If you're looking for something away from the glitz and glitter of some of the larger hotels, it would be hard to beat the absolutely charming Waimea Plantation Cottages on Kauai. Voted one of Hawaii's best hotels in 2001 by Travel & Leisure subscribers, the Best of Coast Award for 2002 by Coastal Living Magazine and AAA's 2-Diamond Award, this is simply a gem of a resort.
The private cottages are set amidst a 27-acre coconut grove with a beachfront of black sand. Originally built in the early 1900's, each vintage cottage has been historically restored and updated with modern amenities and conveniences, while maintaining the ambiance and charm of the plantation home. The 1, 2 and 3 bedroom cottages have complete kitchens and large lanais and are perfect for a romantic get-a-way or even a family reunion.
The cottages are only 28 miles from Lihue and near Waimea Canyon, one of the state's geological wonders, sometimes referred to as "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific". This is a very lovely resort and offers the opportunity to experience plantation home living in the most beautiful of settings that will leave you with wonderful memories.
