The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa is a wonderful hotel for families and young couples, with a very cool multi-level pool area and enough restaurants to please everyone.

We had a very nice dinner in their Tidepools restaurant which is in a very unique setting. It’s an open air thatched hut with waterfalls and koi-filled lagoons, which create a quiet and romantic atmosphere. There were so many wonderful fish dishes offered, I had a difficult time choosing! We enjoyed the Stevenson Library each evening, sitting in their living room like seating arrangements and enjoying fresh sushi and sashimi made to order.

The service at the Grand Hyatt Kauai was very good, from the check in, to the wait staff, to the valet people. The pool service was almost non-existent, however, since this area covers so much ground, I can see why they can not service everyone. The rooms were recently renovated and looked very fresh. There was a bit of a motel feel in the bathrooms due to the rubber shower mat and plastic shower curtain, but overall, I would recommend this resort for families and for people not spoiled by properties like the Four Seasons and the Ritz Carlton. For older people or those who have difficulty walking, you should request a room in the main building as the walking path is uneven and can be wet walking from one building to the other.
