Reminiscent of the classic Hawaiian hideaways of the 1920s and 1930s, the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa is located along the soothing white-sand beaches of the island’s south shore. This 565-room luxury resort has award-winning restaurants, a super spa, numerous swimming options and a well-equipped business center. There is an 18-hole Robert Trent designed golf course next to the resort and close by are museums, art galleries and shopping. The resort makes a spectacular venue for a wedding with over 65,000 square feet of indoor function space or large formal gardens for an outdoor ceremony.
Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
This is a honeymooner’s paradise. Many couples who have stayed here were amazed at the quality of the amenities and wonderful service. Words of advice from former guests: The more expensive rooms, with a view of the ocean, are worth the extra money. Families who have stayed here said they never needed to leave the resort since there was so much to do. Minor gripe was that since this is such a large resort there is a lot of walking involved.
