This low-rise RCI-affiliated rental property faces Wailua Bay on Kauai’s emerald-green east coast and is surrounded by wild orchids, hibiscus and coconut palms. The 10-acre grounds have enough activities to keep even the young and restless from growing bored: tennis and volleyball; a beautiful, quiet beach; and a boulder-enclosed snorkeling lagoon. And Lydgate Beach Park, with its swimming coves and playground, is steps away.

Guests can lunch at the poolside Kahanu Bar & Grill, gather for fruity cocktails in the Kuhio Lounge and dine on fresh local seafood at the Palms Restaurant. The 216 rooms, suites and cottages are newly renovated and wired to please all ages, with Internet access and Sony Playstations. Take a break from video games with a free cultural seminar on island history. (alohabeachresortkauai.com)
