Royal Sonesta Kauai unveils transformation
The Kalapaki Beach resort's guestrooms, lobby and 26,000-square-foot pool area have been redesigned. Among its dining experiences, Kukui restaurant was renovated and now offers an expanded menu; and a new bar was added with handcrafted cocktails and light bites.
"In every decision throughout this transformation, we sought to honor the legacy of this iconic resort while reintroducing it as a modern luxury destination," general manager Jim Pedone said in a news release. "The heart and soul of this property remain unchanged — it has always been a place where guests create lifelong memories, from the iconic views to the oversized koi pond in the lobby, to the beachfront and pool experience. Now, with a fresh new identity and world-class enhancements, we are excited to welcome a new generation of travelers while continuing to be a home away from home for our loyal guests."
Also new to the resort is a luau show, "Drums & Dances of Polynesia," every Thursday night.
"Set against the stunning backdrop of Kalapaki Bay, this immersive celebration showcases the rhythmic pulse of Polynesian drums, captivating dances and rich traditions of the islands," the news release said.

SPLINTER CELL Series Creator Derek Kolstad Explains Why Sam Fisher Is 'Not the Best' — GeekTyrant
Netflix's upcoming animated series Splinter Cell: Deathwatch is bringing back stealth icon Sam Fisher, but not exactly the way longtime fans might expect. Series creator Derek Kolstad, the writer behind John Wick and Nobody , recently opened up about his approach to the character, and he doesn't see Sam Fisher as ultimate ghost operative. Kolstad told Den of Geek: 'One of the things that I like about Sam Fisher, John Wick, and Hutch Mansell [from Nobody] is that, yes, they're pretty badass at what they do but, more importantly, they're not the best. They get beat up.' That an interesting outlook considering Fisher's reputation as one of gaming's most elite covert agents, but Kolstad seems intent on making him more grounded and vulnerable. This means that Deathwatch might lean toward a grittier, hands-on style similar to Splinter Cell: Conviction , rather than the purely shadow-driven approach from the original trilogy. In the early games, Fisher was a master of infiltration, relying on high-tech gadgets and his iconic night vision goggles to ghost through missions without leaving a trace. Kolstad went on to explain: 'You look at the games, and he's incredibly adept and comfortable at tech, but sometimes a bullet or a blade or the ripping out of some cord is your best line of defense.' That philosophy hints at a Fisher who isn't invincible, and whose fights might be a little more brutal and desperate this time around. But Kolstad believes the heart of the character remains the same. 'I always loved the world of Splinter Cell. I'm a huge fan of army-of-one [stories] if you do it right. And yet, even though he's had hard decisions to make, it's just refreshing that Sam Fisher's a hero. 'He has moments of empathy and having to do this thing when both decisions are wrong, but one is a little less wrong at the cost of his soul and his own personal life, but for the benefit of the rest of us.' Splinter Cell: Deathwatch will feature Liev Schreiber as the voice of Sam Fisher, stepping into the role long held by Michael Ironside. The series made its first appearance at the Annecy Festival, where director Guillaume Dousse revealed some of the visual and tonal inspirations for the show, citing Ghost in the Shell , Ozark , and even elements of Mission: Impossible . Producer Hugo Revon added: 'It was interesting to have this aging character, not totally like the Tom Cruise version but more realistic, and more weathered by life.' The series is set to hit Netflix in late 2025, joining the platform's growing roster of video game adaptations like Castlevania and the upcoming Devil May Cry series. Meanwhile, fans are still waiting on that elusive Splinter Cell remake, which Ubisoft teased years ago but hasn't delivered any meaningful updates on. So, how do you feel about a Sam Fisher who isn't the best at what he does?

This Is the No. 1 'Feel-good' Destination in the U.S.—and It Has Gorgeous Beaches and Endless Sunshine
We've only got a few more magical weeks of summer left in 2025, so it's key to soak in and enjoy every minute. And the best place to do just that is in one sunny, West Coast city. In early June, BetMGM Casino released its list of the best "feel-good" cities for summer as part of its seasonal city entertainment analysis. The list ranked 15 popular U.S. cities based on a handful of key metrics that make a destination fun, including the number of outdoor dining venues available, the number of nature trails, ice cream stores, dog parks, swimming pools, wellness events, sunshine hours, summer temperatures, and the number of live music events scheduled between June and August 2025. After reviewing all the available information, Los Angeles was named the No. 1 feel-good city in the nation. "Los Angeles, famous for its gorgeous beaches, Hollywood stars, and palm trees, is the ultimate destination to take in some feel-good vibes this summer," the findings revealed. "You only need to glimpse the city to see its beautiful mix of urban city, greenery, and sandy beaches." The team noted that Los Angeles offers travelers pristine summer weather, thanks to its average temperature of 73.4, and with 986 hours of sunshine throughout the season. It's also a great place to find a little zen thanks to its 240 wellness facilities, including yoga, dance classes, and Reiki sessions. "This city offers plenty of swimming pools for those particularly warm days, and hundreds of parks to explore with an ice cream," it added. "It's no wonder L.A. ranks first on this list. The city is set up to feel like a California dream." However, East Coasters aren't far behind on the fun, with New York City ranking as No. 2 on the list. "America's most famous city is best known for its iconic landmarks, food, and entertainment. While it's a huge hotspot for tourists during Christmas, it's also a fantastic city vacation spot for summer, filled with activities and healthy living," the team stated in the findings. They also noted that the city ranked so highly thanks to its "fantastic amount of summer-friendly facilities for its incredible population size of over 8 million people." It too has plenty of sunshine over the season, 800 hours in total, and "is fantastic for exploring over 304 miles of nature trails, and has 107 ice cream stores within 1 mile of the city's very center." Joining these two at the top of the list is Chicago at No. 3, followed by San Diego and Denver, rounding out the top five.

Lincoln Center's K-Music Night Brings Korean Rock to NYC
If you think K-pop is the only music South Korea has to offer, it's time to expand your playlist. The country has a long history with various types of music, including rock, which is currently experiencing a notable resurgence there. And this week, New York City audiences will get to witness the energy of Korean rock music live at Lincoln Center. K-Music Night returns to NYC's Lincoln Center with three stellar Korean rock bands On Wednesday, August 6th, New York City's famed Lincoln Center will host K-Music Night—a free outdoor concert at Damrosch Park that will feature three standout Korean rock bands: Kim Changwan Band, TOUCHED and Monday Feeling. What is Lincoln Center's K-Music Night? Presented in partnership with the Korean Cultural Center NY and the Korea Creative Content Agency New York Center, K-Music Night is an outdoor music festival that showcases some of South Korea's established and emerging rock acts. This is the third time in recent years that Lincoln Center has held a Korean rock concert as part of its Summer for the City series, following the remarkable success of the first two. Previously branded as 'K-Indie Music Night,' the K-rock celebration featured Jannabi and byebyesea in 2022 and Crying Nut and Say Sue Me in 2023. To commemorate the 80th anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japan during World War II, this year's program offers an expanded lineup that includes one of South Korea's most legendary rock bands from the '70s and '80s, a young co-ed ensemble that's one of the hottest rock acts in Korea today, and an indie quartet whose genre-blending sound has captured a growing international following. For folks who live in NYC or will be visiting on August 6th, it'll be a rare opportunity to see three Korean rock acts—all with very different styles—perform on one stage at an iconic New York venue. Who's playing at Lincoln Center's K-Music Night? This year's K-Music Night features a multigenerational lineup of three Korean rock bands, each with their own distinctive sound: Kim Chang-wan is a Korean rock legend and a true Renaissance man. In addition to being a composer and singer-songwriter, he's an award-winning actor, radio DJ, book author, poet and painter. Many international K-drama fans will recognize him from classic K-dramas like Coffee Prince and My Love from the Star, but in Korea he's also renowned as the leader of Sanullim (sometimes spelled Sanulrim), one of the most iconic and influential rock bands in South Korean history. Kim formed the band in 1977 with his two brothers Kim Chang-hoon and Kim Chang-ik, and for the next few decades they helped shape the course of Korean music with their eclectic mix of sounds that ranged from garage rock to folk rock to even disco. After Kim Chang-ik tragically passed away in an accident in 2008, Sanullim disbanded, and Kim Chang-wan started his own eponymous band. Currently consisting of himself (vocals/guitar), Lee Sang-hoon (keyboard), Choi Won-sik (bass), Kang Yoon-gi (drums) and Yeom Min-yeol (guitar), the Kim Changwan Band performs reinterpretations of Sanullim's greatest hits alongside original tracks that address universal themes like love and sorrow. The band continues to push creative boundaries with their broad sonic palette and through collaborations with a diverse array of Korean artists, from K-pop stars like IU and Stray Kids to the experimental post-rock group Jambinai. After their first-place win at the annual Yoo Jae-ha Music Contest (one of South Korea's oldest and most prestigious competitions for singer-songwriters) in 2020, TOUCHED has gone on to win numerous other Korean music competitions, including Mnet's Great Seoul Invasion, a televised battle of K-rock bands that catapulted TOUCHED to national stardom in 2022. Since then, the co-ed band has rapidly risen to become one of Korea's most exciting rock acts. Currently comprised of frontwoman Yunmin (vocals and guitar), Kim Seungbin (drums), John B. Kim (bass) and Chea Dohyeon (keyboard), TOUCHED has played at various festivals across Asia and Europe (including Germany's famed Reeperbahn Festival) and has been praised for their explosive live shows. In 2023 the band was named one of '10 Korean Rock Artists You Should Listen To' by the GRAMMY Awards. Hard to categorize but impossible to ignore, Monday Feeling blends elements of country, pop, hard rock and everything in between. Currently consisting of vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Ian Choi, bassist Abel, drummer Rudi and lead guitarist and producer Jay, the four-piece band has won various rock festivals on their home turf over the years and advanced to the semifinals of the Emergenza Festival, the world's leading competition for unsigned bands. With a wide-ranging repertoire that includes songs sung in English, Korean and Japanese, Monday Feeling has previously toured Japan and performed at legendary Hollywood venues like The Viper Room and Whisky a Go Go. How to attend K-Music Night at Lincoln Center Seats are first-come, first-served. Guests can also book Fast Track tickets (also free), which provide priority access to the venue up until 10 minutes before showtime.
