re: Where to stay on Kauai?

I went last summer and stayed at Marriott in Lihue. Had the time of my life! Really can't go wrong with whatever you do. I played the Prince course at Princeville. It blew my mind... Also played Kauai Lagoons at Marriott and enjoyed it as well. My favorite hike was at the end of the highway on the north side of the island (past Princeville and Hanalei Bay.) There was a nice restaurant called Hanalei Dolphin Restaurant nearby. I really enjoyed eating at the Beach House on the south side. Did the helicopter tour and it was aww inspiring. That island is probably the greatest place in the world. Incredible food all over the island. Best shaved ice...
