Daybeds

Brunch at dukes followed by a pool and beach volleyball day at royal sonesta was a great way to spend a Sunday in kauai!! A little construction still going on rerouting us, so it was a little confusing to get around the grounds,  but no big deal. 

Beautiful 

Perfect for a last day before flying out on a red eye 

Great location close to the airport 

So glad we took advantage of this option! Great location, great pool, beautiful scenery. The service was on point and very friendly. Very very kid friendly which was key for our experience. The check in process was super easy! Couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you! 

Great Option 

We had an 10PM flight out of Kauai and had to check out of our airbnb by 10AM…. What to do with the family for the day?!?!  How about go to an awesome hotel pool, rent a couple of day beds, drink some cocktails, play on the nice hotel beach, eat dinner at Duke’s next to the hotel and then change and head to the airport when ready…. Everybody is happy and chill…

Great way to spend the day

I took my son on a mommy / son date. We had a blast. In his words “It was the best day ever.” The kids pool was very fun. He spent most of the day on the water slide. The main pool was very large and clean. My son liked the fountains in the main pool. Staff was friendly. We’ll definitely come back.

“Best Day Ever”

It was good! I would have honestly given 5 stars but we were travelling with another family and they also booked the big cabana and when we arrived they were advertising the cabanas for BOGO so that was annoying as us two families paid full price for two cabanas when we could have done BOGO. I think the ResortPass app should advertise when the BOGO is available because we felt it was not fair. 

If it was JUST our family we’d do 5 stars, it was super chill, hotel is dated but it’s undergoing Reno’s. Our server was good and she was working hard, yes they could have used more servers but then our bill would higher lol. We showered there then used our cabana curtains to close and change in there before going to the airport so it was perfect!

Right beside airport

We had to turn in our car by 10 am with a flight at 5 pm, so we decided to spend the day at La Sonesta.  We had the pool, the beach, and food and drink available to us. It was a great way to spend our day and then we took the shuttle to the airport. So much fun!

Convenient and Comfy

What a fabulous way to spend a day in Kauai - you have the best pool - excellent service and a wonderful beach .  I would definitely book these resort passes again .

Wonderful day at the Royal Sonesta

Nice and helpful staff and day bed was in a great location. 

great day 

For $75 per person you will get to borrow a beach towel.  Anyone can park in the public parking lot for free and use the beach.  I feel duped.  The resort was beautiful.  I would recommend a stay there.
