absolutely fabulous week! The staff here were really terrific. We had a couple of unusual events where we needed assistance and they went above and beyond!! We ate at all the restaurants, all good! Richard and Tyrone at the outside bar were terrific and fun as well as Jen at Dukes! The shuttle was very helpful. Lots of excursions around to do and then return to the resort and pool and beach to relax! A+

We booked an ocean view room and it did not disappoint. Waking up to that view was one of the perks. Loved that the airport was close, but you will hear airplanes overhead occasionally. If you’re in your room, the sound will be faint. There were a lot of dining options and it was also easy to get a shuttle to and from the airport, even when I picked up and dropped off our rental car. It’s also very kids and family friendly.

We went here on a family vacation and it was amazing. The beach is great! Smaller waves and excellent sand, with warm water! The pool was also great with warm water and the hot tubs actually worked! Not something you always see in tropical climates. Super close to the airport with a free shuttle, and no airplane noise at all. Walkable to many restaurants and shops. Highly recommended!

We stayed 7 nights at The Royal Sonesta in the one bedroom ocean view suite. It was incredible! The room was huge and had such great views of the beach. The desk staff was friendly and the service staff kept the rooms very clean. I highly recommend the Royal Sonesta!
