Frankly, this resort is not worth the money. The amenities are comparable to other, cheaper resorts. If you’re traveling in Kauai, spend your energy exploring the natural beauty of the island, and pursue material luxury elsewhere!
The staff were delightful, they generally went above and beyond.
Everything felt overpriced for what it was. I’d have been satisfied if the food or cocktails were good, but in general everything was comparable to other chain resorts (the cocktails by the pool), to bad (the food at Tidepools was oversalted).
The exception to this rule is their bar: Stevenson’s Library. The food, drinks, and staff were all deserving of the 5-star label!
