Friday, September 3, 2010
Today’s Aloha Friday Photo is of Maui’s Nakalele Blowhole bursting in action. You’ll find the (~1.5 mile) trailhead that leads to this blowhole near mile marker 38 off highway 30 (Honoapiilani Highway) in northwest Maui. Simona Deidda submitted this nice shot that she captured while visiting Maui in August. She traveled to Hawaii all the way from Milan, Italy. Simona described her Hawaii vacation as “an amazing experience.” Mahalo to Simona for submitting her photo and for contributing to our facebook community ! © Go Visit Hawaii – Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.

Thursday, September 2, 2010
Garden Spa Treatment Hale Anara Spa’s setting is amazingly blissful. Stone paths lead you past tropical gardens filled with blooming ginger, palms, ferns, and plumeria. Your mind is put at ease by the sounds of waterfalls cascading over lava rock walls and tropical birds. You’ll enjoy sipping fruit-infused, chilled water while waiting reclining in an open-air, thatched roof hale (bungalow) before your spa treatment. It’s fantastic! A dreamy and sighful “aahhh” comes to mind when I recall my recent experience at Anara Spa. I loved it! If you are looking for a special spa experience on your Kauai vacation, I highly recommend you check out Anara Spa. Anara Spa offers a wide range of spa treatments from massages and body treatments to facials. Treatments are offered either in “indoor-outdoor” rooms with a little bit of an open-air element or in the garden spa area with thatched roof hales. I opted for the 50-minute Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage in an outdoor private hale ($160). The massage was excellent. Before your spa treatment, you can take advantage of the spa’s unique amenities spread across this 45,000 square foot spa. The spa offers a lap pool, whirlpools, outdoor lava rock wall showers (see my iphone photo ) , soaking tubs, sauna, and steam room. They even have a 12-head shower that’s fun to try. It’s like being in a car wash. After my visit to Anara, I told my husband, Andy, that I’ve probably never been cleaner in my life with all the different showers I tried. I loved soaking in the sounds and garden scenery at this Relaxation Hale Some spas have snooty staff, but you won’t find that at Anara Spa. Anara’s staff is very helpful and welcoming. I was warmly greeting when I arrived and led to the women’s locker area, where I was given an orientation to the spa and facilities. What to know when you go – Review Anara Spa’s website which describes their spa services and prices. Anara Spa is located at the beautiful Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort in Poipu (Koloa) at 1571 Poipu Road. If you are not a guest of the hotel, you can self park in a large parking lot on the left near the entrance of the resort. Valet service is also available. Aim to arrive at least 30 minutes before your appointment to take advantage of the steam room, sauna, whirlpool, lap pool, showers, etc. I thoroughly enjoyed the Relaxation Hale, so make sure you leave time for that. Bring a swimsuit if you’d like to take advantage of the lap pool, whirlpools, etc. Want a deal at Anara Spa? Who doesn’t! Check the Grand Hyatt Kauai twitter stream or their facebook page for the latest spa deals. Have you been to Anara Spa? How was your experience?

Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Luxury Vacation Home on Poipu Beach I was invited to a cocktail party at this luxury beachfront vacation home on a recent trip to Kauai . Well, it was absolutely cruel and lovely at the same time. It was cruel in that I can’t afford a daily rental rate starting at $1,500, but it was lovely to dream of staying there. I thought you might enjoy taking a peak at this luxury home too. We can all dream together. Prepare to sigh. A private pool and hot tub with an oceanview. Sigh, sigh, sigh! I wouldn't mind waking up to that view. Would you? The cocktail party was hosted by the nice folks at Kauai Vacation Rentals who offer a wide range of vacation rentals to suit any budget. They even offer properties that better fit my budget, like this cute garden view, one-bedroom studio that rents for $85 per day. Bargain! © Go Visit Hawaii – Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.
