Destination Kauai: My Kauai Timeshare Trip

Interview with Mike Camden, Holiday Group Web Developer

Where did you stay and how did you like it?

Kauai Beach Villas. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. They seemed to be always on hand to answer my questions. I also liked the size of the resort–it was just small enough to be cozy.

What are some fun things to do on Kauai?

Attend Smith’s Luau. Go hiking, and definitely go kayaking.

Any insider tips on restaurants, shops, or beaches?

If you want a semi-secluded beach, head north from the resort, towards Hanalei Bay. On the right side you will see a small dirt cove ending in palm trees. Park your car here, and walk through the trees. The white beach stretches on for about a mile. There is also a river outlet that merges with the ocean, a great place to swim.

For the best Hawaiian shave ice, go south from the resort and look for JoJo’s It’s a small place that ONLY sells shaved ice. Also, if you’re in the mood for shrimp, a little farther south down the road, on the left side, is the Shrimp Shack, the best shrimp I’ve eaten, and it’s a decent price.

What do you wish you had brought along, but forgot?

More memory cards for my camera! There are so many places to take photos, you’ll need to be able to take a lot of pictures. If you want a decent priced memory card, head to Longs pharmacy, just past Coconut Marketplace, near Safeway.
