Kauai

Pros: Gorgeous Napali Coast, great snorkeling, quiet, peaceful island.
Cons: none

Note: The original draft of this review was 2700 words. With some guidance I have decided to review many sites separately and will note that so you will not wonder why there is a lack of detail on particular places.

Kauai was the...

Pros: Warm, beautiful! No snow!
Cons: Limited air conditioning, maybe in stores.

We were already in Kauai last year, as part of our tour on the Pride of Aloha ship by Norwegian Cruise Lines, NCL. Little did we know that less than a year later, my son and his family would move there. Grandma hadn't seen her grandkids for a couple ...

Pros: Absolutely breathtaking scenery. You'll never finish exploring it all.
Cons: Expensive food, dangerous beaches, no real nightlife, can feel isolated after a while.

Well, I'm a married man now. And not too long ago, my wife and I returned from a very beautiful and relaxing honeymoon - well, strike that, we exhausted ourselves, but emotionally, it was just what we needed - on the island of Kauai. It was my ...

Pros: Exotic landscape of towering peaks, lush valleys and forbidding canyons.
Cons: Home to the wettest spot on earth - don't go if rain depresses you!

You might have to travel as far as the Society Islands in French Polynesia to find anything even remotely close to the natural beauty of Kauai, the oldest and northernmost of the Hawaiian Islands. Kauai's natural beauty is simply stunning, a fantasy...

Pros: Very beautiful
Cons: Very dangerous

All the way around the island of Kaua'i are beaches that look very beautiful with white sand, very blue water, and green mountains looming in the background. Depending on the force and direction of the wind, they are excellent for lying on the beach,...

Pros: many restaurants, including one fine Thai one
Cons: the worst Thai food I've ever had at the other one

On both of my visits to Kaua'i, I had dinner twice at Buzz's Steak and Lobster in the Coconut Marketplace (across the road from a string of hotels). It (and the branch in Waikiki in Honolulu) feature prime rib on Friday and Saturday night....

Pros: Scenic
Cons: Slippery, muddy, long dropoffs

Most of the island of Kaua'i is wild -- literally wet and wild. Tourist programs claim that it has the world's highest swamp as well as the spot with the most rainfall on the planet. (I'm willing to credit the latter claim, but have seen swamps in the...

Pros: the peace and quiet; beautiful scenery
Cons: sometimes it can feel *too* remote

On our island-hopping honeymoon, my husband and I chose Kauai for our first stop in Hawaii. We figured that after all the hustle and bustle leading up to and at our wedding, we'd want to relax in the most peaceful place possible. We were told that of...

Pros: Gorgeous views of Na Pali coast, wonderful snorkeling, not crowded
Cons: No services, can be difficult to find.

I would have reviewed Kauai, but since so many already have, and done an admirable job at that, I decided to write a review on one of the main reasons I continually return to Kauai and the object of many a daydream - Tunnels Beach!

LOCATION!...

Pros: Romantic setting with beautiful ocean view rooms at extremely reasonable rates
Cons: If you like resorts with alot of people and activities, a B&B isn't for you

Pros: Staying at a bungalow instead of a resort was perfect (for us)
Cons: Staying at a bungalow instead of a resort might not be perfect (for you)

I spent two weeks in Hawaii in September, 2004 with the first week on Kauai for vacation. I found a great deal on a place and would like to focus much of this review more on how to make a decision as to where or how to stay on Kauai. I’m ...

Pros: so many great beach choices
Cons: so many great beach choices

Kauai is the Hawaiian island used by Hollywood the most to portray long, white, sandy beaches and lush tropical areas. The island is covered with valleys, gulches, rivers, mountains, gardens, waterfalls, parks, and even a canyon; but even with all that,...

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: All the pros that come with a tropical island.
Cons: All the cons that come with a tropical island.

I’ve had quite the eventful past week. I got back from Hawaii, sold my old boat, bought a new house, quit smoking and bought a new puppy. Short of finding out my wife is pregnant or I won the lottery, I can’t think of how this past week could have been...

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 ...
