The majority of Kaua‘i’s public parties take place at major resorts. One of the most popular is held at the Sheraton Kaua‘i Resort (742-1661) in Po‘ipu. The free annual fireworks show is scheduled to light up the night at 10 p.m. For a front-row seat and a full tummy, make reservations for the resort’s special New Year’s Eve buffet, which includes champagne, live entertainment and seaside seats for the fireworks. For the late crowd, head over to The Point lounge and dance until 2 a.m.
At the Grand Hyatt Kaua‘i Resort (742-1234), visitors can tantalize their tastebuds with the special New Year’s Eve prix fixe, four-course menu served at the property’s restaurants Dondero’s and Tidepools. Afterwards, live music will play at Seaview Terrace from 9 p.m. to midnight. If you’re feeling swanky, ring in the new year at Stevenson’s Library New Year’s Eve party, complete with live jazz from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m.
“Auld Lang Syne” activities over at the Kaua‘i Marriott Resort (245-5050) include a buffet spread at Kukui’s restaurant (5 p.m. to 10 p.m.) with contemporary Hawaiian entertainment from Clyde Letreta (6 p.m. to 10 p.m.) followed by dancing until midnight.
Wherever you end up, make sure to keep off the roads if you’ve been drinking. Kaua‘i police are known to set up roadblocks and perform random sobriety tests.
