"Built on Kalapaki Beach, the Marriott’s 800-acre Kauai resort is a good fit for families and business travelers alike, and a gateway to everything the island of Kauai has to offer—if you ever manage to leave the place. It’s the site of one of the largest swimming pools in the entire state, an 18-hole golf course, and the Alexander Day Spa and Salon, where you can get Puholo steam baths and open-air massages. Most of the recently renovated rooms and suites have balconies with views of the sea or pool. Dine at any of five alfresco restaurants; try Pacific cuisine at Kukui’s Poolside Restaurant & Bar."
