Kauai North Shore Hotels
The North Shore of the Hawaiian island of Kauai is popular for its rocky, lush Napali Coast and outdoor adventures. You can access the Napali Coast hiking trail from Ke'e Beach, where there is also good snorkeling. Golf on the North Shore is limited to the high-end courses at the luxurious Princeville Resort, although there are less expensive options on other parts of the island.

Hanalei Colony Resort

On the outskirts of Hanalei, the main town on the North Shore of Kauai, on the way to Ke'e Beach, is the Hanalei Colony Resort. This small property is located on a tiny crescent of beach. Guest accommodations are in two-bedroom condos with full kitchens and weekly housekeeping service. Wireless Internet access is available on the property. The spa offers services either indoors or on the beachfront. The waterfront Mediterranean Gourmet restaurant was named the best restaurant on Kauai in 2008 and 2009 by Honolulu Magazine. The Hanalei Colony has a partnership with Princeville Resort and guests receive preferred rates at the Makai or Prince golf courses.
