Book Description

February 26, 2008 Frommer's Complete Guides (Book 436)
You'll never fall into the tourist traps when you travel with Frommer's. It's like having a friend show you around, taking you to the places locals like best. Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go--they've done the legwork for you, and they're not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money. No other series offers candid reviews of so many hotels and restaurants in all price ranges. Every Frommer's Travel Guide is up-to-date, with exact prices for everything, dozens of color maps, and exciting coverage of sports, shopping, and nightlife. You'd be lost without us!

Meticulously researched by one of Hawaii's most noted journalists, this is hands-down the most reliable, up-to-date, and comprehensive guide to Kauai.

Each of our candid hotel reviews is based on a detailed personal inspection. You'll find lavish beachfront resorts, intimate rain-forest B&Bs, family-friendly condos, and much, much more. Our dining reviews are simply the best in the business, whether you crave cutting-edge Asian-fusion cuisine or a hearty, affordable plate lunch.

Our author makes sure that you'll truly experience the spirit of aloha, and she'll help you steer clear of anything that's overpriced, touristy, or inauthentic. With Frommer's in hand, you'll know where to find secluded beaches; secret spots for snorkeling; the best outfitters to choose for everything from diving to deep-sea fishing; and where to find the top galleries and shops.

Inside you'll find extensive coverage of family-friendly accommodations and activities; tips on how to get married in the islands; recommendations for the best honeymoon resorts; and valuable advice on finding the best airfares and package deals. Whether you want to learn how to surf, hike through Waimea Canyon, play a challenging round of golf, snorkel with sea turtles, or simply kick back with a mai tai to watch the sunset, you can design the perfect trip with Frommer's Kauai.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy the Ultimate Kauai Guidebook instead...., March 13, 2006
This review is from: Frommer's Kauai (Paperback)
I over prepare for trips and in doing so I bought Fodor's guide to all the Hawaiian islands, Frommer's Kauai (the one you are thinking about buying), and the Ultimate Kauai Guidebook. This Frommer book is absolutely awful. It has no more detail in it than the Kauai section of the Fodor's book covering all of the islands. I have never been more disapointed with a travel book than I was with this one. The best Kauai book by far is the Ultimate Guidebook by Doughty and Friedman. Again, this book is nothing more than a waste of your money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Frommer's Kauai, March 8, 2007
This particular book is the typical Frommer's edition. It gives the places that the staff have visited and reviewed. I wish it would delve into more of what the restaurant, hotel, or tourist attraction has to offer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lousy Travel Book, June 1, 2006

This review is from: Frommer's Kauai (Paperback)
Frommer's desperately needs to expand this book in its second edition if it is going to be useful. Very brief descriptions on almost everything, no useful maps, limited in scope. Disappointing.
