If you are planning a trip to Hawaii, I highly recommend using the "Hawaii Revealed" books for any of the Hawaiian Islands. (www.wizardpub.com) The book is written by "locals" who have also lived on the Mainland. The writers travel to the different islands anonymously while critiquing the hotels/condominiums, restaurants, activities, beaches, outdoor activities and more. All contact information is also provided, photos and a great sense of humor. The best thing about the book is that the author doesn't just rate the activity but thoroughly discusses all aspects: the attitude of the people towards tourists, the cleanliness, the overall atmosphere. This really helps weed out some of the more undesireable places so you don't waste your time and money. Maps and directions are given as well as some nice color photos. It is definitely worth the investment to buy the book and plan on reading it while you are planning your vacation. They even post updates online as well as a more comprehensive hotel/condo. review with a map that shows exact locations.
