Opulent Poipu resort is both playground and blissful retreat
Acres of saltwater lagoons and freshwater pools, grottos, waterfalls, and an extravagance of tropical blooms create a setting so lush it could be a movie backdrop for the ultimate island love story. Tranquil but playful -- who can resist a 150-foot water slide? -- the AAA Four Diamond Grand Hyatt Kauai inspires thoughts of paradise. For spa-lovers it may well be paradise since Anara Spa added its blissful garden sanctuary. Yet golfers, kayakers and tennis players will also find idyllic ways to while away the hours … or days.Highlights
- 45,000-square-foot Anara Spa
- Camp Hyatt (ages 3-12), now partnered with National Geographic Kids
- Adjacent Shipwreck Beach, where "Six Days Seven Nights" was filmed
Rooms
Decor at the Grand Hyatt Kauai is "Classic Hawaiian" with warm hues and rich woods. There are more than 600 rooms, each with lanai or balcony, but the resort doesn't feel crowded thanks to meandering paths and waterways that create a multitude of secluded, peaceful areas.Features
It is hard to peg the resort as ideal for couples or families, lovers or adventurers, golfers or kayakers, because it is for all of the above. Romantics find hidden nooks among the gardens and lagoons and in the serene spa. Tranquil lagoons beckon to kayakers while golfers can take the challenge posed by Poipu Bay Golf Course, where distractions include whales breaching just offshore. Parents have bonding time with children during cultural and family activities, and adult time while kids play and learn in highly regarded Camp Hyatt. A twice-weekly luau and Polynesian revue is for everyone.Dining
There are nearly a dozen restaurants, bars, and snack venues at the Grand Hyatt Kauai, including an espresso bar where caffeine junkies can jump-start the day at 5:30 a.m. Stevenson's Library channels the ambiance of a Victorian gentleman's club (ladies welcome), a cozy spot for late-night Cognac or Port. Reserve in advance to dine at Dondero's, the only AAA Four Diamond restaurant on Kauai.Transportation

Grand Hyatt Kauai
Absolutely perfect. Beautiful setting right on the beach. The resort has three pools and a salt water lagoon. Its great for a leisurely stroll, as there are hammocks and swing chairs scattered about to take in the gorgeous scenerey. The staff was very friendly and accomadating. Great options for dining. It's a little pricey but definetely worth it.

Awesome hotel
Amazing hotel. It is hands down worth the price tag. My wife and I spent 10 days here for our honeymoon. They upgraded our room for free and sent a complimentary bottle of champagne to our room. Very clean and well kept. It never felt crowded. Service was excellent. The staff is always helpful and friendly, and happy to assist you in any way possible. The last day we were there, our flight didn't leave until 10pm. They let us freshen up in a complimentary room for about an hour before we left the hotel. Drinks and food are also expensive, but again, very good. Stevenson's Library was a highly frequented spot for us.

WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL!
This resort was absolutely breathtaking in beauty and five star ++++ in every other way. I had a Deluxe Ocean View room and "the view" was phenomenal! I left the sliding door open every night and was lulled to sleep by the waves below! Customer service was superb....there's always someone at the resort asking if they can help you in any way. My refrigerator and wireless internet in my room weren't working properly and in each case the "tech" was at my door with ID showing within 5 minutes! The grounds were gorgeous and I especially liked the adult only pool! The sushi at Stevinsons Library (at the resort) was top notch!! I also had dinner at Dondero's and the asian restaurant at their golf course(can't remember the name) and the food was very good at both places as was the customer service!! I drove to Waimea Canyon and the drive was lovely and the views of the canyon were breathtaking! The breakfast buffet was also very good!! I can't wait to go back. I've been to Maui also but I will probably still go back to the Grand Hyatt in Kauai with my next trip to Hawaii!

Friendly staff, fantastic views
Without exception the hotel staff was friendly and helpful - five stars for them! Rooms were clean and good sized, view was beautiful over the pool lagoon (garden view was lawn and plants-just ok.) The hotel food and drinks were VERY pricey so suggest you eat out or stock the room 'fridge for breakfast at least. Pool and lagoon areas go on forever with plenty of room for all. Would totally go back - loved it!

Beautiful resort
Poipu is the best place to stay on Kauai. The Hyatt has top notch rooms and restaurants. The grounds are very well kept picture perfect in every direction. The salt water lagoon is a nice option for less adventures swimmers. Beautiful beach with walking trails in both directions.
