Months before my wife and I were married, we asked around for the best places to stay on Kauai. We knew we wanted to go to Kauai but had no idea where to stay. EVERYONE said to stay at the Hyatt, and everyone was right on. We walked into the lobby and both our jaws were on the floor. We couldn't believe how breath-taking the lobby was and couldn't wait to see the rest of the resort. The room was nice, although it didn't wow us. The bathroom was really nice, but the rest of the room reminded me of a standard hotel room--no frills. As for the resort, the grounds are absolutely, positively amazing. It has everything: a lagoon to swim in, monk seals sleeping on the beach, water slides, and mor...Read More

Beach House Restaurant Best of IgoUgo

Fathom Five Divers Best of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Fathom Five/Ocean Quest Divers"

Quote:
Our trip to Kauai was for two purposes. First and foremost, it was our honeymoon so we wanted to relax. Second, my wife was to get certified as a scuba diver. We chose Fathom Five on somewhat of a whim since I had no idea who to call. I called a week before we left just to get more information and the guy on the other end was extremely helpful. He was very nice, and I remember he was Canadian so we struck up a conversation about hockey. For me, I was sold. Her instructor's name was Mark. We met him at the dive shop and there he told us that he was an ex-Navy diver. I immediately worried about how my wife would handle his instruction. She had some issues during training, so I thought she mi...Read More
