Pros: CHEAP HOTEL, had everything I needed Cons: no resort-luxury - hehehehehe
Yes, it is possible to stay in Hawaii for little money, and it does not even have to be a hostel.
There is another epinion here "Kauai on a shoestring" which recommends a cabin in the Waimea Canyon. The problem with this is that the Canyon...

Pros: The most beautiful island of them all Cons: Evil blood suckin' mosquitoes!!
After watching the t.v. show "Survivor" last night, it made me think about my home away from home. The beautiful Garden Island of Kauai. Why is it called the Garden Island? Maybe, its because it is so lush and tropical, filled with hundreds of...

Pros: ISLAND PARADISE! Cons: RAINY IN PARADISE!
After spending four wonderfully sunny days in HILO, we arrived on KAUAI in the rain! The tables turned and we got our payback! A weather front from the BIG ISLAND had hit KAUAI and we spent four rainy days there! The weather on POIPU BEACH is...

Pros: Beaches, canyons, scenic mountains, dolphins, and snorkeling. Cons: Can be miserable on some parts of the island and at certain times of year.
When is the best time to travel to the island of Kauai? What should you do when you get there? Is Kauai all it's cracked up to be? Maybe I can shed some light on these questions based on my trip there.
My girlfriend and I decided...

Pros: Sunny mild weather, spectacular beaches, cliffs, canyons, and mountains; macadamia nut ice-cream following fresh fish Cons: Prices (no surprise), travel time from mainland, little nightlife or man-made attractions
During nine memorable days in January 2004, my wife and I celebrated our delayed honeymoon/fifth anniversary in splendid style on the magnificent island of Kauai. Kauai is still largely unspoiled. Tourists seeking more than natural beauty go ...

Pros: Dramatic scenery (North Shore), less crowds, less commercialized, great beaches, great hiking and camping. Cons: Virtually no night life; less supply of hotel rooms; not as many direct flights
If you imagine Hawaii to be a beautiful lush paradise, I would rank the Hawaiian islands in this order (best to worst): Kauai, Maui, Big Island of Hawaii, and Oahu (sorry, I did not visit any of the smaller islands). If you imagine Hawaii to have ...

Pros: Beautiful & lush scenery, fantastic shave ice, quiet & isolated Cons: Unprotected beaches, lots of driving, expensive meals, some tourist trappings
My wife and I decided to spend our honeymoon in Hawaii since we were looking for a romantic, tropical getaway. I hadn't been to the Islands since I was a small boy, and she had never been. While searching for the island we would visit, we agreed on...

Pros: Kauai still retains many of its natural splendor Cons: Over developed, expensive, a tropical version of Las Vegas where not much is authentic
Kauai is an island on the move. It is alive; it continues to grow, suffer, then thrive again. It certainly is the "Garden Island," the most verdant, lush Hawaiian island that television and movies often portray when a tropical jungle background is ...

Pros: TONS OF RESTAURANTS Cons: CAN BE VERY EXPENSIVE

Pros: Quite, Able to find excellent deals, Gorgeous scenic drives, great snorkeling Cons: Too wet to make good use of the convertible.
I spent 10 days on Kauai in January '03, and it was the closest to paradise that I've ever been. Perhaps it was the time of year, but the local/tourist ratio seemed very comfortable. Kauai is the only island I visited (other than the lay-over in...

Pros: Beautiful, tranquil island. Spectacular scenery. Reasonable prices for Hawaii. Cons: It might be too quiet for some.
Breathtaking beauty abounds on this magnificent island. My husband and I first visited Kauai five years ago and we returned this past February. In fact, we spent Valentine's Day soaring over the mountains and valleys of Kauai in an open...

Pros: Kauai is a lush, beautiful island with incredible scenery in all directions. Cons: It is small enough that you could get "island fever" but I never have!
Kauai has the most beautiful landscape of any place I have ever visited. A small island with craggy mountains surrounded by the blue Pacific Ocean, it is a feast for all the senses.
The lush, green foliage and myriad of blooming flowers...

Pros: Beauty Cons: Rain and wind
One week ago today, we were "feeding the fish" off the side of a boat going up the Na Pali coast. Maybe I should start from the beginning.
Our third trip to the islands, but first to Kauai began on April Fools Day. Was this...

by eclair , Jul 02 '01
Pros: Beautiful, majestic, awe inspiring. Cons: Expensive, expensive, expensive
We stayed 4 days on the island after 2 days on Oahu and 1 day on the Big Island.
One caveat. Don't reserve activities at the the hotel concierge. Most of them are outside vendors and charge a surcharge, you are better off using coupons and...

Pros: Warm weather/water, Solitude Cons: Fairly expensive (Main con is I'm not there)
In March or 2000 my wife and I spent 5 days on the wonderful island of Kauai as part of a 19 day dream vacation that included time on Oahu, Kauai, Tahiti, Bora Bora and a day trip to Moorea. Essentially what we did was spend 10 days in the Hawaiian...
