The Beach Umbrella was a nice Tommy Bahama beach umbrella but super old and flipped out in the winds at Salt Pond Beach. The Boogie Boards were old with flaps falling off that prevented us from catching good waves at Hanalei Bay and Poipu Beach. Make sure to inspect your gear before you leave! I didn't notice the quality of the boards until we were using them and seeing the rolls royce of nice boogie boards flying by us when we were trying to catch waves and going no where. This shop is conveniently located at the hotel and reasonably priced.

Couldn't return it in the evening the same day but they were nice enough to have us drop it early the next morning before they open up their store. I messaged them on the google chat or something , not expecting a reply and I got one! It was very easy to communicate and coordinate the drop off.

On this trip to Hanalei, I had to see what was new because it had been at least 7 years since I had been on island. My only complaint about the clothing line itself is that their spaghetti strap dresses do not contain a shelf bra, so if you are on the bigger chest side of the spectrum, this may be difficult unless you have a really good strapless bra. From the moment I walked in, I was met with some high-pressure sales which was a major turn off. I have tried on their dresses before, but they are just not flattering on my body type. I am not fond of strapless bras because they tend to smash large breasts, and are too hot to wear, especially in the humidity of Kauai. Their line is stunning, and they have beautiful shirts for men as well. The dresses come with pockets which is a plus, but their items are extremely pricey, at $239+ per dress. Once again, I left empty handed due to the high-pressure sales, high prices, and lack of shelf bra incorporated into their dresses. I therefore I opted to wear a beautiful and colorful spaghetti strap dress with pockets and a shelf bra from Marshalls for $29.99 and still looked stunning. There is a location in Kapa'a as well. Beautiful clothing and 100% worth looking at.

I circled several times and entered the store two separate occasions while I was trying to decide if it was worth it. Nice shop to browse and if you're in need of a gift though.

Heads up - avoid going to Foodland during dinner hour. Everyone has the same idea. Long times. We liked the poke. But the prepared food was primarily fried food. Ample outdoor parking.

I can't sit still and clear my mind long enough to be at one with the universe. I start thinking about what I'm going to make for dinner, whether I sent the mortgage payment, why the tip of my nose itches so badly and needs immediate scratching... But I do love everything else about Eastern philosophy, which is why I wandered into Divine Planet one afternoon. There's eco-clothing woven from bamboo fiber, Chinese paper star hanging lamps, handmade Thai jewelry, batiked sarongs, silk drapes, scented candles and lotions, saris repurposed into throw pillows and throws, an entire wall of stunning Buddhist malas, and beads galore for stringing your own jewelry or meaningful mala. The woman running this location has a non-pushy and welcoming persona that exudes Zen. Prices are reasonable, and the sales astounding. I found a handmade, multi-colored shift from Tibet with gold thread woven into the fabric for $10, marked down from over $60. Not that you could ever feel stressed out on Kaua'i (OK, maybe "rush hour" on Kuhio would do it), but Divine Planet's got yer om right here.

If you are a Quicksilver fan like I am you're gonna love this store!…read more It has a splendid selection of men's and women's surf/casual apparel in addition to boards/gear. Pretty much everything you need for a day at the beach or for chilling on the island. This past summer in San Diego was so freaking cold that we were wearing fullsuits most/all of the time. Consequently, my first few days back surfing Hanalei brought on a bad ass case of BOARDRASH, between my legs (ahem), fml. No worries because it was the Big "Q" to the rescue. They put a hella lot of research into their products and I quickly traded in my 3 year old jams for some mighty fine new Cypher Wonderland "Diamond Dobby" and Cypher Ion "4Way Stretch" boardshorts and I was silk again in the water! The staff here is also totally helpful and is a wealth of information regarding local breaks, things to do, and other businesses in the area. Long Live the "Q"!!!
