The Spotlight on Kauai Shores Hotel

Oceanfront Vibes with an Island Beat

Modern island charm meets laid-back tropical living at Kauai Shores Hotel, an oceanfront gem in Kapaa. Set on six lush acres with two outdoor pools and its own private beach, this hotel offers a chill, beachy atmosphere without sacrificing comfort. With spacious rooms featuring bold, island-style décor and private balconies offering garden, mountain, pool, or ocean views, it's the perfect base for your Hawaiian music getaway.

You're just next door to Coconut Marketplace and only 10 minutes from central Kapaa, meaning shops, eats, and nightlife are all within easy reach. Plus, with free fast WiFi and on-site comforts like a beachfront restaurant and 24/7 reception, it's got everything concert-goers need to stay connected and relaxed.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're catching live music at a nearby venue or heading back after a beachside set, Kauai Shores Hotel makes it easy. It's just a short drive to the island's top entertainment spots, and with its quiet beachfront setting, it’s a peaceful place to recover post-show. Flexible check-in from 4:00 PM and express check-out by 11:00 AM make arrivals and departures easy to plan around your concert schedule. Late-night returns are no problem with the 24-hour front desk, and the on-site restaurant keeps the good vibes going into the evening.

Old Hawaii on the beach.

Liked: The location was perfect as we spent each day at the beach. The hotel had an old Hawaii vibe, but our beachfront room was very modern. The Lava Lava Beach Club was a fabulous addition, with live music, great drinks and wonderful food. A three minute walk to the Coconut Marketplace for shopping and an outstanding deli food market was great.
Disliked: I can't think of anything that did not meet our vacation expectations.
