The hotel was located at Kalapaki Beach on the eastern shore of Kauai. The site is now occupied by the Kauai Marriott. The most recognizable Tiki feature from the Kauai Surf Hotel was the Tiki face logo, as seen here on the matchbook in classic Blue version: And a slightly different Orange version. This logo was also used on the hanging lamps in the hotel lobby. Here is a close up. There was also a metal sculpture of the logo out front next to a cool Tiki, as shown in this tourist picture I found on the internet. NOW that is a classic shot! I remember a picture of the front lobby desk that also had the image, maybe someone can post that. Here is a Hawaiian-style guest room. (Great Tiki lamp) They provided swings in the rooms! This one is with Miss Kauai. I'd like that standard in my room! The hotel shops with a few fenwood Tikis Some of the dinning and entertainment options: The classic Torch Lighting ceremony The Surf n Sirloin The Planters Lounge hula dancers All in all one the great Hawaiian hotels that embraced the Tiki modern style.
