![]() ![]() The Hilton has a beautiful pool, private beach access, and hot tub. Hilton Garden Inn – Value Pick: The Hilton Garden Inn is your number-one choice if you are on a budget but still need comfort.The Grand Hyatt Resort – Best Family Resort: With the best kids’ club on the island, wildlife talks in the lobby, and a five-acre pool complex that includes an enormous lazy-river pool, a waterslide, and a saltwater lagoon big enough for kayaking, the Grand Hyatt is unbeatable for keeping kids busy and parents happy.It has the LARGEST pool on all of Kauai with beautiful, natural-style landscaping throughout the pool areas. Koloa Landing Resort – Luxury (high-end): I was lucky enough to spend three nights reviewing Koloa Landing Resort and honestly the place is just phenomenal.The restaurant literally looks out to the waves, which is an awesome spot to start your day with breakfast. The best part about this hotel is that it is right on the beach. Kauai Shores Hotel – Luxury (but value also): A luxury feels with the resort-style property, palm trees, and a beautiful pool area.They are unique and they are absolutely incredible! These landscapes are what thousands of people travel to Kauai for. Because the Awaawapuhi Trail drops you so low, you feel like you are almost down in the valley looking up towards the top of the other ridges. The reason why I love this trail and what makes it my favorite out in the west is because of the magnitude of the dropoffs and the gorge. The rocks can be very crumbly and no step is certain on the ridges out in Koke’e State Park. Most people stop there but it is possible to venture down the ridge although this can be quite dangerous. They also have a lifetime warranty and you just send them in with a hole and they replace it no questions asked. Darn Tough Socks: These are the most comfortable hiking socks I’ve ever worn and last for years.I always keep this lightweight but strong headtorch in my bag for the unexpected.
