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.

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.

Do not come here for surfboard rentals. Here are three reasons why:…read more 1. **Higher Prices**: This is not the cheapest place to rent surfboards. My family and I initially wanted to rent from a different shop, but they close early in the afternoon. So, we ended up at Backdoor Surf instead. I recommend going to Hanalei Surfboard Rentals instead; it's cheaper, and they offer both half-day and full-day options. You can check them out at [Hanalei Surfboard Rentals](https://hanaleisurfboardrentals.com/). I'm not affiliated with them; I just had a really good experience, and they loaded the boards onto our car quickly. 2. **Long Wait Times and Attitude**: At Backdoor Surf, they spend a long time inspecting the boards and handling paperwork, but that's not the worst part. One of the store associates, David, was quite rude while loading the boards onto our car. My mother asked me to watch him so I could learn how to put the boards back on the car rack when we returned. I told her I already knew how to do it, and David interjected, "Then why don't you do it?" He had a poor attitude while loading the boards, despite us paying over $80 for two surfboards and one paddleboard. Another associate, Kira, told us that David would load the boards and he still gave us an attitude, and it took him about 20-30 minutes to do it. 3. **Poor Customer Service**: Kira started rambling about her personal problems during our visit, while David provided terrible service and only acted friendly when we returned the boards. **Summary**: Choose another rental place if you prefer to be treated professionally by those you are paying and if you value timely service.

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.
