Hanalei Bay Resort on the North Shore of Kauai review
If you ask me where on the north shore of Kauai I would like to stay again my answer would be at the Hanalei Bay Resort. I just came back from a 5 night stay there. The resort is very beautiful and lush. Located on a hill with marvelous views to Hanalei Bay and Bali Hai, the resort is surrounded by beautifully-landscaped tropical gardens and has two pools (one of which has saltwater and is connected to a few waterfalls), a jacuzzi, laundry...

The resort grounds are truly beautiful and there is something for everybody – a shallow lagoon for kids... [Read more]

There are two roads you can take to Waimea Canyon – Waimea Canyon Drive (which starts in Waimea) and Kokee Road (which begins in Kekaha). Waimea Canyon Drive merges into... [Read more]
Kauai Inn in Lihue review
On a scale of one to five I would give three stars to the Kauai Inn. Coming from the Hanalei Bay Resort to the Kauai Inn was a little bit of a shock at first. The Inn is located in a residential neighborhood behind Nawiliwili Harbor and there is nothing there besides a few homes and a small beach park, where mainly local people gather. The Inn has 4 buildings and I left with the impression that in one of the buildings people live... [Read more]
