Hilton Kauai Beach Resort

1. Location Hilton Kauai Beach Resort (former Radisson Kauai Beach Resort) is located in a quiet spot on the East Shore, 3 miles away from Lihue. This hotel is a great starting point for day trips to anywhere on the island - North Shore, Waimea Canyon, Poipu, etc. The entrance will impress you with elegant torch lights and tree groves lined up along the drive. The lobby is elegantly furnished and brightly lit with large chandeliers. Walking through the property is an experience in itself. There are 25 acres of lush greenery, palms and wide lawns that extend all the way to the beach. Hilton Kauai Beach Resort has a very natural Hawaiian atmosphere. 2.

They have good tropical drinks and tasteful appetizers. Open 6pm-11pm. 4. Things to do Free Cocktail Hour The nightly manager's happy hour (5pm-6pm) is wonderful--free beer, sodas, wine, and mai tai's! Right after it, from 6pm to 7pm, you can watch a tradional torch-lighting ceremony. Hula dancers and Hawaiian musicians demonstrate their talents while lighting tiki torches around the pool area. The last part of the torch lighting ceremony is the most amusing. Boys and men, if you are tall and handsome, be prepared to be abducted by the hula dancers during the show and not be released until you have hula-danced with them. All those chosen receive a shell necklace as a nice little souvenir. Beach The hotel fronts 3 miles of beautiful secluded white-sand beach. Although you can't swim at the beach (waves are pretty rough and unsafe most of the time), walks in the sand are still very enjoyable. Pools The pool area consists of four good-sized pools of different depths, including a 3-ft-deep sand pool for little ones. 3 freeform pools are arranged around rock waterfalls and cave that looks like Fern Grotto. Brand-new fresh-water sand-bottom pool with a man-made beach is particularly relaxing. There is also a Jacuzzi, thatch-roof snack bar and plenty of lounge chairs around. Other facilities include: Free coffee/tea in lounge every morning Free shuttle from/to airport, golf and shopping Spa & Exercise Center offers sauna, spa treatments and massages and up-to-date exercise equipment 4 tennis courts Public 18-hole Wailua Golf Course is next door (low green fees) Business center Sundry shop Concierge Laundromat Free valet parking
