Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa

We are just concluding a fabulous week at the Grand Hyatt, and I wanted to submit my review while things were still fresh. This hotel is stunning. The lobby is a bit art deco but so charming, and open all the way to the ocean. We checked in and I had booked a basic garden view room and we were upgraded to a partial ocean view which was very nice. No need to spend extra money - the basic room was fine for us. We ate at all the restaurants, and the sushi restaurant we went twice. Seaview Terrace was our least favorite - food was good but tables were low and was more like patio seating. Difficult to eat a proper meal. Nice to have live music and hula dancers though. We only ate breakfast once in our entire week since we opted to go to the pool earlier in the morning. However, I think $51 per person for breakfast buffet was bit ridiculous. Food and variety was on point just pricy. The hotel offers a "shuttle" for a 5 mile radius to go off property free of charge and that was a great amenity. We did eat off property twice and without a car it was a great option. Don't worry about having to wake up at 6 am to save chairs at the pool. Towel hut opens at 8 am and the pool was very quiet until after 10 am every day. Was very strange but not unwelcome. Pool side food was great, recommend the fish tacos. One additional item - wish there were a few extra restaurants on property, just to mix things up a bit. Sadly we will be leaving soon but if you are reading this and debating whether this is the hotel for you on Kauai - DO IT!

I sent my daughter an son-in-law their on there honeymoon. No one seemed to care. They got a bag with champagne that they had to carry to their room. My daughter was not happy. If you are looking for a romantic get away where someone pays attention to you, try a Four Seasons hotel.

The hotel was massive with many beautiful gardens, ponds, restaurants, pools, salt water lagoons. The grounds were kept clean constantly. Will be returning soon

We had an incredible sunset photo session with Obrayan from Pacific Dream Photography at the Grand Hyatt Kauai. What drew us to the session was that the purchase of photos was completely optional, which was a huge bonus for us since we were initially unsure if we were going to keep the pictures. We are so glad we did! The photos turned out so beautiful that we decided to use them as our maternity pictures. Our photographer, Obrayan, was patient, kind, and incredibly helpful throughout the shoot. He had even researched and saved several maternity poses for us to try, which made the experience so much easier. He helped us with our posing and was open to trying new, fun shots, including some in the ocean. This is a great option for vacation, maternity, or any special occasion, and you can't beat the stunning beach location!

Got back a couple of weeks ago from a fantastic September week at the Grand Hyatt. The grounds are truly incredible - with views everywhere you look. The hotel has the best pool on the island, with tons of cute romantic spots and private areas for people to escape. The whole property has been meticulously maintained - with many outdoor areas, fantastic restaurants, and a fantastic 24/7 gym and spa. We loved the 1.5 hour coastal hike available right off the property, and catching sunsets and viewing the stars from all the lovely seating around. Seeing multiple seals on the beach took the cake! The entire staff was so friendly and helpful - you can tell they love making people’s vacations memorable. Special shout out to Eric who made us feel welcome from the first moment and Tin who helped us plan a lovely week! The entire Grand Club team provided fantastic service and food. We're so sad we had to leave and will absolutely be back!
