Kauai

Pros: CHEAP HOTEL--$59 per night to start
Cons: DIRTY, Uncomfortable and Noisy

After a 5 and a half hour drive to the airport and a long, cramped 10 hour flight, I was eagerly anticipating my first visit to Kauai. When I finally arrived at the Lihue airport and walked into the fresh tropical breezy air, I knew I was in paradise....

Pros: Incredible beauty
Cons: Sunburn

Kauai is everything and more than you've ever read about.The one thing I think people need to know when they get here is to please adhere to the beach warning signs and stay out of the water when the signs are posted. We lose almost one person per month...

Pros: GREEN, BEAUTIFUL
Cons: rains a lot..but that's what creates the beauty

WOW...what can you say about such a heavenly place...Kauai is absolutely beautiful and a true paradise if you're looking to slip away from the rat race for a while. It does rain a lot in Kauai but that is why it is SO green and pretty. Just be prepared...

Pros: It's "Fantasy Island" just ask Ricardo
Cons: The flight and hotel costs make break your bank

Where do I begin to tell you about all the good things to be found in Kauai. I toured the "Garden Isle" in 1996 on our Honeymoon. It was not that long after the island had been devastated by Hurricane Iniki. The eye of the monster hurricane...

Pros: Perfect weather with trade winds to keep you cool. A VERY relaxing environment, perfect place for the shutterbug, fantastic snorkeling and kayaking. You can always find a place to be alone.
Cons: It's a long plane ride

Review Topic:  Overview

We traveled to Kauai in early June 2000. We are in our early 50's and are quite active. We had never had a honeymoon and decided this would be a good place to rekindle the romance in our love.

Pros: Quaint
Cons: Lack of creature comforts

During a recent visit to Kauai, I had the misfortune of staying in the downstairs of a private house in Kapaa. In this review, I cannot comment about the quality of service rendered by the owners, Garden Island Properties, as I was booked there due to an...

Pros: A beautiful island all around, and tons to do for fun
Cons: The cost, and the jet lag

My husband and I went to Kauai for our honeymoon 4 1/2 years ago. He owned a timeshare at the Pono Kai resort, and had never been to it. I'm glad he waited!

Kauai is a beautiful resort island. When I talk to people about visiting Hawaii,...

Pros: Quiet, Rainforests, Na Pali coast!!!!, Great Snorkeling
Cons: some may prefer more built up islands.,

Kauai is a must see on any visit to Hawaii. I think Kauai gives a better feel for what the true Hawaii is. It is not built up like Oahu, or like Maui is becoming. There is one main road around 3/4 of the island, the other 1/4 is the Na Pali coast...

Pros: Very Relaxing,Clear your head
Cons: Not luxurious,Not Cheap

The more subdued West end of the island- Waimea Plantation Cottages are minutes from the gorgeous Waimea Canyon- which is a must see if you go to Kauai. If you don't mind simple accommodations, enjoy privacy, and really feel like just "kicking...

Pros: beautiful
Cons: more rainy than some of the islands

Kauai has all the beauty and nature that you expect when you go to Hawaii, but without all the tourism and the crowds that abound at some of the other islands. I spent four days there last spring break with my boyfriend and had a fabulous time. The...

Pros: Learning to surf!! I did it!! And Cliff is a hottie!
Cons: I scraped my elbow on the board. But now it's better!

Without a doubt the highlight of my trip to Kauai was taking a surf lesson. Tons of places advertise in the tourist brochures, but the ad for one called "Learn to Surf" caught my eye because it said "Guaranteed to stand up and catch waves...

Pros: Fun, snorkeling, beach, town
Cons: A little slow

I have been to Hanalei in Kauai for a week or so for the last five years. I have stayed at a condo on the beach which is in large part the reason for my enjoyment of Hanalei. We stay at a great place in the middle of the Bay, within a few steps of the...

Pros: Scenic
Cons: Costly

Kauai is a very beautiful island. Now I now why they call it the "Garden Island". It is a very beautiful and breath taking site. I really enjoyed this island and there is a lot to do there site seeing wise. It is a little bit more costly than...

Pros: Paradise, friendly, not too crowded
Cons: Having to leave

If you go anywhere in Kauii go to Haneleii bay on the northern coast. In fact I think that very picture is from Hanelei bay. Hanelei is right next to these famous golf courses on the north coast. I'm not a golfer so you might want to look into this...

Pros: great beaches and restaurants
Cons: can't think of any

We had the best family vacation on Kauai! A major reason was the Kauai Underground Guide--a terrific guidebook--which told us what we need to know to find the best beaches and restaurants and things to do. What a help!

We loved Kalihiwai...
