Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa

This is one of our very favorite places to visit and our most recent stay did not disappoint! There are so many gorgeous places to visit on Kauai but we also love to spend a day just relaxing and watching the ocean.

The east-side ocean-view rooms didn’t justify the upgrade cost. The view is partially obstructed by a busy park during the day and a small structure that appears to be a janitorial building. Ask for the west side, our other family members stayed there, and it had infinitely better views and quieter.

we had such a lovely time. This property is amazing, beautiful views, friendly staff, great food, you never have to leave , they have everything on site.

We were very excited to visit Kauai, and the Grand Hyatt came highly recommended. The pool complex is wonderful, Tidepool restaurant was also excellent. You can also take easy hikes up to scenic views of the beach and ocean. However.... at $900 a night we were quite disappointed with the property as a whole. We were put in a wing that was close to an area being remodeled, which the hotel really needs. Of course the noise and inconvenience of having to go outside to get to ur room, especially in the rain was a negative. Room decor and carpet are dated, we were shocked at the condition of room doors as we walked down the hall. Doors with wood cracking and wood chipped out, elevators with heavy rust spots that were painted over. Just not what we expected from a supposed 5 star resort. Housekeeping has to be requested, however our Housekeeper was excellent. All in all we just have a hard time recommending the Hyatt. The wonderful pool complex just doesn't offset the degenerating condition of the hotel on a whole. Especially at the premium you have to pay.

The location on the beach with coastal walks available is a highlight of this property. It is a beautiful, well cared for property. We enjoyed the selection of food and beverage options.
