Nestled on the picturesque island of Kauai, the Grand Hyatt Kauai offers a luxurious retreat that promises serenity and world-class hospitality.

Our stay began in the spacious and comfortable standard two queen bedroom located on the sixth floor. The room is thoughtfully designed, boasting ample space for a family of four, complete with a pull-out sleeper chair featuring a plush memory foam mattress. A touch of luxury is evident in every detail—from the complimentary champagne to the specially made toiletries by the on-site Anara Spa with their enticing mango coconut fragrance. The room also provides eco-friendly amenities like reusable water bottles, filling the needs of conscious travelers.
