I had to go to the end of the Earth to find it...but Paradise does exist.
If you're into sunbathing and swimming naked you know that it's hard to find a place in the sun that's just right. -if you're not, try it in Kauai, you'll be converted.

Pros: Kitchen, washer-dryer, lots more room
Cons: Not all things on-site, restaurants, shops etc.

My wife and I are fairly seasoned travelers. We have been to Hawaii in general 6 times, and to Kauai 3 times. Having both stayed in a hotel and condo, plus stayed on a cruise ship once, I feel that the condo route is the way to go.

Now I will...

Pros: The island is small so it's not crowded.
Cons: There aren't as many safe beaches as the other islands

I stayed at the Outrigger Resort on the island of Kauai. It wasn't on a very nice beach because it was scattered with sharp rocks and had huge waves. I didn't spend much time on the beach because their pools were so nice. There were three huge pools in a...

Pros: not a lot of tourists
Cons: not much night life as far as clubs

Review Topic:  Overview

I have visited Kauai twice, once in the summer and once in the fall. It is a beautiful island that is not overrun with tourist traps. Both trips were warm, not humid. The evenings are warm with a nice...

Pros: Beautiful scenery, not crowded, slower pace than the mainland
Cons: Weather unpredictable, high surf, expensive

We went to Kauai for eight days - thinking why not make the most of a week's vacation. We stayed at the Kiahuna Plantation in Poipu, a place I would highly recommend. It's like a really nice condo in a garden setting. It really has the feel of a...

My wife and I visited Kauai in August 2003 for two weeks, spending a week on the eastern side of the ...

One might say that newlyweds have a tendency to enjoy their honeymoon. And Kauai (pronounced like Hawaii, but with a K)is indeed the perfect spot for the enjoyment to take place. We went in August 2004 and we throughouly had fun. Kauai's beauty is ...

Pros: Gorgeous,lush, unspoiled beauty. Friendly and charming.

Pros: Beautiful lush island; warm & friendly people; excellent food
Cons: 5,000 miles from home!

Pros: Beautiful, quiet, lots of sand

We just returned from our first visit to Hawaii. Our time was limited to Kauai. Nicknamed the "Garden Island," it is the northernmost and wettest in Hawaii.

Kauai is mostly rural, with no hotel strips, no four lane roads, and no parking...

Pros: All the other islands are a bit of a let-down after seeing Kauai.
Cons: None.

My wife and I traveled to Kauai in May of 2003. This was a return trip, since we went last year (May ...
