    “Descent Hotel” - quote from a review someone posted :) it is however a most apt description - are electrical: hot water issues, AC issues, , noise etc really issues that the average reviewer overlooks just because they are in Kauai? Are people here reviewing the quality of the Hotel or the Beauty of the island of Kauai? There is such a disparity in reviews that I can’t help but to wonder if people get confused as to the purpose of this site! If you stayed here and your room had a peeling bathtub Er al, how could any reviewer fail to mention that in their review? We were in 2 different rooms each with peeling bathtubs and so I know it is a problem and yet very few people mention it. Would not Amy traveller be amazed and appalled to find themselves in a room with a peeling bathtub from a bygone era? Why don’t more reviewers honestly critique the quality of this Hotel both good and bad and instead make inane comments for a review of a Hotel such as “ties in the sand”? Please, be more thoughtful and professional in your reviews so that we can all benefit and not be surprised when we come across hotels such as this one that really need to be upgraded or at least more honestly reviewed! Thanks!

    When we were there, March 2018, it was too rough to fish off the beach. We fished on South Kauai with a guide and caught some small fish.
