Spend a week in paradise on the Garden Isle of Kauai. The Lawai Beach Resort is located on the southern end of the island in Poipu, near the rustic town of Koloa. During your stay, you can relax at one of the three resort pools or stroll across the street to the beach for spectacular snorkeling. Take your morning walk or jog down to the Spouting Horn blowhole. While you're there, don't forget to visit the National Tropical Botanical Garden to see plants and flowers unlike anything on the mainland.
 
Island adventures include hiking the Kalalau Trail to Hanakapiai Beach or kayaking the Wailua River. See the Waimea Canyon, which is called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Walk through enchanting little towns that look like they haven't aged in decades, but don't forget to visit Hanalei and eat some Shave Ice, in the Kauai tradition.
 
Resort amenities include mini golf, three pools, recreation room, the Rooftop Café and tennis courts. Snorkel equipment rental is available at the mini-mart in the reception area and assistance booking your adventures is available, as well.
 
Across the street is the Beach House Restaurant, one of the best on the island, with romantic views and incredible fresh fish entrees. Watch the surfers and drink a Mai Tai in the bar before settling down at your table for an unforgettable meal.
 
This vacation is perfect for a romantic get-away while your parents are watching the kids back home – or take them with you and spend quality family time enjoying island life. The unit has two bedrooms and one bathroom. A full kitchen makes dining-in for some meals a budget helper. Laundry is available in the building, too.
 
You won't want to leave paradise.
