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

Great Resort
The Grand Hyatt Kauai was a suberb luxury hotel. The pools and grounds were absolutely beautiful and very well-maintained. The staff at the hotel was extremely friendly - we ate at the breakfast buffet at the hotel every morning which was delicious and the wait staff welcomed us by name every morning. The restaurants at the hotel, although very expensive (like every restaurant in Poipu), were outstanding. We will definitely return to this hotel when we plan our next visit to Kauai!

Exceptional Property - the nicest we've stayed at yet!
Whoever did the space planning for the facility gets top awards. We loved every inch of the facility with its beautiful views, exceptional landscaping, amazing pool and lagoon area, and overall wonderful vacation spot. When we arrived I was so happy we had chosed this hotel - we absolutely loved the pool area - they have an upper and lower pool, and all areas are intertwined with waterfalls, bridges, landscaping, waterslide, jacuzzi's, and more - you don't feel like you are at a big pool because there are so many areas to choose from for seating - but the pool itself interconnects so you can paddle around to different areas which keeps it interesting.

1. Tide pools in Grand Hyatt was romantic 2. The Beach House restaurant had great sunset views (reserve a seat by the ocean), but food was O.K. and was expensive. 4. Roy's seafood restaurant was expensive and food wasn't that good. 3. Visit the old town of Koloa. Good small restaurant in town and a great ice cream store at Lapperts.

Great Customer Service
Every employee at the Grand Hyatt, from the cleaning staff to the front desk personnel, was friendly, helpful, and professional. WE were amazed at the customer service. We have never been pampered like that before.

"Beautiful resort"
Our wonderful getaway to the Grand Hyatt will be the first trip of many hopefully to Kauai. The front desk staff were truly amazing and very personable.We had a late arrival and were upgraded to an ocean view room. We enjoyed the location of the Shipwreck Building as it was close to the pools. But the resort is so spectacular it was enjoyable to wander the property. We had heard so many reports of the prices being outrageous on the property but we found going out to dinner we ordered appetizers or Puu Puu's and it seemed to do us fine and not too pricey. We attended the Lu'au at the Hyatt and it was a wonderful evening. Nice not to have to drive back to the hotel after enjoying our cocktails. The hotel was very quiet and provided the perfect vacation for us. We were sad to leave but hope to return soon. The Thomson's from Canada.

Recharge and Relax
The concierge gave exceptional service. The hotel staff were all kind and helpful. The grounds were beautiful, lush and well maintained. The location was perfect. We were close to alot of attractions. When we were at the resort it was peaceful and secluded. The spa and gym were a good way to start our day. The golf course was world class with amazing views.

Luxury and fun!
The grounds are beautiful and enormous. There is something for everyone, beach, lazy river, pool, jacuzzi, water slide. People of all ages could find a place to relax and enjoy the beauty. Staff was great, changed our extra room to include 2 beds so our kids didn't have to share even though we were already in the original room. Only complaint, internet should be free.
