Kauai in June
 

Any recommendations on where to stay in Kauai in early June? I want to avoid the rain as much as possible. The Hyatt is booked and the Princeville a little out of my price range. Any advice is appreciated.<BR><BR>Thanks!

Have you checked the Marriott. It's a beautiful property that used to be the Westin. It's in a nice bay and not a long drive from the airport It's in a good location to avoid some of the morning commute coming into Lihue that you'd get from Poipu if you were going to the north shore. I know some people think you might hear the sound from the aiport but we didn't notice that when we stopped in for a visit. <BR>Are you looking for a resort or are you open for other possibilities?

I did see the Marriott and thanks for sharing your experience. I'm open to other options, and noticed that I could also rent a cottage. I'm not sure if this would be ideal for a honeymoon. The privacy would be nice, but it's kind of a risk I'm not sure I'm willing to take for my honeymoon. I need to do a little more research. Does anyone have any experience renting cottages in Kauai? Any other recommendations? Thanks again for the help.

check out hotelonsale.com Also I would call locally based travel agents the ones I know Roberts Hawaii and Pleasant Island Holidays. Always ask if there is a AAA discount and join before you leave this will also help you rental car. Last but not least last summer starwood hotels was offering a %35 discount to individuals just for signing up for the frequent stay program of their hotels. See if this is still on. Good luck<BR><BR>Rent a condo would be my suggestion more room and cheaper than many hotels.<BR>Would certainly book Poipu that time of year but if you don't see yourself in a condo I would do 1-2 nights on the North Shore save you some driving and it is gorgeous even in the rain should you hit some imho.

Hi, I just booked my room with HawaiiGolfDeals.com. with David Mills.<BR><BR>We are golfers and also getting married in July. My first choice for condo was the Kauai Coast Resort. However, we are booked at The Radisson for now.<BR><BR>He says the southern part, Poipu area has the most sun!<BR><BR>Best of luck! Have a nice trip!

We're booked at the Marriott in July. Have heard nothing but good things. If you are a Marriott Rewards Member (their frequent guest program), you can get a good rate through their web site. Input "M11" in the area for promotion code. If you are not a member, you can register on their website. We got an ocean/pool view room for $219/night. <BR><BR>www.marriottrewards.com

Wow! Thanks for the helpful info on the Marriott. I was thinking of staying a few nights throughout the island so I don't have to drive too much. Maybe 3 nights in Poipu (in a B&B?), 2 in Lihue (Marriott?), 2 in Kapaa (still researching), and 2 in Princeville or Hanalei. <BR><BR>Good idea? Bad idea? <BR><BR>Should I stick to two points instead to make it less nomadic (maybe just Poipu & Princeville)?<BR><BR>Thanks again, hopefully I can repay with advice upon my return!

I wouldn't Ben it is a pain packing and un packing not to mention the break in your day when you can't get into your room right away. I say split it up Poipu and Hanalei.<BR><BR>I know it is tempting with Marriot, Hyatt and Pville hotels but I did this last summer on Oahu and found that it just broke up the peace of our trip. We did get a broad skop of the island but it felt more like work. FYI coconut coast is worth a skip entirely.<BR><BR>Tremendous amount of great hiking around Canyon and Kokee Park, Napali when you stay in one place you do this sort of thing more.
