Lani Kai Island Resort

We were looking for a quick get away to thaw our from the snow where we live. We wanted beach view and food and entertainment close. This resort offered all of that. We started with breakfast at the restaurant on the roof top, sat on the beach or our balcony all day, went to dinner in resort and then enjoyed a band and other entertainment a couple of nights. Pros - it was so easy. We only left to walk down to a liquor store to have some cheaper drinks in our room. We had everything else we needed on the property. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. They all acted like they loved their jobs and cared that you had a good time. It is an older hotel, but it is easy to tell that they keep them clean and have recently upgraded them. The sheets were nice. I would have preferred nicer towels, but they were typical hotel towels. Cons - Didn't realize we had to pay for the beach chairs. It was $16 a day for 2 chairs, so not horrible, but would have been nice to know. You don't have to use a chair or you can bring your own. It is kind of noisy, but this depends a lot on your neighbors. First night, we heard quite a fight next door, but they left the next day and we could barely hear anyone talking next door after that. In the mornings, the housekeeping carts are loud when they are above you and if someone upstairs drops something, you will know it. Hot water wasn't great, but they did have a sign that they were working on it the day we left, so this is probably better. Considering all of this, due to the ease and the friendly staff, I would absolutely stay there again.

If you go during non spring break time, you will have a great time. Our stay was wonderful. The room was more than adequate, the staff was friendly, the view was great, and you are within walking distance of everything! I can't wait to come back and help support the econony once things get operational and the island accepts us northerners back!

I enjoyed the location, everything within walking distance. Rooms are large and enjoyed the balcony. Rooms were clean, outdated, but clean. The hotel itself needs some tlc. Staff was always kind & helpful when available.

We love it there even though it can get rowdy. We like it rowdy but we had a 11 year old with us. Great service, drinks, restaurant, bars, people. Close to all things fun. Can't wait till they are recovered to return to our favorite place

We stayed at the Bay Inn at the Lani Kai, which is just across the street from the Lani Kai itself and has its own dock. While we were able to enjoy the amenities of the hotel, there were no issues with noise at night due to being at the other, quieter location. A bunch of excellent restaurants were within very short walking distance, and with the beach right across the street we never had to travel much. It's a shame they Lani Kai doesn't have their own chairs, as the umbrella/chair service is $29/day. Instead, we bought our own umbrella and chairs as the week's cost was cheaper. The room itself was pretty clean with a comfortable bed and couch -- we actually had two rooms within our room itself. Going in the off season to avoid Spring Break traffic was a good move, but I would return to enjoy more of it anytime.

Older hotel but very clean, very nice staff and just steps to the beach with great views. within walking distance to tons of shops and restaurants no need to move your car after you check in. Good food and lots of activities on the beach

Easy check in. Friendly staff. Property has lots to offer right on the beach. Cleanliness was so-so, but acceptable. Would stay there again. We stayed at the Inn across the street and would consider staying in the main hotel with an ocean view. All main hotel rooms have ocean view. The Inn is ok and has a nice patio out back.

Best time ever, weather was awesome and all the staff, food and Drinks and Entertainment was excellent, even with the hurricane coming in all everything was Excellent from check in to check out, will be back again very soon. I had a beach room balcony and no one problem. Thank you to all the staff at Lani Kai, you all work very hard and know that I really appreciate everything you do my myself and my son and his girlfriend. see you again soon.

I’ve been to beach vacations before but my week at Lani Kai was the best beach vacation I’ve ever had! When I first arrived and checked in, the front desk clerk was pretty rude so I thought, “oh no” this is not going to go well here. But, I just ignored the experience with her and enjoyed my week. Truly the whole beach experience at Lani Kai was so relaxing and fulfilling. I loved it. I will be back for sure. Loved the powdery white sand, warm ocean water, perfect temperatures, cool pool, excellent and comfortable room, music, beach games, and tons of water sport activities.
