Aloha Beach Hotel

Aloha Beach Hotel

Our brief stay on the island of Kauai was spent at the wonderful Aloha Beach Hotel, located in the town of Kapaa about five minutes from Lihue. The hotel is located next to the Kapaa Beach and the Wailua River, which is the longest freshwater river in Polynesia. The hotel is surrounded by lush mountains and within minutes of three beautiful waterfalls, Koholalele Falls, Opaekaa Falls, and Wailua Falls. The hotel boasts 216 units that can be reserved as hotel rooms or cottages.

The hotel maintains free parking for its guests. Upon check-in, the staff was very friendly and the lobby has that open air feel that is so common in Hawaii. After checking in, we proceeded to our hotel room. We decided to rent a hotel room instead of a cottage since the price was substantially cheaper and like all hotels, oceanview rooms were priced more so we decided to go with the garden view, which was just as impressive. There is a lanai for every ground level room but we could not go outside because of a steel barrier that was installed. We later found out why.

The hotel rooms come fully equipped with a refrigerator, safe, 25 inch color television, A/C, phone and wireless internet service. The hotel offers it guests many amenities to make the stay more enjoyable. There are two swimming pools as well as a Jacuzzi to relax after a dip in the pool or a swim in the ocean. If you are looking for exercise, there is a fantastic fitness room or for outdoor activities you can play volleyball, tennis, and even shuffleboard. Lydgate State Park is located directly behind the hotel which is a public beach. The state park has a protected swimming and snorkeling area that is sealed off by rocks from the rough waters of the Pacific Ocean. While we were there, a Hawaiian church was using the beach to perform baptismal services for its members. It was interesting to see a baptism performed not in a church, but in the crystal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.

When we returned to our room from swimming at the beach, we discovered why there is a steel barrier blocking us from going out on the lanai. There are chickens everywhere on the island and sometimes you have to slam on brakes to avoid running them over. Many Hawaiians believe that when Hurricane Iniki hit the island in 1992, it destroyed many chicken coops which is the reason to this day they are everywhere, including outside my hotel room. I decided to stick my hand out there and feed them peanuts. They liked it so much that when I left the door open while I was unpacking, one of the chickens slid underneath the bars and was inside my room. That was first time I ever had a farm animal in my room and then I realized why there are bars. It just added to the enjoyment of the stay.
