5.0 out of 5 stars Not flashy, but excellent, January 3, 1999

By A Customer

While this book isn't as flashy as others on the same topic, "Kauai Handbook" is packed with useful facts, thorough descriptions, and local insights. On several trips to Kauai, I've found this book to be useful over and over.

3.0 out of 5 stars Outdated material, inadequate maps, August 29, 1999

By	S. Meiner (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My family and I used this book on our trip to Kauai. The reviews were sometimes helpful but this island is changing so rapidly that a lot of the material is outdated. The maps are okay for general use, but don't use them to navigate. Pick up one of the free maps handed out to find your way, or you will get lost.

3.0 out of 5 stars Outdated, and other guides are better, November 15, 1999

By	PM (Mtn View, CA) - See all my reviews

This book did a pretty good job of covering restaurants and sights in depth, as opposed to the "Ultimate Kauai" guidebook. Unfortunately, it's out of date and not enough detailed in other areas. It was ok as a supplement to a better guidebook.
