"Kiahuna" means "special place" in Hawaiian, an apt description of this complex of  300-condominiums in plantation-style buildings and their nearby 10-court tennis complex. Head pro Ernie Blachowiak has a loyal following, thanks to 23 years of living on the island, and that helps to make this terraced club the most active on Kauai, with daily clinics, weekly round robins, and the best game-matching around. It doesn't hurt to have a small, friendly cafe that serves breakfast and lunch at tables overlooking the courts.
This is your opportunity to rate and review the resorts and camps you've visited. As material comes in I'll post it here, so you can read what others think.
 So far, I haven't received any written feedback on Castle Kiahuna Plantation. If you've taken a tennis vacation there, I'd like to hear your reactions.

Rates.
The lodging options are one- or two-bedroom suites with full kitchens. Rates vary according to size, view, and proximity to the ocean, and check the web site (see "Make a Reservation" below) for Internet specials. All of the rooms are in two- or three-story buildings (none with elevators). They have ceiling fans and Jalousie windows but no air-conditioning. Rates include free use of the tennis courts.
