Quiet budget hotel for exploring Kauai

• Centrally located on East Kauai's Royal Coconut Coast, this oceanfront budget hotel suits travelers wishing to explore the island. It's situated in the island's most populous area, with shopping, dining, and activities nearby.
• Island-style guestrooms with bright bedspreads and turquoise carpets provide lanais (patios or balconies) for fresh air and views of the hotel's pretty gardens and coconut groves.
• Set well back from the street, the hotel occupies six acres of oceanfront property on mile-long Waipouli Beach. Two pools with sundecks, one looking over the ocean and the other secluded, provide swimming and sunning options. A complimentary welcome breakfast is served at the Aldon Restaurant.
