The St. Regis Princeville Resort Will Now Re-Open in October

Where: 5520 Ka Haku Road, Princeville [map], Kauai, HI, United States, 96722

The St. Regis Princeville Resort on the island of Kauai in Hawaii will now be reopening on October 1. The hotel, previously known as the Princeville Resort, closed back in September to undergo some massive renovations. Pretty much everything has been redone including the hotel's killer pool area.

But all is not well in paradise. The hotel was set to open on April 19 but was pushed back as construction won't even be completed until sometime in July. And Hawaii is going through an incredibly rough time right now. When the hotel does finally (hopefully?) reopen, rates for a standard mountain or garden view room will begin at $360.

Hike Your Holiday Away in Hawaii

Where: Kauai, HI, United States

Feeling a bit couch-potato-like or just like a vacation that gets your muscles working? The Orchid Resorts & Escapes group have put together just the package for you at Pure Kauai. The resort's Pure Kauai Adventure Boot Camp package works out to be a 5-day trip involving both a bit of pampering and a fair bit of exercise.

Included in the package is a host, all transportation on Kauai, meals from your private chef, three day-long hikes, private yoga sessions and either weight training sessions or Pilates. You can also pay a bit extra to get a daily massage in your room (after the hikes you'll probably need it). As far as the daily hikes go, you'll be taken on different routes including a Na Pali hike, a Sleeping Giant hike and an excursion on the Hanalei Ridge Trail.

The accommodation choices include the Bali Hai Oceanfront (the cheapest for this package, at $3,000 for the week per person based on a twin share), right up to the Kohola Point house where you can stay with up to five of your friends ($3,500 for the week based on 6 people staying).

Sounds like a way to have a week-long vacation, a bit of fun, but not too much guilt, as you quickly work off any calories you consume. Unless, of course, you're the kind who wants to just relax while on holidays, then we're not recommending a Kauai boot camp for you.
