Graph: Upcoming 20 Days of Kapaa Hotel Rates

Rates shown are nightly rates before taxes and do not necessarily reflect all Kapaa, HI discounts available. The chart reflects the cheapest Kapaa hotel for each day and each star rating category.

Kapaa is an anglicized version of the Hawaiian word for solid, kapa'a. It's a fitting name for a community that seems to go from strength to strength. Sugar cane and pineapple plantations sustained Kapaa in its earliest years before tourism took over as the economic driver in the 1960s.

As a tourist town, Kapaa has all the amenities travelers expect like great hotels, quality restaurants, and other tourist attractions. Discover what makes this community so special on your next Hawaiian vacation.

When should you visit Kapaa, HI?

Stable temperatures all year round mean visitors to Kapaa always enjoy the perfect weather for swimming, suntanning, and other outdoor activities. Summer daytime temperatures usually sit in the mid-80s, and winter isn't much cooler with typical highs in the mid-70s.

Before you plan your winter getaway, though, note that wet weather can spoil your plans. Hawaii's wet season runs from late November through March. Kauai typically receives more rain than the other islands, and its east coast, where Kapaa sits, is one of the wettest parts. All that winter rain makes the area so beautiful and green, but it can put a damper on travel plans, even though storms usually pass quickly. It might be worth braving the showers if you're an animal lover, though, as migrating humpback whales frequent local waters in the winter.

Summer weather is idyllic, but the area gets overcrowded with travelers making the most of the lengthy school vacation. Hotels raise their prices to meet the demand, so be prepared to pay much higher prices for a summer getaway. If you're flexible with your travel dates, you'll pay far less and still enjoy abundant sunshine in April, May, or throughout fall.

Below is a chart of the current pricing seasonality of hotels and motels in Kapaa, HI:

Does Kapaa have any luxury hotel options?

4 Star Average Prices: £188.42

When you want to indulge yourself on vacation, Kapaa has you covered. Most of its accommodation options are high-end, but the following establishments are some of the best in town.

Kauai Coast Resort at the Beachboy in Kapaa offers spacious suites that feel like homes away from home. All studio, one-, and two-bedroom condos have kitchens or kitchenettes and separate living, dining, and sleeping quarters. Most suites also have washers and dryers. Of course, most of us aren't lucky enough to have a home on the edge of the ocean, with an outdoor hot tub, spa therapists on hand, or adults' and children's pools. Grilling steaks outdoors makes a welcome change from laboring over a hot stove. Alternatively, let the resort staff serve you at the on-site restaurant, Hukilau Lanai.

There are no studio apartments at Lae Nani Resort Kauai by Outrigger. Its condos are enormous, with either one or two bedrooms separate from the living area and complete kitchens with full-sized appliances and all the equipment you to need to prepare a gourmet meal. If you don't want to do the dishes, you're just a short walk from a range of local restaurants. Lae Nani Resort's oceanfront location is ideal for beach lovers. The hotel also has its own recreational facilities, including a heated swimming pool, an illuminated tennis court, and a beautiful ocean pool with a stone breakwater.

What budget-friendly hotels are near Kapaa, Hawaii?

3 Star Average Prices: £127.05

As with many of Hawaii's tourist hotspots, Kapaa isn't exactly a budget-friendly destination. However, the following hotels are a little easier on the wallet than most of the town's offerings.

Kauai Kailani Resort, formerly Castle Kauai, is a modest resort delivering everything guests really want. The oceanfront location is perfect for beach bunnies, and there are two heated pools for swimming fun when the ocean is too cold. All the recently renovated condos feature stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops in the kitchens, cable TV, and Wi-Fi access. However, with Kapaa turning on such wonderful weather, it's a shame to spend too much time indoors. Why not take your evening meals outdoors and make use of Kauai Kailani Resort's barbeque grills?

The ISO, formerly Castle Mokihana, is another affordable waterfront hotel. It claims to be the Coconut Coast's best value resort, and with features like an oceanfront pool, shuffleboard, and the Bull Shed Restaurant on-site, it's hard to argue. Families may find the accommodation isn't as large as they like, but the studio and one-bedroom condos are perfect for couples and solo travelers. The ISO encourages you to unplug during your stay. The rooms don't have TVs, and Wi-Fi is only available in the lobby. However, there's something liberating about disconnecting from technology and soaking up this beautiful location.

What are the best discounts in Kapaa, HI?

The most well-known accommodation providers in the country typically offer selected guests great discounts. Choose these establishments, rather than boutique hotels in Kapaa, to save on the regular room rates.

Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay treats travel agents, AAA and AARP members, seniors, government and military personnel, and members of large traveling groups to special rates. Discounts apply to the standard rooms, suites, and spacious two-bedroom cottages. You'll love the Hilton Garden Inn's oceanfront location. Its protected swimming lagoon is perfect for children who are nervous about waves. Alternatively, they can also swim in the hotel's pool. There's a fitness center for more intense workouts and a whirlpool for soothing those tired muscles. Reward your hard work with a meal and drinks at the hotel's Garden Grille restaurant and bar.

Courtyard Kaua'i at Coconut Beach Kapaa extends discounts to AAA and CAA auto club members, seniors 62+, and government and military personnel. This is another elegant oceanfront property with chic rooms with flat-screen TVs showing premium cable channels, writing desks, combination shower/tubs, and views of either the hotel's gardens or the Pacific Ocean. Relaxing here is easy, with a bar steps from its outdoor pool, hammocks, a whirlpool tub, and the Pua Day Spa on-site. You're close to local restaurants, but the on-site Voyager Lanai Dining and Makai lounge is perfect for those nights you feel like staying in.

Where can you find the best value in Kapaa?

When accommodation in Kapaa is typically high-priced, visitors want to know they're getting value. The excellent facilities and relatively affordable prices encourage guests to return to these quality hotels year after year.

Aston Islander on the Beach in Kapaa might be a beachfront resort, but it charges less than most in the local area because it's much smaller. Most guests will find the six acres of tropical gardens on the grounds more than enough to put them in vacation mode. The Aston Island on the Beach also has everything you want from a resort, including an outdoor pool with a nearby bar and cabanas. The small resort fee covers rental bikes, movies, PlayStation 3 games, Wi-Fi, your choice of mango lemonade or Imua coffee, and the airport shuttle.

Recent renovations have made Plantation Hale Suites an even better accommodation option. It's relatively affordable despite being close to family-friendly beaches. If you prefer pools, this compact resort has three. There are also two hot tubs and shuffleboard. Plantation Hale Suites' central Kapaa location puts you close to local restaurants, but suites also have full kitchens, and there are grills downstairs so you can save money by eating in. In-room wired and wireless internet, flat-screen TVs, and Blu-Ray DVD players provide several entertainment options.

What kind of fun activities can you find in Kapaa, HI?

Kapaa's many resorts have so many great amenities that many visitors spend their entire vacations enjoying them. But Kapaa has much more waiting for you beyond your hotel's gates.

Make sure your camera or smartphone is charged before hitting the Kauai Path, a scenic paved trail stretching 7 miles from Kapaa to Anahola. It's an easy walk, without any steep hills, so it's a fun way for visitors of all ages and abilities to admire the coast. Leashed dogs and bike riders are welcome. If you didn't bring your own two-wheeler, you can rent one from one of the many local bike rental stores. While the Kauai Path is beautiful at any time, it's most spectacular at sunset. The Sleeping Giant and Kuilau Ridge Trails are two more tracks worth exploring.

Expand your horizons at Kauai's Hindu Monastery, which is open to visitors between 9 a.m. and noon daily. The grounds are immaculately kept, with waterfalls and gardens. Even people who aren't religious say they feel a calm, spiritual energy here. As it's an operational monastery, modesty is important. You'll receive a sarong to cover up, but you should still dress conservatively, with long pants or a dress instead of shorts or short skirts.

Discover more about local culture and customs at Smiths Tropical Paradise. Take a riverboat cruise out to the fern grotto, then meet the peacocks, ducks, and other birds in the gardens. At night the venue hosts luaus and cultural displays.

Kapaa is the kind of place where you can keep busy or enjoy a more leisurely style of vacation. No matter how you like to travel, this Hawaiian haven has what you're looking for.​
