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.]]> juliana 2009-04-13T17:42:04-05:00 22.2231401 -159.49356 The Best Hotel Infinity Pools http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/11/12/145631/26

Hotel infinity pools are our newest water lust. These swimming pools produce a visual effect of water extending to the horizon, vanishing, or extending to infinity and beyond.

These style pools are often very expensive and can cost over $100,000 to install.

These pools are mainly for adults, and are not particularly "child friendly". Cannonballs and vanishing edges are not particularly compatible. In any event, we to satiate our water crush we put together our quick bullet list of our favorite infinity pools.

The best hotel infinity pools are here.]]> HotelChatter 2007-11-12T16:32:14-05:00 Kaui: Where to Enjoy a Killer Hawaiian Sunset and a Tropical Drink in Kauai http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/3/5/83618/57817 [Ed Note: Hotel Maven Annie0007 did some hotel hopping in Kaua'i, Hawaii, where she visited the Princeville Resort and the Hanalei Bay Resort. Here's her near-orgasmic take on this island paradise.]

Hawaii, it can be said, is one of the earth's most lush, beautiful, spectacular places. Gorgeous, untouched beaches, translucent waters, running streams, mountain views, epic-movie sunsets...not to mention free crabcakes.

More on the North Shore's hotels after the jump.
