I can only say that the Marriott near the airport on Kauai was very quiet - no plane noise, very comfortable with great beach access. I hope you found accommodations to your liking.

Couple quick questions: We've heard it's the rainy season, and that as much as we would like to stay up north the better bet is to stay down south. We're more "mix-it-up" than resort folks, but figure we want to have a solid base of operations... Also, you mention the Marriott. We're both Platinum members with a monstruous cache of points. However, the Kauai Marriott is soooo close to the airport... is it noisy? Are we going to feel like we're at the aiport? We really want to be on as serene as possible, just kind of chilling it when not hiking and doing other stuff, will the Marriott suck? We can stay anywhere, but would obviously not mind saving money by using points.

Keep in mind that I only discuss the properties that I am familiar with and have success in booking. In addition, I only book with reputable wholesalers, not individual owners. There are several advantages I have found in dealing with wholesalers; the condominiums always include maid service, they’re fully insured, you only need a small deposit to book, cancellation policies are more liberal and they are run by management companies which have more control and inventories at the properties.   (Check out Part 1 of this series) [...] [...] I’d like to continue my series about where to stay on Kauai by starting with the area of Kapaa.
