The Kauai Marriott Resort, on Kalapaki Beach, has begun a $50 million renovation, including major enhancements to its rooms, restaurants and other public areas.

The transformation of all 356 hotel guest rooms include upgrading the design to a more contemporary ambiance and the addition of flat-screen TVs and modern bathroom fixtures. This first step of the renovation is scheduled to be completed by August 31. 

Also undergoing a complete makeover is the open-air Kukui's Restaurant, which will feature more covered dining areas and a new sushi bar.

In addition, future renovation plans include upgrades to the main lobby and other public areas.

“We’re excited about all the improvements we have in store for our guests,” said Elliot Mills, general manager of Kauai Marriott Resort. “While we undergo this transformation, we are still open and ready to serve guests with the service and hospitality they expect from a Marriott Resort in Hawaii.”

As an incentive, the resort is offering a special rate for those looking to explore the island. The “Discover Kauai” rate starts at $199 per night for a garden view room and $249 per night for a pool view room, valid until December 23.
