Kauai Beach Villas Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "PAHIO at Kauai Beach Villas"

Quote:
Best Things Nearby:Ocean, Lihue, Botanical Gardens, Waimea CanyonBest Things About the Resort:Tennis courts, nice units, lanai, nice pool, chickensResort Experience:This is a very attractive resort located on a beach that is lovely, but not safe for swimming. We enjoyed the pool, though, and went to nearby public beaches to swim in the ocean. The kitchen is very well-equipped; it even had a rice cooker.

The contrast between the deep green of the foliage and the dark red of the earth is amazing. It is one of the most beautiful canyons I have ever seen.

This is a site where the waves force water up through a hole in a lava shelf. It looks like a intermittent fountain or geyser. Sometimes you can see a rainbow in the mist.
