4 Star Beach Front Hotel Resort, Lanai Ocean View, one minute walk to the beach | Resort in Lihue
Resort in Hanamaulu, Lihue
The Resort
Outrigger 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.
There 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.
The 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).
The 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.
The 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.
The resort has three onsite restaurants plus Ko-Shave Ice and Treats and a Starbucks:
• Naupaka Terrace, the hotel's signature restaurant, with outdoor seating and ocean view
• Shutters Lounge, with nightly live music, has indoor and outdoor seating with fire pit
• Driftwood Bar and Grill, located in the pool area with ocean view
Check-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.
The 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.
The 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.
The 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.
The Hawaii tax on visitor accommodations is 17.962% which is also billed with your VRBO payment.
Our Hawaii Tax number is TA-064-042-8544-01
The Room
The 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.
So you don’t have to waste precious vacation time and money finding beach gear, I have provided:
• A wheeled cooler and smaller cooler with shoulder strap
• Two backpack folding beach chairs and umbrellas
• Two sets of snorkel equipment and two boogie boards
• Four beach towels and beach mats.
The Beach
The 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.
