<p>The song of palms, in a twilight tropic breeze. The soft hiss of outriggers, slicing the water of a blue lagoon. The majesty and mystery of the South Pacific is recreated in one of the most unique restaurants in America…Bali Hai, on Shelter Island – San Diego&#8217;s Hawaiian Isle.</p>

<p>Fiddler&#8217;s Green had its origins in 18th century sailing lore. Common seamen, who repaired their lines with a splicing tool called a fid, dreamed of a sailor&#8217;s heaven, where after the long voyage their every desire would be fulfilled.</p>
<p>Today, Steve &amp; Debi of Point Loma and their friends welcome you to their own Fiddler&#8217;s Green where the best food and drink, and perhaps a touch of merriment, are offered nightly in one of the world&#8217;s most renowned sailing ports.</p>
<p>The Theme is nautical, as you would image. When you enter the restaurant, you are greeted by a wall of half-hull boat models and when you look around, you’ll see more eclectic stuff, like the Fantasy Banyan Tree with a peacock in it….You might do a double-take, when you see an old guy fishing from above the room. Very entertaining.</p>
<p>We are kid-friendly, and there are plenty of nautical gadgets to keep them amused. But be warned that they may ask a lot of annoying questions, like “What’s this called?”</p>
<p>Fiddler&#8217;s Green is an amazing restaurant with exceptional food, attentive service and good drinks. We hope you join us here as often as your voyages allow.</p>

<p>The <strong>BEST WESTERN PLUS Island Palms Hotel and Marina</strong> is a proud recipient of TripAdvisor’s prestigious 2012 Certificate of Excellence!</p>
<p>I read the reviews and we booked 5 nights at the BW Island Palms &amp; Marina. It was a great choice&#8230;..great location. We stayed in the new section- wonderful view of marina by the KONA Marina entrance. It was very quiet&#8230;.we stayed street level &#8211; Room 482. Had a patio with blooming red begonias&#8230;.I really enjoyed having a glass of wine and checking out the happenings at the marina. Be sure and have breakfast at the hotel&#8230;..again a wonderful view of the marina, good food &amp; service. We had breakfast and then walked every morning on the SD Bay walking path&#8230;.before starting our day’s activities. They do have multiple pools&#8230;.with outside fireplace&#8230;..if you want to veg out at the hotel. This hotel is definitely a feather in the Best Western properties. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! – <strong>Tripadvisor, May 19, 2012</strong></p>
<p>“The location is great! Shelter Island is conveniently close to everything, but still separated from busy traffic and the &#8220;hub-bub&#8221; of the city. When we go back, we wouldn&#8217;t hesitate to stay at the Island Palms again”- <strong>Tripadvisor, April 26, 2012</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Stayed here for our honeymoon 3 years ago and have come back every year since. The staff is friendly &amp; has many amenities available if requested. Late night walks on the strand across the street are so romantic &amp; peaceful. So happy to have found this place!&#8221; &#8211; <strong>Tripadvisor, May 17, 2012</strong></p>
<p>Great Hotel &#8220;We really enjoyed this Best Western Plus. We were only there one night, so take the review for what it is worth. We would definitely stay again. The room was very clean and neat and the location is great. We did use the pool and hot tub (I believe they have two of each) and enjoyed them as well. Our unit had a kitchen that was all one would need.&#8221; &#8211; <strong>by Traveler on 7/3/12 Hotels.com</strong><br /> Posted: Jul 4, 2012</p>
<p>Trip recommended &#8220;Everything was just as I would want it. Service was friendly and prompt. All staff very helpful and happy to help. Location was across from water and a walkway. Relaxing.&#8221; &#8211; <strong>by a Hotels.com guest on 6/25/12</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We stayed at the Best Western Island Palms on Shelter Island and I have to say, we’ll be staying there again. The lobby was beautiful with a nice water fountain and greenery. The staff was very nice and it was easy to check in. Our room was next to the pool and had a view of the marina. It was a king size bed and was very clean. They are a very family friendly hotel. The Sunday that we were there, they had a movie night in the pool area, showing “Horton Hears a Who.” It was fun floating in the pool watching the movie. We had breakfast and two dinners at the hotel’s restaurant, the Blue Wave Bar &amp; Grill. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. They have patio seating that over looks the pool area and a wonderful view of the marina. We even got to see the fireworks from Sea World as we had late night drinks and desert. The price range is typical of what you would expect from a hotel restaurant.&#8221; <strong>Via Orbitz 7/25/12</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Atta&#8217; Boy Island Palms – you make us proud.</em></strong></p>

<div>Excerpts from his San Diego Daily Transcipt article.</div>
<div>Ask 10 San Diegans where they would like to go on vacation and a good number of them will answer, &#8220;Hawaii.&#8221; The islands are close &#8212; about a five-hour flight &#8212; tropical, beautiful, and they all speak English and use dollars. Actually, in some ways, Hawaii is not that different from San Diego. I think we have better weather as well as beautiful beaches, great hotels and fine restaurants. But, it is good to get away. That&#8217;s what vacations are all about – the getaway.Each Hawaiian island offers its own magic and appeal. Oahu has, in addition to all its beauty, a dynamic city to explore. Kuai has mountains and &#8220;the Grand Canyon of the Pacific.&#8221; The Big Island offers a view of galaxies atop Mauna Kea to amaze. But, whichever island one visits, one can always find a luau.The term &#8220;luau&#8221; first appeared in the mid-19th century and means something like &#8220;party&#8221; in Hawaiian. It is ceremonial, with old traditions about what to eat and how to prepare the food. Often, a whole pig is roasted in an underground oven using hot rocks and then served to the partygoers. Fruits, vegetables, fish and chicken often round out the feast. Because of fertile volcanic soil, proximity to the ocean&#8217;s bounty and good weather, the Hawaiian diet is healthful and diverse.</p>
<p>Well, put away that credit card and cancel the flight reservations. Hawaii has come to San Diego. <a href="http://www.resortkonakailuaus.com/" target="_blank">The Kona Kai Resort</a> on <a href="http://shelterislandluau.com/" target="_blank">Shelter Island</a> is now offering a terrific luau on Friday nights through August.</p>
<p>The Kona Kai is set on 11 acres on Shelter Island, with the only sandy beach along the bay.</p>
<p>The luau, of course, takes place right on the beach, with a captivating view of large, expensive yachts and Point Loma behind them. The setting could not be better. Hawaiian dancers greet guests at the entrance and adorn them with leis or puka shell necklaces to set the mood.</p>
<p>Festivities begin with the parade of the pig. A roast pig is carried in by a small group of warriors and displayed to the guests. Then, as diners fill their plates at the sumptuous buffet, the music starts.</p>
<p>The food is good. And there&#8217;s lots of it. Pork, chicken and seafood as well as pineapple, salads and other goodies are there, waiting to be stacked onto plates. Some people can barely carry them back to their tables. A small bar offers mai tai&#8217;s. A larger bar nearby offers wine and other drinks.</p>
<p>The long tables, with mixed seating, create a real social opportunity. It is fun to meet and speak with the strangers who are dining across the tabletop. Kids are welcome. Lots of them enjoyed playing in the sand in front of the stage.</p>
<p>It is the band and dancers that really make the evening special. The music was well played, ranging from strong and rhythmic to sweet and mellow. At one time, a number of couples were dancing in the sand.</p>
<p>The Hawaiian dancers put on a great show, as they gyrated their hips and waved their arms to tell the story of the colonization of the South Pacific. They illustrated their &#8220;tales&#8221; with music and dances from Tahiti to Hawaii. At the end, diners were invited onto the stage for Hawaiian dance lessons, which were entertaining and amusing.</p>
<p>The luaus are scheduled to run through the summer and are economically priced to attract families and groups. It is a really fun way to spend an evening, well worth the food and entertainment.</p>
