Kaua'i resorts do well in Honeymooner's Review Guide
Advertiser Staff
Kaua'i resorts are faring well at Honeymooner's Review Guide, a honeymoon planning Web site, which recently launched its new Honeymooner's Choice Award to call attention to what it sees as the best hotels, resorts and cruises providing excellence and value.The Honeymoon Choice Award — announced this week — is based on honeymoon couples' ratings of the hotel, staff research and on-site inspection by one of Honeymooner's Review Guide's trained professionals.
Unlike some of these sites, this one actually includes the travel horror stories as well as the rave reviews.
Awards are made in the categories of Best Honeymoon Hotels, Best Romantic Hotels, Best Honeymoon Affordable Hotels, Best Hidden Gems, Best Destination Wedding Hotels and Best Honeymoon Cruise Ships.
The Hanalei Colony Resort was selected Best Hidden Gem Hotel in part "for its lovely ocean suites with breathtaking views only feet from the beach, its romantic and secluded location on the far north shore, its onsite professional destination wedding coordinator and its spectacular beach and ocean view wedding ceremony sites."
It also got the nod for "its terrific spa and one of the best restaurants on the island, the Mediterranean Gourmet Restaurant."
The Sheraton Kauai Resort was chosen Best Destination Wedding in part for its "great suites with spectacular ocean views, exemplary destination wedding program and packages, outstanding beach and ocean wedding venues, and a great location on Poipu Beach. "
The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa won its Award as the Best Honeymoon Hotel partially based upon "its lovely appointed rooms, many with great ocean views, superior resort and room amenities, gorgeous grounds with waterfalls and terrific views of the Kauai coastline."
Other Hawai'i hotels got great reviews including the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Kaupulehu; and the Maui Prince Hotel.
Award recipients receive special mention on Honeymooner's Review Guide's honeymoon planning and travel website, www.honeymoonersreviewguide.com and will be shown with the award symbol next to their listings in the extensive database of Hotels, B&B's and Cruises available to couples to choose from on the site.
Honeymooner's Review Guide is a honeymoon planning and travel site which includes a hotel and resort search engine, the Honeymoon Resort Finder.
Ratings and reviews by honeymoon couples are listed, and the search engine allows couples to look for their ideal destination wedding or honeymoon by location, type, cost per night, and an array of amenities.
