Recently renovated, the Aloha Beach Resort Kauai is located
on historic Wailua
Bay. Situated next to the only
navigable river in Hawaii,
the Wailua, it is an area of cultural and historical significance
where Hawaiian royalty once lived, worshiped and greeted
the sunrise each morning. Adjacent to the resort is Kauai's
only known petroglyphs and some of Hawaii's most sacred
Heiaus (ancient Hawaiian temples) including City of Refuge
and Malae, one of island's largest Heiaus. Centrally located
on the island of Kauai, the resort is ideal to enjoy all
the wonderful attractions of this most beautiful island.
The air conditioned rooms are very spacious and decorated
in island décor, with a choice of garden, beach or ocean
views. All rooms have direct dial phones with data ports,
voicemail, wake-up service, cable TV, bath products, mini
refrigerator, hair dryer, coffee/tea maker, Playstation
and many other amenities. Children 19 and under stay free
with parents, using the existing bedding.
The ocean view location features two swimming pools, mini
fitness center, Jacuzzi, picnic tables, tennis and volleyball
courts and shuffleboard. Adjacent to the property is Lydgate
Beach Park, with two protected lagoons for both swimming
and snorkeling. You can rent kayaks to paddle up the river
to a spot where you can then hike to a lovely waterfall.
Plan in advance and bring a picnic lunch with you and
paddle around the pool at the bottom of the fall - it's
cold, but refreshing.
Palms is the resort's restaurant for breakfast
and romantic dining in the evening with stunning sunset
views. Children 12 and under eat free when dining in the
restaurant for dinner only with a paying adult when ordering
off of the children's menu. For lunch and cocktails there
is the poolside Kahanu Bar & Grill, overlooking
the ocean and for a tropical drink or two be sure to visit
the Kuhio Lounge, where they host a Happy Hour
daily from 5 to 6 pm.
The Aloha Beach Resort Kauai's Luau is considered one
of the very best, featuring traditional Hawaiian hula,
chants and music in a beautiful outdoor setting. The delicious
Kalua Pork is cooked in an ancient Hawaiian underground
oven, called an Imu and is served with a wonderful selection
of other entrees and sides.
For those who want to know more about the customs and
culture of the ancient Hawaiians, the resort has a wonderful
Hawaiian Cultural Program that includes a weekly sunrise
chant with Kupuna Akana (fee), The Myths and Legends of
Sacred Wailua, Hawaiian Language & Values, Hawaiian
Musical Instruments (fee) various tours including one
