Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation
The Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation is located on the beach at the southern tip of Kauai in the town of Poipu. The ambiance is carefully created to resemble a 19th- century Hawaiian plantation with wicker furnishings, ceiling fans and native wood. The rooms are large, ranging from 800 square feet for a one-bedroom all the way up to 1,584 square feet for a two-bedroom unit. Many of them come with ocean views and amenities such as a balcony, complimentary Wi-Fi and a full kitchen. The Poipu Bay Golf Course is less than a mile away, and the hotel also boasts a tropical pool with a water slide, an onsite restaurant and several bars and beach services.

Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa
Like the Outrigger, the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa also has chosen the sunny southern shore of Kauai as the ideal place to rest and recreate on the Hawaiian Islands. Each of the more-than 600 rooms come with private balconies marble baths, beverage chillers and classic Hawaiian decor. The 16,000-square- foot Anara Spa offers traditional Hawaiian healing rituals that help to rejuvenate the mind and body while the pool takes you away with a salt water lagoon and river pools to float and relax in. The culmination of every stay should be devised around the Robert Trent Jones Jr. Championship course located on site with its historic architectural reminders of the Hawaiian past, beautiful scenery and challenging holes.
