Kaua'i

One of my favorite hotels in the world. Love this place. If you're concerned about rain, this is where you want to stay... drier side of the island.

hyatt is great and much sunnier than princeville. We stayed in princeville and loved it and will stay there again next time, but it has more rain than Poipu side of the island.

Best restaurant on the island. Make reservations or show up at 5:30pm to grab a seat in the bar. Make sure you bring your camera to take pictures at sunset

This was our favorite restaurant on Kauai. Great photo opps around sunset. Just walk out from your table and the waiters know they need to take pics. You'll need a reservation or you'll be jockeying for a position at the bar like we did. Oh yeah... only open for dinner.

I like everything about this place... except the cats. It's one of the nicer restaurants in Hanalei

cool little place in Hanalei. Could be one of the nicer restaurants in Hanalei.

One of the better romantic spots on the island. On the south shore, not too far from the Hyatt in Poipu (if you stay there). On the water. Good food.

this is a bar and tapas restaurant in Hanalei. worth stopping in and high odds of Laird sighting in there.

Good choice in the Poipu area. Setting isn't as good as the Beach House, but typical Roy's quality.

Might be my favorite spot on earth. Rains a lot, but worth it. Totally relaxing and beautiful.

Great place to grab a sandwich to take to the beach (preferably Anini, which isn't too far away). Nice wine selection too.

Dan, I'm JR's brother... thought I'd add some of my tips too. Very jealous. Love Kauai.

This is the restaurant/cafe inside the North Shore General Store, which is the store at the Chevron station. Burgers, pizzas and Calzones. All good. And perfect for a takeaway lunch for the beach. See my tip for "North Shore General Store" for map location and address, but its basically at the This is the restaurant/cafe inside the North Shore General Store, which is the store at the Chevron station.
