It's been 4 years since we've done it, help us get our groove back in Kauai
Hi!
DH and I are taking our first vacation in 4 years without the kids! Looking for some romantic suggestions of things to do and places to visit that will help us get back the romance that has been lost between diaper changes and sleepless nights.
We will be in Kauai 10 glorious nights. Plan to do zipline in Princeville (per suggestions on Fodors, thank you!) and maybe ATV rentals, along with some whale watching. These aren't really romantic though. Since this is our 3rd time on the island we are going to take it more slowly, and not try and do as much hiking and running around as we have in the past. (We need some sleep this time!)
Any suggestions for romantic dinners? Romantic spots or beaches? We might even want to do some dancing, if there is such a place there. Just looking for some creative ideas. My current idea of romance is having DH watch the kids while I shower and brush my teeth alone.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

auntie, I understand that late December/early January is the best time to visit. 
Our most romantic moment (that I'm willing to write about
) from our last trip was watching the sunset while sitting on the beach at Hanalei.
Wear bug spray. Getting bitten by the skeeters ain't romantic!
Less is more on Kaua'i.

The Beach House and Tidepools resturants in Poipu are highly recommended as romantic places to have dinner and watch sunset. We did both two weeks ago for b-day and anniv and they were nice with good food. Book Beach House in advance.

My suggestions:
1. If you are staying in Poipu, take a walk/hike from shipwreck beach east over the cliff towards Mahaulepu beach. There are a couple of nice secluded spots with great views of the water. Let me know if you'd like more specific directions.
2. During the week pick a remote beach, perhaps secret beach or donkey beach and just hang out watch the waves. With any luck you'll be the only ones there.
3. Dinner at Cafe Coco. It has a fun atmosphere and live music. It is more of a fun place than a get pampered place.
4. Sleep in
