Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa

The Best Resorts in Hawaii: 2020 Readers’ Choice Awards

"Surrounded by gardens and lagoons, the low-rise, beachfront Grand Hyatt has an open-air design that recalls Hawaii in the 1920s and ’30s. Rooms have white-marble–tiled entryways and rain showers, and terraces are furnished in mahogany with traditional Hawaiian-print linens. Enjoy sushi and spirits at Stevenson's, or surf and turf at Tidepools, which was built to resemble huts floating in a lagoon. Book an appointment at the Anara Spa, where the facials and full-body massages are taken under a hale, a thatched roof bungalow, and the scent of vanilla oil mingles with fragrant floral overgrowth. Or, simply float down a lava-rock lined lazy river pool past waterfalls." - Caitlin Morton
