The Grand Hyatt in Kauai has got it all. 50 acres of beautifully maintained gardens, 600 rooms, 3 distinct swimming pools, an extravagant breakfast buffet, oceanfront views, a water slide, an overpriced restaurant, elegant bar, and poolside drinks. This hotel accommodates all manners of visitors from newlyweds, families with kids, gray haired vacationers, to sun seekers. It is a huge property and our oceanfront room was on the extreme western edge of the building taking more than 700 steps to reach the lobby. About 1000 steps to reach the pool area. While all areas are accessible, an electric scooter is highly recommended for people with mobility issues. The red flags are always flying on Shipwreck Beach. So don't plan on surfing or swimming here unless you are highly skilled. Instead, use the salt water pool (complete with beach sand} for swimming. Some people at the Grand Hyatt shop at Costco and bring food and drinks to their room, others will order carry-out, some will spring for the $52 breakfast buffet or the $7 coffee in the lobby bar, a $20 cocktail and $25 burger at the pool, eat excellent sushi at Stevenson's library, or splurge at the over-rated Tidepools restaurant. All are welcome here. We spend 8 nights here and loved it. Read less

The resort is beautiful, the staff is friendly and welcoming, the food is tasty! We had a wonderful trip! The valet service was incredible, the staff ensured that we had a great time by providing towels and helping us with removing the top off the jeep and then replacing it.

We spent 3 nights at this beautiful resort about 20 minutes drive from Lihue Airport, among the most idyllic settings anywhere. We enjoyed the helpful & friendly staff, quiet ambience, the gorgeous garden landscaping, the Pacific vistas from our room balcony, the pools, lagoon and beach. The red flags prevented ocean swimming, but we walked along the beach path & watched surfers challenge the waves. Evenings were magical with a full moon over the beach's adjacent cliffs. The breakfast buffets (included in our package) were outstanding. Our personal favorite was the poached salmon, but there was something for everyone. We ate a delicious fresh fish dinner one night at the Seaview Terrace with a live guitarist and unsurprisingly, a sea view. There are numerous restaurants and shopping areas close by. The hotel runs an evening shuttle to those, but I recommend a car rental, since there are also attractions to see beyond the hotel grounds, but one could easily spend many days taking advantage of the resort facilities. Thanks, Hyatt, for a wonderful, memorable and relaxing vacation. Read less

This resort is the most beautiful and wonderful place in Hawaii! Have been coming here for years! Unfortunately, they fell seriously short of prior experiences this time. Staff was unhelpful, property was in bad need of repair, which they decided to do all at once, making my experience full of construction noise and mess and inconvenience the entire week long vacation. This was not the Grand Hyatt experience I expected nor paid for. Read less

If you want a first class, relaxing, and perfect 52-acre resort experience on Kauai, this is the place for you. The location, layout, and focus on the ocean will leave you breathless. And above that, the rooms, food and staff will compliment the experience.
