This Resort doesn't pretend to be something it is not. If you're looking for luxury, you'll be a bit disappointed. But if you're looking for an "old school" beach front resort with everything you need for a great vacation, you cannot beat the Lani Kai. This family owned resort has been here since the 70's. Like the rest of the island, it suffered a direct hit from IAN in 2022 but they have bounced back. Updated rooms, all beach facing with balonies, several restaurants to choose from, chair and umbrella rental and a super staff that will do everything possible to please their guests. The owner works the beach front bar! Gracie's Italian Bistro was a total surprise! Great Food and exceptional service from Christopher and Ann Marie, We had breakfast and lunch at the resort several times during our stay. The only disappointment was probably the pool. Its tucked away from the beach at street level and not at all welcoming. But not too worry, if you're looking for a pool scene, check out the Lighthouse and Tiki Bar only a short walk from the resort. There is a nice little gift shop and also little outside vendors that have spaces on the ground floor. Our room was large and had a little kitchenette. The bed was comfortable. We loved the location and will come back in the future!

Horrible pillows!!! I think they were purchased at the Dollar store, flat and about 7 inches big!!! The front desk person was mad at me because I booked through a 3rd party, so checking in was not fun, you can’t control the ac in the room, very warm on a 60 degree day

Staff was great! Location and amenities were excellent. Food was also very, very good. The small issues we had seemed to stem from hurrying to reopen. Some fixtures were not great, trying to get restock of room supplies was difficult, one of 2 elevators out of order. All small things considering all the good things, but might be riding on their rep a little.

This was our first time staying at the Lani Kai. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Property is a stunning postcard for a beach resort. Easy, friendly check in. Clean room with incredible view, nicely heated pool, and large selection of dining options to suit anyone’s taste. Took great pride in keeping outdoor beach and lounge areas clean. Parking is a little limited but we had no problem finding a spot. (Additional parking across the street). A very safe area and property. Really enjoyed our stay. My 2 cents….. you know. If we had pennies.😎
