Outrigger’s newest condominium offering on Kauai, the Outrigger Waipouli Beach Resort & Spa is quite possibly the nicest condo option on Kauai.  One-bedroom and two-bedroom accommodations are exquisitely accented with warm Indonesian woods and cool Peruvian travertine. Each offers a superbly appointed kitchen with Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf convection oven, and sleek granite countertops.

The resort's therapeutic heated soft-water river pool meanders over two acres with flumed water slides and three sand-bottom whirlpool spas. Landscaped walking paths invite

casual strolls to the shore. Aveda Lifestyle Salon and Spa opens in mid 2007 and will pamper guests with nurturing body care and restorative massage

Waikiki welcomes a new hotel inspired by the magnificence of the sea and the creative vision of renowned marine artist Wyland. The Wyland Waikiki (owned and operated by Outrigger) is a celebration of the ocean's beauty in a chic, contemporary atmosphere.  Guest rooms are cradles of comfort with custom pillow-top dream beds, bamboo-inlaid furniture, and ocean-hued bedcovers and accent pillows. LCD high-definition televisions and wired high-speed Internet access are standard amenities.

Every aspect of décor is meticulously designed to engage the senses and instill an appreciation for Hawaii's

tropical sea life. Throughout the hotel a refined color palette and gallery lighting capture the ambience of underwater habitats. The outdoor sculpture garden elegantly displays Wyland's bronze whales, dolphins, and sea turtles amidst swaying coconut palms. A stylish reception is created in the lobby with original brush art, 360-degree aquarium, and Wy Bar lounge (opens late 2007) overlooking the serene swimming pool.

Restored with a refreshing multi-million dollar renovation, with the Makaiwa surf break just offshore, the ResortQuest Kauai Beach at Makaiwa is situated on 10 beachfront acres, amid a coconut grove that dates back almost a century. With adventure to the left and enchantment to the right, the resort is centrally located on the island of Kauai. With two meeting and banquet facilities, the resort is ideal for hosting group meetings, wedding receptions and other banquet functions.

At this beachfront hotel, two-thirds of the 311 rooms gaze upon the Pacific Ocean. Rooms are richly dressed in distinct Polynesian designs and

touches of dark tropical wood tones in furniture and shuttered doors that open to a private lanai (balcony). More than a resort, this is a destination that brings together the warmth and hospitality of Hawaii with its rich oceangoing history, ancestry and legends that is at the heart of the Hawaiian culture.

Formerly a Radisson, Hilton took over this hotel and turned it into a deluxe 5 story oceanfront resort situated on 25 lushly landscaped acres of Kauai's longest exploring and strolling beach.  It’s located north of the town of Lihue, Hawaii and 5 minutes from the Lihue Airport.  Surrounded by exotic lagoons, cascading waterfalls and lush tropical settings, the Hilton Kauai Beach Resort offers a central, convenient location close to the airport, shopping, championship golf and all of Kauai's great activities and adventures.

Together with the Outrigger Regency mentioned above, the new additions at the newly constructed Beach Walk are really sprucing up downtown Waikiki.  The Embassy Suites – Waikiki Beach Walk Resort is Hawaii's only all-new, all suite resort and it's just steps away from world-famous Waikiki Beach. This brand new resort features two 21-story towers and offers Hawaiian hospitality in a modern, upscale setting. When you arrive at this ocean resort in Waikiki you will find a visual masterpiece of nature, landscaping, traditional Hawaiian art and architecture.It truly is a playground for relaxation, celebration and invigoration.

While options for luxury condos in Waikiki have been limited in the past, choices are starting to open up with the likes of the Outrigger Regency on Beachwalk and the new Embassy Suites Hotel (see below).  The Regency on Beachwalk is a boutique hotel and condo bringing fresh contemporary style and understated chic into the heart of Waikiki. Sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to a large, tiled outdoor lanai. Views of the ocean, city and mountains are drawn into the cool colors and airy ambience of the indoors. Hardwood floors are a warm tropical accent to the casually urbane decor.

Beautifully appointed kitchens invite entertaining. The bath is luminous and features an oversized shower.  Outrigger Regency on Beachwalk was recently recognized by the Building Industry Association of Hawaii as a 2006 Parade of Homes standout.

 Newly Renovated:

The Royal Lahaina Resort

With its fabulous beach and great central location, the Royal Lahaina has been a favorite of Maui vacationers for years.  But in February 2007, the Royal Lahaina Resort completed a $33-million refurbishment to the guestrooms and suites of its 12-story Lahaina Kai Tower, making it one of the best values on the island. Each room received a $100,000 makeover, resulting in new, luxurious guestrooms and suites celebrating the artistry, environment, and culture of Hawaii.

The Royal Kona Resort

Not to be outdone by its big brother (see above), the Royal Kona Resort on the Big Island followed suit with their own multi-million dollar renovation.  The Royal Kona Resort now showcases newly renovated guestrooms in the Alii and Lagoon Towers featuring new granite countertops, expanded marble showers with new fixtures, upgraded wet bars, new tile flooring and carpeting throughout, and plush King or Double beds.

Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort

Though the Waikoloa Beach Marriott was always one of the better hotels on the Big Island, their recently completed multi-million dollar renovation provides a warm, fresh new look within the popular Waikoloa Resort, which offers 36 holes of golf, shopping, casual and fine dining and so much more.  With three restaurants, a fitness center and one of the best beaches in the area the Waikoloa Beach Marriott will surely soothe your soul and entertain your spirit.
