Best places to Stay in Kauai

The Kauai - Accommodation

There are three basic geographical areas on Kauai: Naturally, you will find nice sandy areas all over Kauai, so don't be worried about the best walks and relaxation on the beach. Although Kauai is not always saturated with the rains, it still gets a little more than the other islands in Hawaii.

An interesting point is that most of Hawaii's rains fall at nigh. During the rainy season we suggest trips to the east and south banks as described in this article: On Kauai, where you can stay overnight for the best weather. I summarise the advantages and disadvantages of holidays as advantages and disadvantages of the individual large Kauai areas:

You' re really gonna know you' re on Garden Island if you' re staying here. If you are looking for luxuries, you will find Kauai's most prestigious hotels on the St. Regis estate in Princeville. You can find mansions, timeshare and condominiums suitable for every North Coast budge.

• The north coast tends to get a little more rains than the other parts of the isle. - Kauai's North Shore has big swells in the November-March season, which can make the bathing shores insecure. This is a nice sandy spot near Kapaa on the eastern side of Kauai.

The East Coast is a comfortable, centrally located starting point for tours on the Isle. - There are no great sunsets from the east coast, but you can watch the sunrise. - Most of the East Coast is not floatable. Kalapaki is the most important exemption. The southern bank tends to be sunny and dry all year round.

Wide choice of accommodation - from budget apartments to mid-range and luxurious hotels. and we know how hard it can be to stay on Kauai. On our first journey we had a hard choice between north and southward waters. Perhaps you would like to divide your stay between the two places, as we suggest in this paper.
