“Excellent”
This is the ultimate Hawaii resort hotel. Gorgeous. Attentive staff. Good food.
“Fantastic Hotel”
We went to the Grand Hyatt for our honeymoon and it was amazing! Service was great. The hotel grounds are superbly maintained and very beautiful. It was paradise!
“honeymoon”
the hotel was amazing, had a great time
“great resort atmosphere”
This hotel is really beautiful and relaxing. If you want to get away and enjoy a relaxing time in a big luxurious place this is great. The only problem is if you're trying to see the whole island, the hotel is in a somewhat remote spot, so if you're doing the high adventure vacation you might want to go north or east. But the hotel and amenities were wonderful and the staff was great.
“Great Staff & Great property”
The Hyatt's grounds are nothing short of spectacular. With over 5 acres...yes, ACRES of pool area it was simply fabulous. Winding "rivers" take you from open areas, with hidden hot tubs. Be sure to look behind the waterfalls for secluded spots to share.... The staff was simply superb, greeting you by name at all times and going out of their way to make you feel comfortable. For a romantic evening, you may want to check out their "Share the Stars" program... You will have a VERY romantic dinner for two ON the beach, with you own personal wait staff. They also have a "picnic" basket program, that comes in a nice insulated pack with more than enough food for two... Enjoy.
“Another great stay at the Hyat”
We arrived late and tired to the Grand Hyatt after a long flight. Upon arrival, the staff was very attentive and quickly got us in the vacation mood. This is our 3rd time staying here and once again we were very pleased.
“The Place to Stay in Kauai”
If you are looking for a resort on Kauai that doesn't feel like a resort, with friendly and helpful staff, multiple pools and lagoons that never close, family fun and private getaways, this is then the Grand Hyatt in Kauai is the place for you. Our 7-year-old loved their Camp Hyatt program. The world-class spa was fantastic and had offerings for kids and grown-ups alike. Only complaint: smoothies were expensive. We love this place and would go again at the first opportunity.
“Fabulous hotel!”
Extremely satisfied with Grand Hyatt. I don't recall seeing grounds as beautifully landscaped and well kept as this hotel. It was my first trip to Hawaii and I think I have more pictures of the grounds than anywhere else. A true paradise.
“A wonderful hotel experience”
Our stay at the Grand Hyatt in Kauai was just about perfect. The staff was exceptionally warm and professional. At all the restaurants we were greeted by name and asked where we would like to be seated. Our room was lovely and the lanai was completely private. If we needed to stay at the hotel after check-out, we were told we would be given a room to shower and change. It doesn't get better than that!
“Views, Staff and Comfort sum up the Grand Hyatt”
The setting is stunning. The staff is wonderful and quick to serve but never in a panic which is a real pleasure when trying to destress after a long year of to much work and stress.
