Hotel overview

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.

    Great honeymoon, go else where if money is a concern

    Incredible spot to see… for two nights and two days. It’s like 1000 bucks per night and that matters to a lot of people on their honeymoon! Very few things are “resort guests only” Stay there for two nights and use the place to your hearts content. Then MOVE ON. Plenty of more affordable options on north shore or even in poipu proper. Not missing much by staying elsewhere the rest of your trip! Mahalo 🤙

    Overall Quality

    Every part of this stay was high quality: service, food, spa, pools/lazy river, beaches. If you are taller than 5'6" and/or a little plump I would recommend bringing your own float/tube, they are available to rent but they are kid/adult size and were too small for my comfort (I'm 5'10"). Specific food recommendation: Tidepools restaurant dish Hawaiian Catch.

    Outstanding Hotel

    This hotel is exceptional. Upon arrival our room concerns were promptly addressed with kindness and professionalism. Steph at the front desk went above and beyond to assist us, answering our questions and ensuring our guest experience was first class. The hotel, pool and food service is simply outstanding. We had 3 rooms that were all well appointed, clean and stocked with top amenities. Our family and the kids can't stop talking about the fun they had in the pools and beach. The saltwater lagoon and water slide was their favorites. We cannot say enough great things about this hotel. The breath taking view when you walk in the hotel is enhanced by the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff who continually reinforced that they are dedicated to first class guest experience. The food service at the Hale Nalu was terrific and the staff was super friendly and helpful. We also ate at Tidepools and despite some mixed reviews we had read, our family of 11 was treated very well and had a terrific meal. We also had the daily breakfast buffet, which was one of the best we have had anywhere.

    Beautiful location

    Grand Hyatt Kauai is like no other. From the point you walk through the large doors into the open-air lobby, looking straight into the ocean, you forget where you are. 3 amazing pools, swings overlooking the ocean, and luxurious rooms. Everything you could ever ask for in 1 location. Shopping, spa, bars, and amazing restaurants fit all your needs. Grand Club is a tier above the rest! Cultural activities each day to enjoy, close to Lihue with only a 25 min drive from the airport. Highly recommend for honeymooners and families. Kauai is hands down the best Hawaiian Island, with the Grand Hyatt the icing on the cake!
