Hawaii, Kauai Resorts

On the beautiful southern coastline of Kauai, 51 lush, tropical acres provide the backdrop for Marriott's Kauai Beach Club, a vacation ownership resort that boasts spacious one- and two-bedroom villas, and the Kauai Marriott Resort & Beach Club, a full-service luxury hotel and spa. Stretching along Kalapaki Beach, the resort features a spectacular 26,000-square-foot heated swimming pool and beachfront activities. Five restaurants at the Kauai Marriott Resort & Beach Club serve fresh island seafood, sushi, and Italian specialties. Kauai Lagoons, with a Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf course, is nearby. High-speed Internet access is also available.

Stretched along sunny Poipu Beach on the south shore of the island, this resort comprises villas that reflect the natural, unspoiled surroundings of Hawaii's magnificent Garden Isle. Popular for its quaint shops, historic sites, and excellent restaurants, the Poipu area of Kauai is also known for its distinctive, pristine beauty. Marriott's Waiohai Beach Club offers two-bedroom, two-bath villas, each with spacious living and dining areas that include three televisions, DVD player, fully equipped kitchen, soaking tub in master suite, private balcony, and a washer and dryer.

This contemporary resort on Kauai's north shore offers a swimming pool and whirlpool. The units have fully equipped kitchens, laundry facilities, and patios. Within easy access is a broad range of recreational amenities, including beaches, fishing, golf, horseback riding, diving, and tennis. Kauai's scenic valleys and coasts can be explored by car, boat, or helicopter.

Nihi Kai Villas Resort is situated in sunny Poipu, in a great location that is just steps away from the Poipu shoreline, and not far from Brennecke's Beach and Poipu Beach Park. The plantation-style condominiums are surrounded by palms, plumeria, and fruit trees, accented by tropical flowers and well-manicured lawns. Originally built in 1979, each unit offers modern conveniences and styling. Guests will enjoy the oceanfront heated outdoor pool, tennis courts, a paddleball court, and two barbecue areas.

The clubhouse, two pools, spa and tennis courts at Ka'Eo Kai offer much to do in a peaceful and exotic setting. Or you can venture a few short miles to encounter some of the world's most extraordinary sailing, deep-sea fishing, swimming, surfing, hiking and golf. Whatever you choose to do, you'll return each evening to a spacious and elegant suite, where gracious living adds the perfect finishing touch to your vacation in paradise.
