Lodging Options on Kauai

When shopping for accommodations on Kauai, you can choose from an array of lodging in three main areas of the island: the more populated eastern shore; the lush, tropical North Shore; and the arid southern shore. Along the entire western coast of the island are the plunging cliffs and isolated beaches of the infamous Napali Coast; no accommodation options are located there. <P> Also called the Coconut Coast, Kauai's <B>eastern shore</b> is home to the island's most populated communities &#151; Kapaa and Lihue. Kapaa's central location offers quick access to the scenic sugar country of the south shore, or the taro fields and long golden beaches of the northern coast. Lihue is Kauai's main traffic junction, with the island's largest airport just a few minutes east of town. Accommodations here include a mix of mid-range and economy hotels dotting the coastline. <P> The luxuriously green <B>North Shore</b> combines rural charm with the upscale. On the one hand you'll find bird sanctuaries, taro fields and the breathtaking views of the famous Napali Coast; on the other hand, first-rate hotel and condo resorts in Princeville and Hanalei featuring golf courses, tennis facilities and fine dining. Included in the mix are cottages and a sprinkling of rental homes and bed & breakfasts. <P> The <B>South Shore</b> has it roots in the sugar era, thus maintaining a quiet, rustic air that is accentuated by the flourishing artist's communities of Koloa, Kalaheo, Hanapepe, Waimea and Kekaha. Home to some of Hawaii's most beautiful beaches, this area also features a mix of 3- and 4-star resorts, economy hotels, condominiums and even former plantation cottage rentals in Poipu. <BR><BR> <I><a href='http://www.hawaii.com/hawaii-vacations/kauai/accommodations/hotels.php' target='_self'>Kauai hotel</a> brands include Outrigger, Castle, ResortQuest and Starwood. Kauai offers one 5-star resort, Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa, and no all-inclusive resorts. Timeshare / vacation ownership opportunities are also available.</i>
