History:
The resort was fully renovated following Hurricane Iniki in 1992 reopening in 1997. The resort has recently completed a $14 million room renovation.
The Sheraton Kauai Resort’s 394 rooms, including the 13 suites, are housed in four-story buildings with no building taller than a mature coconut tree. Grouped together in three different locations in the 20-acre resort, the room categories are identified according to the primary view, in the following buildings: Garden Wing, Ocean Wing and Beach Wing.
The new room design for the resort is the first installation of "Tropical," one of Sheraton’s five unique lifestyle guestroom packages. The room interior was designed to give guests a warm and comforting environment that connects them to their vacation destination.
All king bedded rooms in the Ocean and Beach wings feature four poster beds. King bedded rooms in the Garden Wing and all double bedded rooms have quarter canopies. The dark wood and simple clean lines of the furniture create a nice contrast to the warm and comforting yellow and cream hues of the walls, plush gold carpets and curtains.
Blue accents in the room’s décor highlight the ocean. A 32-inch LCD flat screen TV sits on a credenza, which conceals a refrigerator and coffee/tea service. Garden Wing rooms feature more modest updates to the rooms and bathrooms while still keeping the impact of the renovated look.
Shells Steak and Seafood Restaurant has a sweeping panoramic view of Poipu Beach. They offer breakfast including am expansive buffet as well as dinner with an extensive a la carte menu specializing in Prime Cut beef, fresh island fish and seafood.
