Mar 18, 2025Tropical paradise with a mix of everything.
Great resort. It has a mix of family and fun to quiet and secluded. If you are wanting a quiet visit, the suites are the place. The adult pools are also wonderful. You have it all in one location. The spa is also amazing. This resort is great because you look out to the ocean and do not see anything else.

Lots of fun, a beautiful spot.
We stayed here for 4 nights in mid-March 2025. A high point is the lovely walk/hike along the adjacent Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail, accessible from Shipwreck Beach in front of the resort. That's a gorgeous walk. The most interesting part is when you head east along the cliffs, but walking to the west is also very nice (and much flatter). In March, if you look carefully, you can sometimes spot whales spouting, or even breaching, offshore. One day there was a massive monk seal on the beach. The hotel staff were very professional and friendly. There's a huge central atrium, and during the day, large exotic birds can be seen there. The view of the ocean is fantastic, and the time around sunrise is very popular with jetlagged folks from mainland US. Not much swimming at the beach, due to huge waves (at least when we were there) but good bodysurfing IF you're comfortable in heavy surf. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and included great fresh fruit and homemade juice shots. For dinner inside the resort, Tidepools was exorbitant and boring, while Stevenson's Library was lively and fun.

Great anniversary trip!
The resort is gorgeous and privacy was great. We ate at three of the restaurants, the Seaview Bar, and didn’t have time to visit the others. Amazing pools! We did the luau and it was ok. Entertaining but less traditional than we anticipated. The food was good. The beach is nice but rocky and not really a snorkelers beach. I love that they provided water bottles and dispensers. Lots of things to do nearby but not in walking distance. They have an evening shuttle that goes to Poipu and Koloa, which was great. We loved the lobby and resident parrots! We would definitely go back!

Even more stunning than in pictures!!!
The property is absolutely stunning. Even prettier than in pictures. A+++. Grounds are lush. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Excellent location on the warmer part of the island. By far the most beautiful hotel on Kauai. Will definitely be back!

Mar 14, 2025Beautiful Resort
We celebrated our 20th Wedding Anniversary and chose to stay at The Grand Hyatt. The resort was beautiful and the rooms were very clean, nice and spacious. I loved the lazy pool, the salt water pool and the beach just steps away. I would definitely recommend the hotel and will return on my next vacation to Kauai.
