On a secluded beach close to Poipu sits the beautiful resort of the Grand Hyatt Kauai. Nestled on the shores of the Garden Isle, tropical grounds overflow with exotic flowers and birds around the subtle hotel buildings as they sweep down to the beach. From this base on the south of the island it is easy to explore Kauai. Make the drive to stunning Waimea Canyon or follow the coast road to Pricnceville. Back at the hotel, golfers will be in heaven at the Robert Trent Jones Jr designed golf course, or for those looking for a more sedate way to pass the time head to the hotel’s Anara Spa, the largest spa on Kauai, where open air treatments allow you to relax to the sounds of the swaying palms and the gentle surf. Kids will enjoy a full day of fun and making friends at the hotel’s Kids’ Club, Camp Hyatt, where they also get to meet the hotel’s resident parrots. When you need a break from the sightseeing, retreat to the hotel’s series of pools and lagoons. Offering a truly idyllic way to pass a day, float down the lazy river, recline beneath waterfalls, find a quiet niche or whizz down the waterslide. There is also a quiet adults-only pool. With 8 bars and restaurants at the hotel there is no shortage of fantastic food and drink, from a relaxed tiki bar beside the pool to traditional Hawaiian cuisine in Tidepools and Italian food al fresco at Dondero’s. Standard Rooms each have a private balcony and are decorated in light tones with floral designs inspired by the island. Upgrade to a View Room for a guaranteed views over the pools and gardens.
