"My husband and I used your Ultimate Kauai Guidebook when we visited the island last year. I had never heard of the book before I bought it off of Amazon, but that sure changed when we reached the island. Everyone was talking about the little blue travel guide! (Even the guides for the tours we went on recommended it). All I can say is thank you, your directions and restaurant reviews were right on, and boy did we sample!"

Sheraton Kaua'i Resort
(800) 782-9488 or (808) 742-1661
2440 Hoonani Rd.

412 rooms, 2 pools, 2 keiki pools, spa, Wi-Fi, 5 shops, 3 restaurants, 3 tennis courts (2 lighted), valet parking, 8 conference rooms, coin-op laundry, coffee makers and free coffee, PlayStation, fitness center (with an inspiring view), 2 massage rooms. The Sheraton is the perfect complement to the Hyatt. While the Hyatt excels at gorgeous and exotic grounds, the Sheraton boldly embraces the ocean. The Ocean and Beach wings are closer to the ocean than at any other major Kaua'i hotel. The sound of the surf hitting the rocks below the Ocean Wing is soothing. Kiahuna Beach, in front of the Beach Wing, is wonderfully close and easy to access. The Garden Wing is generally lacking but is cheaper. We're not as fond of the Garden Wing rooms. All rooms are on the small side (410 sq. ft. for the garden view, 510 sq. ft. for Ocean and Beach) and don't feel particularly Hawaiian, but the resort makes up for it with its cozy relationship with the water. Most rooms are connected to others by a lock-off--good for families needing more than one room. Their restaurants--Shells, Naniwa and Amore--have incredible beach views. Kids (under 12) eat free at Shells, and they have a child care program for $45 per day. (They'll even take kids staying at other resorts for more.) The Point lounge is a smashing place for an afternoon cocktail with light fare, and the sunsets from fall to spring are excellent.

The beachside pool is nice, and they have a small waterslide. Cabana chairs are $35 per day. Sheraton has a mandatory resort fee of $17 per day, which includes self-parking (a long walk), free local calls, tennis courts and a few other doodads. When picking a room, this is one of those places where it's worth the extra money to spring for an ocean view room, if you can swing it. They have free mai tais from 5-6 p.m. Ask for an "escape rate" when you reserve. Rates are $400-$740. Suites (1,000-2,000 sq. ft.) are $1,450-$3,300.
