Secret Beach 1. Spend a day at any of the North Shore's beaches. Secret Beach and Anini Beach are our favorites. Both are big enough to accommodate lots of beach goers, yet spread out enough so you will feel as though you have a fabulous beach all to yourself! 2. Indulge by having a drink at the St. Regis Princeville Hotel at sunset. There's a reason the prices at this hotel are astronomical - you're paying for the view. But what a view it is! And you can experience the same view, just for the cost of enjoying a mai tai or your favorite tropical beverage on the lanai of the world famous Princeville Hotel. 3. Take a Helicopter Ride. If you treat yourself to one adventure, a view of Kauai from the air is not to be missed! Some parts of the island, especially the Na Pali coast, can only be seen from the air! You'll be glad you did it. Bali Hai sunset view from Princeville Hotel NaPali coast from the air Kalalau Lookout in Waimea Canyon 4. Soak in the scenery of Waimea Canyon on the west side of the island. If you time it right, even an amateur photographer can capture a picture-perfect postcard shot of one of the world's most spectacular vistas.  5. RELAX and enjoy the ALOHA spirit of the island! As if you needed anyone to tell you that. Along with the Aloha spirit, relaxation is a requirement when you come to Kaua'i! About the rain you hear associated with Kauai...yes on average Kaua'i gets more rain throughout the year than the other Hawaiian islands. And it's true that Kaua'i is home to the "wettest spot on earth" - Mt. Wai'ale'ale, which receives an average of 440 inches of rain a year! However, the rain showers that sprinkle the island generally don't linger. And remember, the gentle rain that sweeps over the island is the basis for the lush tropical setting for the Garden Island, and provides the opportunity for breathtaking rainbows and spectacular waterfalls. Just look mauka (towards the mountains) after a rainfall for a peak at nature at work on Kaua'i! Guest Reviews We stayed at this fabulous condo in Princeville. It was a great experience! We were there on our honeymoon, and it was a perfect location. Princeville is the best spot on the island. The condo had everything we could possibly need, and more! The bedroom was very spacious and comfortable - really big king size bed!  And the lanai was like a beautiful retreat. We could tell the place wa sunique and different - not like your typical condo. They really set it up beautifully, with just the right touch of Hawaiiana! We loved all the pineapples throughout! The kitchen was better equipped than my house, with everything we needed.I can't wait to return to Kauai, and would definitely rent this condo again. Great price and terrific value! David and Jean, San Francisco CA, November 2010 The condo was excellent. The pool was beautiful and the hours it was open were good. Once we found our parking spot, it was very close to our condo. The value of the condo was great as well. We loved the beach chairs and cooler to be able to take lunch to the beach. Great lanai. Overall, a great place we'd like to stay again. Harris, Visalia CA,  July 2010 We visited Kauai for our honeymoon at the end of October.  This 1-bedroom condo is very spacious, and the location is very conveniently located to the beautiful beaches on the north shore. Amenities - beach equipment, coolers, W/D, ipod radio, dishwasher, and really all the comforts of home, plus lots of interesting info on Kauai - books and DVD movies made on Kauai. And very close to Queen's Bath - less than 5 min drive. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. Chitown, Chicago IL, October 2009 I love staying at condos in Princeville. The home was layed out nciely with plenty of room to put things away and not have to love out of our suitcases. This particular home was nicely decorated with an ABUNDANCE of pineapples. It was quite funny as everytime we turned around, another came up. There were also plenty of dishes, glasses, etc and even some beach equipment that came in handy. The best thing about being in this condo was the location. Princeville is the best place on the island. Also, a welcome guide helped me to refamiliarize myself with the location even though I had been there several times before. Leira, Garden Grove CA, August 2009 This condo was amazingly furnished with everything that you would have at home and more. We had a an awesome time. Jerry and Barbie, Redondo Beach CA, April 2009 This condo looked really nice on the pictures, but when we got there it looked a lot more roomy and exciting. It was furnished very generously. Since we enjoy cooking our own meals, the kitchen was highly welcomed. Dinners in the evening on the lanai are highly recommended. Princeville is beautifully located and were just in awe as we dorve around this area, mainly sticking to the north shore region. Shopping is easy and so is relaxing at this beautiful spot Kalle, Provo UT, February 2009 My wife and I spent two weeks at this location and did not regret a single second of our stay here. The layout of the unit was ideal and tastefully decorated. Having a fully functional kitchen and all the basic needs on hand made our stay like being at home, except we were in paradise!  Relaxing on the lanai was quite scenic. We would gladly stay here again, if we return to Kauai. Matt and Gail, New York NY, November 2008 This rental was perfect for us! The location is great; we were no more than a 10 minute drive from at least 20 beaches. The kitchen is very well-stocked for cooking dinners at home and the pool provides an excellent place to relax after a long day of snorkeling and hiking. You won't find a better deal for such a quality place on the island. I will definitely rent here again on my next trip to Kauai. Chris, Los Angeles CA, October 2008 Mahalo for your consideration.
