Re: Kauia Beach Club vs Waiohai Beach Club (by Gregory B.):

The Waiohai Beach Club property has one of the best beaches in Hawaii. The pool is just average. The units are smallish, but probably fine depending on how many kids you are bringing. It feels more like an apartment complex than a resort. Tile hallways, no hotel-style services. There is no towel service at the pool, no bellman service for your luggage, no valet parking, etc.

The Kauai Beach Club is more like a resort hotel, has a more formal feeling, and has full hotel services. The landscaping is gorgeous. The pool is grand, but is better suited to adults than kids. However, it is an aging hotel property that goes back to the 1950s. I also continue to notice deferred maintenance issues (peeling paint, chipped tiles, non-functioning fountains, etc) at the Kauai Beach Club. More and more it resembles the faded elegance of a once-grand hotel.

The helicopter tours on Kauai are expensive but breathtaking, Hiking the Napali coast is a challenge with rewards. Kayak up the Wailua River for an all-day adventure. Kauai has not much to offer in the nightlife department besides sunsets. But Kauai is the most beautiful and lush of all the Hawaiian islands. Just enjoy being there.
