Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa – Luxury Hotel Review

By: Bound2explore December 31, 2022

Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa is one of the prettiest hotels in Kauai. The wide-open space with indoor garden overlooking the ocean filled with a nice summer breeze welcome you as you step your feet in their grand lobby. The employee will greet you with a flower lei as you arrive, which give you a total Hawaiian vibe before you even start your vacation.

Not to mention that the elite status holders will have their own dedicated line for check in. This beach front property certainly accommodates you in every way they can. As an elite status holder, the service they provided us went beyond our expectation. A complimentary bottle of champagne, a fruit platter, and coconut drinks. Since we don’t do alcoholic drink, they are kind enough to switch it with a cider drink. I meant, talk about accommodating, right? Based on our experience, here are the reasons why you should stay at Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa.

By: Bound2explore                               January 29, 2017
