5.0 out of 5 stars the Fodor's Gold Guide, October 1, 2005
By 
Charlie Higgens (Oceanside, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fodor's Hawaii 2006 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
We visited Maui this year and Kaui. Fodor's is a nice fat book and gave us a wonderful overview of what we were about to see. The thing they do best is list the hotels with an annotated blurb and their review proved right every time. We borrowed two books from my sister who goes over there regularly, the Maui Trailblazer and Kauai Trailblazer which listed all the places to hike and snorkel. The Kalalau trail was righteous, our kids even made it 2 miles into the first beach and are proud of it.

I'd say read the Fodor's to determine which island suits you best. It also makes for good armchair reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars for all of Hawaii, June 5, 2006
This review is from: Fodor's Hawaii 2006 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
Along with specialty guides for Hawaii like the Trailblazer series, we use this Gold Hawaii book for things like the spa addresses and the refreshment reviews. We keep it in the back seat and reach for it when we approach the little towns. Thumbing through it always turns up something worth seeing.

The shop reviews and addresses always interesting. Sometimes the storefronts don't have curbside appeal and the book always spurs some interest to go inside.

It could stand for more young family with children stops and more cheap restaurants. That's our only criticism of this otherwise valuable book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful, June 17, 2006
This review is from: Fodor's Hawaii 2006 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
We used this on Oahu and the big island. It was indispensable for getting around and finding places. The write-ups were very accurate and helped us find a much nicer hotel when the one we had checked into turned out to be a roach motel.
