Kauai Beach Resort & Spa, for the most pools in Lihue

If there were an award for the most pools among the hotels in Lihue, this one would surely win, since it’s got four pools and two hot tubs! There’s a great water slide and waterfalls for the kids, while mom and dad can supervise from the poolside bar. You’re also coming here for the views: all 350 rooms – all with balconies – overlook a combination of pools, mountains and ocean, as well as the hotel’s verdant landscaped grounds (just six minutes from the airport). Hungry? Choose between seafood dishes at Naupaka Terrace or nachos and burgers at Driftwood Bar & Grill.
