Thermen Hotels in Poipu

My wife and I came to the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa for a family wedding. Let me say first off, the facility is beautiful. Stunning views are found around every turn. When you first enter the main lobby, there is an open view of the ocean, which is just breathtaking. If you are looking for gorgeous scenery, the Grand Hyatt Kauai will not disappoint. The staff here are incredible. We spent a great deal of time at the pool. Servers speed back and forth between guest taking drink and food orders. I was amazed at how hard and efficiently these people worked. Just spectacular. I mean, what can be easier than sitting on a chaise lounge, placing an order and having food and drink delivered? There are several pools on property. On the top level nearest the hotel is the adult pool. You have to be 14 or older to use the pool. Below this pool is the main pool, which is huge. There are lots of little hidden nooks and a waterfall where you can steal some alone time with your loved ones or friends. A saltwater lagoon/pool is located nearer the ocean. There is also a lazy river if you just want to float peacefully along on the water. The one area that was disappointing was the food. It’s Hawaii, so you have to go in knowing everything is expensive. My wife and I routinely dropped one-hundred dollars on what can best be described as mediocre food. If you eat on property, you are paying a premium for the experience, and receiving less than premium dinning. This is no reflection on the staff, who again are wonderful, it is just the food is meh. We did not eat at the Tide Pools steak house, so they are not included in this review. The overall experience at the Gran Hyatt Kauai is fabulous. Stunning views, attentive staff, top notch service, but the food at the various eateries we ate at was underwhelming and disappointing for the amount of money paid to stay at this lovely resort.
