Kauai Marriott Resort & Beach Club
Your best drive could probably carry a golf ball from this hotel to the nearby airport. In addition to a convenient location, the Marriott is a great place to stay for those who love swimming but dislike the ocean--the hotel is home to an extraordinary pool that surrounds an island of shady palm trees. The rooms are on the small side, but feature marble baths, mini-refrigerators and a TV. The fitness center contains equipment for those who enjoy aerobic training or weight training. The spa offers everything from massages to waxing treatments. Best of all, this Marriott is home to two golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus. The Kiele course meanders through groves of trees as you work your way toward a lagoon. The Maile course is a Scottish-style links course with plenty of rolling hills to keep you focused.
