A true reflection of Kauai’s beauty, nature’s spectacular setting is Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa’s legacy. Set on the soothing white sands of Poipu, on Kauai’s sunny south shore, 50 oceanfront acres of discovery await. Classic Hawaiian style architecture featuring open courtyards and pathways venture through verdant gardens and azure pools, keeping the resort’s atmosphere informal and reflective of Hawaii’s climate and culture. Gracefully appointed guest rooms embody the resort’s natural elegance and commitment to environmental conservation, creating a true sense of place.
Spend days relaxing in the multi-level water wonderland with a quiet adult pool area, meandering river pool, waterslide, and saltwater lagoon. Championship golf awaits at Poipu Bay Golf Course, offering stunning views and challenging play. Savor the flavors of the island Hawaiian-style at Tidepools, set over a koi-filled lagoon at the base of a waterfall, where you’ll dine on the freshest local fish and succulent steaks. Other restaurants feature contemporary American cuisine or sushi. And for a spa experience like no other, Anara Spa’s lavish treatments, offered in an open-air garden setting, use traditional healing methods and island-fresh botanicals to refresh and renew. An extraordinary experience awaits, where impeccable service and lavish amenities greet you at every turn.

Aug 26, 2026Lovely setting and rather expensive for the offerings
Tastefully decorated and beautiful grounds. The Seaview restaurant in the lobby has a spectacular view of the ocean. The rooms were somewhat aged but still very clean and spacious. Staff was mostly charming — except the very unfriendly ladies at the Honolulu Coffee shop early mornings. Ouch girls! There was very little entertainment and little food variety on the property. If you didn’t have a car it would become very monotonous after a few days. I would have expected more for the price.

Aug 25, 2026I would highly recommend!
I absolutely loved my time at this hotel. The grounds are impeccible, the resort is beautiful and the multiple pools provide an amazing experience. You can cheaply rent floaties, sunscreen is available, and there is even a slide (that many adults including me enjoyed) All the staff is extremely friendly / accomodating. From check-in, to exit when no ubers/lyfts would show up for over a half hour the bell desk called in a favor to someone who drove us to the airport in time to catch our flight home (that is truly five star service). The Captain's Bar Staff, who I interacted with the most were amazing, all incredibly nice. The food was good. The best food I had was in the center of the hotel at the patio overlooking the ocean. The breakfast buffet was fine (but I am never amazed by those). Normally at hotels there is not much included in the resort fee. I will say there are so many activities on property to do and other items included the resort fee. Rarely do American hotels have hospitality lounges with showers. Having a shower in the late afternoon before my redeye back home was critical in enjoying my last day in Kauai. Side note - I am a very good swimmer and the ocean was extremely rough. Yes it had a reg flag but I am swam in many conditions. I caution all swimmers to not go in the ocean if that flag is up. I would reccomend this hotel to any of my friends/family.

Aug 24, 2026Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa
Overall, we had a very good stay at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa. The resort is beautiful, clean, and very well maintained, and the staff throughout the property were friendly and welcoming. That said, both the resort and our rooms felt somewhat worn and outdated. Considering the price charged for the rooms, I believe the property is due for a renovation and could use some updating. I especially want to recognize the housekeeping staff. They did an excellent job, and Luzviminda Austria was exceptional. She was friendly, attentive, and took great care of our rooms. Employees like her truly make a difference in the guest experience. My only real disappointment was our check-in experience. We arrived around 11:00 AM and completely understood that the official check-in time was 4:00 PM. We had three rooms, and the front desk employee told us they should be ready shortly. Based on that information, we had lunch and then waited in the lobby. Around 2:00 PM, we checked again and were once again told the rooms should be ready shortly. At approximately 3:45 PM, after waiting for several hours, we checked again and were told that our rooms were ready. The employee apologized that no one had called or texted to let us know. I wish the front desk staff had simply been upfront with us when we arrived and said that the rooms likely would not be available until the 4:00 PM check-in time. Had we known that, we would have opened our suitcases, changed into appropriate clothing, and spent the afternoon enjoying the pool and beach instead of waiting around the lobby expecting the rooms to be ready at any moment. Overall, it was still a very enjoyable stay. With some renovations and a more communicative and personable approach at the front desk, the Grand Hyatt Kauai could provide an experience that better matches the premium price and the otherwise excellent level of service we received.

Aloha and ohana at the Grand Hyatt Kauai
Had a lovely time at the Grand Hyatt Kauai! The hotel is lovely with a fabulous pool experience and beach. The staff is professional and attentive to your needs, and the Anara Spa is phenomenal - ask for Bernardo and get a mana loom massage with him, and a mani/pedi with Tai. We look forward to coming back.
