The words "vacation" and "island" seem synonymous in most people's minds. That is because there is little else that can match up to the ideal of visiting a tropical island such as Hawaii on vacation. What else could really compare to pristine, coral blue waters and vast stretches of beach upon which to enjoy the cool ocean breeze and summer sun? Come to Hawaii and book several nights at a hotel Kauai offers that will instantly become one of your favorite tropical destinations guaranteed.

Kauai is known as the Garden Isle and was the first of the islands in the Hawaii archipelago to complete its formation. The island formed as a volcanic eruption through a hot spot in the Earth's crust but this should not cause any concern since the volcano is now dormant. The mineral deposits from past eruptions have made the landscape lush and green – a factor that lead to its nickname. The second highest peak on the Island, Mount Wai'ale'ale, receives 1.2m of rainfall every year making it one of the wettest places on Earth. But also one of the most beautiful since river erosion has etched out canyons and valleys into the landscape from which some of the most scenic waterfalls on Earth pour down.

It would be no surprise to run into a group of grazing wild chicken on Kauai Island which is home to an abnormally large population of wild chickens ushered in by Polynesian incomers and exacerbated by the disturbance Hurricane Iniki had on the island's ecosystem.

Part of what makes Kauai such an attractive destination is its natural environment. The island itself is its own landmark and its formation a miracle of Mother Nature. The Fern Grotto showcases the best of what the Garden Isle has to offer in terms of its vegetation – its rock is basaltic from having erupted as lava from the Earth's mantle millions of years ago and comprises a lush green wonderland of tropical foliage and fern dangling from spectacular rock formations. Kilohana Estate is a refurbished plantation house – taking a guide through this will give you an idea of how plantation owners and their servants resided during the 1930's. The Kauai Museum is situated within the lava stone structures at Lihue and houses a vast collection of art originating from Kauai itself as well as Niihua. The North Shore of the island will amaze visitors with its sandy white beaches and jagged cliff edges from which one can safely dive. When you stay at a hotel Kauai has you will have all these beautiful sights open to you to experience and revel in.

You should expect comfortable and spacious rooms in your hotel. Kauai has a panorama of scenic views so be sure to anticipate seeing something great from the viewing point of your hotel window. Rooms come equipped with single, regular double and queen or king size beds depending on your personal needs. Rooms are spruced up with traditional Hawaiian art and decor pieces giving visitors a good feel of the local culture and heritage.

Cable or satellite TV, flat screen plasma or LCD screens, DVD players, wi-fi internet access, beverage chillers, Hawaiian coffeemakers, marble bath-tubs, iHome stereos with iPod docks, bathrobes and laundry services are all provided. The staff is always friendly and accommodating of the needs of guests, making the environment homely and welcoming in your chosen hotel Kauai becomes your playground whatever activity it is you like to indulge in. For the more active tourist, hotel pools, gyms and tennis courts provide you with enough physical action to remain fit whilst on holiday.
