May 14, 2025This resort needs a vacation!
We’ve stayed at this resort three times over the past 30 years, and it holds a lot of great memories for us. That’s why it’s disappointing to say that this most recent visit didn’t quite live up to what we remembered. The resort feels like it’s in need of a little care — a refresh or light renovation could go a long way in bringing back the charm it once had. Things just felt a bit worn, like the property itself could use a vacation. Tidepools, in particular, was a letdown. While the setting is still beautiful, the quality and portion size of the food didn’t match expectations, especially for a signature restaurant. We truly hope to see this place restored to its former excellence. With some updates and attention to detail, it could be the five-star experience it once was.

May 14, 2025Almost 5 star!
This was going to be a 5 star review, but! This is a beautiful, luxury resort, but it is very expensive, so I would expect it to be. We enjoyed our stay, but there are two items that just didn't meet my expectations. First, the rooms aren't the cleanest for this level of resort. Second, we have 8:30 pm flights and asked for a late checkout. I am a Hyatt member, this is our second visit, and no way is the resort super full/busy. I asked at check-in, and was told it shouldn't be a problem, but to check back the night before. Well, for some reason, it now is a problem, and we couldn't have a later checkout. I would expect them to do this for a Hyatt member, especially when the resort isn't busy. We did not do the luau, since we have attended one in the past. We did not use the spa. Not our thing. The pool was beautiful and clean. The service pool side was great. We had no problem getting lounges. There were many empty ones. There was also a 'beach' area, that provided loungers in the sand, and a swim area that was an ocean salt 'pool'. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful. The breakfast buffet was good, but we found the one at the Fairmont in Maui to be better. There are many stores and restaurants close by. We had a car, so we enjoyed visiting several places on the island. Kauai is beautiful.

Beautiful Kauai Resort
This is almost a 5 star review! It's a sprawling resort that with lush grounds with beautiful interiors and pool areas (of which there are many). It really does feel luxurious and the staff is wonderful. My 4 star rating is that while our room was lovely and had an ocean view, it just felt a teeny bit tired. We were on a work trip, so did not pay for anything! But, if I were paying on my own, for the price, I would expect just a bit more polish. However, I still highly recommend this as a great resort, if someone else is paying, or you can afford the bill!

May 14, 2025Grand Hyatt is 5 stars!!
The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa was spectacular. We arrived early and they didn’t offer an upgrade, so we inquired and the front desk attendant printed our view vs the others available, and we agreed to keep the one we had-it was already amazing overlooking the resort’s pool and could see the ocean. We used the bellhop service as we were early and couldn’t check in yet (room wasn’t ready). We utilized the pool and had lunch twice at the Hale Nalu quick service (the quesadillas were delicious). We enjoyed the daily morning buffet at the Ilima Terrace. It was one of the best buffets I have ever seen. It was in our package, but FYI gratuity was not included. This hotel offers a hospitality lounge if you’re flying out late/early to use showers/changing rooms etc. We did store our bags with the bellhop and utilized this lounge before we departed for the airport. One night we went to Poipu Beach to see about 30 giant turtles. On our last evening we walked the well it area along the beach and came back to the hotel lobby for live music. We enjoyed the many parrots that reside in the lobby. There are so many pools!! We loved our room too which had a comfortable bed and sofa. The balcony was good sized as well. I was able to squeeze in a yoga session and see the gym/spa area. Alan the instructor was fabulous!
