Located on the edge of the Blue Lagoon on the Coconut Coast.
Besides looking down onto the Blue Lagoon from our first and second floor Lanai's (decks) you can also see Ocean, Mountain, Volcano, and Island views from our other Lanai's and verandahs. As well you can sometimes see whales leaping out of the ocean on the far side of the lagoon and see them spouting like ocean geysers. Lagoon and Ocean views are seen from most private rooms and dorms. You can also see the local fishing fleet pass in front of the BeachHouse
Only a small grassy play or relax area sets us apart from the Blue Lagoon directly in back, and to the left a free neighborhood swimming pool laps on the edge of the Blue Lagoon, while a white sandy swimming beach is just a 100 yards to our right, over a little sugar cane train railroad bridge, this beach is set behind the Kapa'a Library. The swimming pool is a 1 minute walk north, while the sandy beach is less than 2 minutes walk south from the Kapa'a Kauai BeachHouse.

Comments: When trying to reserve a bed, no one responded to my emails & I was led down a path of about 4 other phone numbers. (I kept trying because there are only two hostels in the area.) When I finally got through to someone named M***, who sounded pretty friendly, I asked if there was a female only dorm, I was told yes, come on in they had plenty of room. I left him my full name-as if I was reserving a bunk. When I got there, I was pretty disappointed. There is little to no parking-4 spots only-and there is no front desk of any kind. I walked up the back deck, through a dark, unlit hallway to the 'front' and found two incoherent people sitting under a marker board that listed their rates. They yelled for the manager and when the manager- also named 'M***', came out, he said they had co-ed ONLY & no recollection of me leaving my name. Huh???? As he was showing me what he DID have, he could tell I wasn't impressed & said to me, "This is your typical hostel set up". R-e-a-l-l-y??? Besides NO organization, the place was just plain filthy & dusty. Listen, I am in no way a 'pampered princess', and know that for an average $25 per night, room service is not included! But there is a difference between "a bit messy" and "just plain gross". I don't expect things to be perfect, but for pete's sake, a little elbow grease, a broom, mop & water shouldn't be that hard to manipulate! I would not have been able to sleep if I had stayed anyhow, for wondering what king of bugs live in the bowed down, very old mattresses, dusty-dank curtains, dark hallways, dirty floors & can only imagine what the showers & bathrooms were like. I would have had serious doubts about the cleanliness of the sheets too.......

Comments: I would not recommend staying at this hostel. I did not feel safe, as there are no doors, no locks (the best way to describe it is a tree house!) and the manager behaved in unprofessional ways. There was an incident where the cops were called and were in our dorm room on our last night, to evict some people. Overall this was the worst hostel experience i have had to date.
