The food was also very good and they offer entertainment in the dining area nightly. We loved our room, air conditioned and quiet. We were a few steps away from the pool area which was also great. Our room was very clean and the bathroom was spacious and could hold all my beauty supplies without a problem. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kauai. It was also very family friendly! Read less

My review is of the Ilima Terrace for Thanksgiving. We were terribly disappointed in the experience of dining there for thanksgiving. We ate there years ago for Thanksgiving and it was a lovely experience. It was always pricey but this time they charge you $105.00 per person and the dining room was crowded like sardines. Food was mediocre at best.… Read more
My review is of the Ilima Terrace for Thanksgiving. We were terribly disappointed in the experience of dining there for thanksgiving. We ate there years ago for Thanksgiving and it was a lovely experience. It was always pricey but this time they charge you $105.00 per person and the dining room was crowded like sardines. Food was mediocre at best. The chairs that we had were uncomfortable to sit in for very long. They had moved more furniture in for Thanksgiving and it was like whatever they had available for packing em in. Service was fine for a buffet. We wont be doing that again. They turned it into a money grab. So disappointed Read less

Very pleasant stay. The property is awesome, very well located right on Shipwreck beach and just minutes away from Poipu beach. The pool area is very relaxing. The salt water lagoon is unique and amazing.
