We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a trip to Hawaii, November 14-30, 2011. Stayed 3 days on Oahu, 5 days on Kauai, and 8 days on the Big Island (4 West side, 4 East side).

By far the best and most enjoyable accommodations were our 5 nights at Kakalina's Bed and Breakfast. Kathy was most helpful and such a pleasure to meet and speak with. The gardens are magnificent.

Kapaa is centrally located with easy access to all parts of the island. I wish I was in a position to come back every year and spend a month, and of course stay at Kakalina’s.

We truly enjoyed our three nights at Kakalina's -- Kathy is a wonderful hostess. The accommodations were spacious and well appointed. The breakfasts were tasty. And the plentiful information on activities and restaurants were very helpful. We want to go back soon!

We selected the Kakalina B&B on Kauai because it offered a two bedroom suite for a very reasonable rate. The B&B is in a quiet neighborhood and Kathy brought fresh fruit and baked breads to the suite daily. She also grows many exotic flowers and can ship them, so we sent a couple packages to friends back home. The location was perfect for seeing all the sights on Kauai.

We were two couples spending three nights at this B&B. It was my third time, first was in 1984, second ten years ago, and now again. It has come a long way from the first unit, still lovely, which is underneath the main house. Now there are stand-alone units which are fully equiped, modern and tasttefully decorated. You have privacy, and it's a pretty location, with a nice view of a lagoon and the flora. Kathy also grows flowers, and she's happy to take all visitors through her lush garden. She's also helpful with advice generally on the island, and has a very "up" personality. It's not near the beach, but it really doesn't matter as everything is so close on the island. It's excellent value for the money and we were delighted with everything.
