Customer Ratings: - Great Book!. I was very happy with this book and found it very helpful on my trip. I referred to it a great deal and glad I had it before I left.
- Good book before you go. I got this before going to Hawaii and it is a great book. You don t realize how valuable it is until you get to Kauai and then wish you had it with you. Be sure to take it with you when you go. There is no way to remember all the things you want to see and do when you get there.
- Frommer s Kauai. This particular book is the typical Frommer s edition. It gives the places that the staff have visited and reviewed. I wish it would delve into more of what the restaurant, hotel, or tourist attraction has to offer.
- Lousy Travel Book. Frommer s desperately needs to expand this book in its second edition if it is going to be useful. Very brief descriptions on almost everything, no useful maps, limited in scope. Disappointing.
- Buy the Ultimate Kauai Guidebook instead..... I over prepare for trips and in doing so I bought Fodor s guide to all the Hawaiian islands, Frommer s Kauai (the one you are thinking about buying), and the Ultimate Kauai Guidebook. This Frommer book is absolutely awful. It has no more detail in it than the Kauai section of the Fodor s book covering all of the islands. I have never been more disapointed with a travel book than I was with this one. The best Kauai book by far is the Ultimate Guidebook by Doughty and Friedman. Again, this book is nothing more than a waste of your money.
