About the property

What makes Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa worth the points.

Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa is a large beach resort at 1571 Poipu Road in Koloa, set on more than 50 acres on Kauai’s sunny south shore. The property sits directly on the white sands of Keoneloa Bay, also known as Shipwreck Beach, in the Poipu resort area. The resort is designed around open-air public spaces, tropical gardens, lagoons, and extensive water features. Its pool complex includes a lava-rock river pool with a waterslide, a separate quiet adults’ pool on an upper level, and a large saltwater lagoon near the shoreline. Guest accommodations total 602 rooms and suites, all with private lanais and separate sitting areas. About 70% of rooms have ocean or partial ocean views, while the remainder face the resort’s gardens or lagoons. On-site amenities are broad: Anara Spa provides full-service treatments and hydrotherapy features, the 24-hour fitness center supports workouts and classes, and tennis facilities add another recreation option. Dining ranges from fine dining at Tidepools to terrace drinks, open-air breakfast and lunch, and sushi at Stevenson’s.

Dining & club lounge

Where to eat, and where to unwind.

Tidepools
Upscale Hawai‘i-inspired seafood and local cuisine

The resort’s signature fine-dining restaurant is set over a koi pond and lagoon-style water features. Menus emphasize fresh local seafood and island ingredients in an atmospheric open-air setting.

Ilima Terrace
American and local fare

This open-air restaurant serves breakfast and lunch, including cooked-to-order breakfast for a fee. Its setting looks toward the resort’s gardens and ocean-facing grounds.

Seaview Terrace
Light bites and drinks

Seaview Terrace functions as a social bar and lounge area with ocean views. It offers drinks, lighter food, and live entertainment on select evenings.

Stevenson’s Library / Stevenson’s Sushi & Spirits
Sushi and cocktails

This lounge-style venue pairs sushi service with spirits in a club-like atmosphere. It is listed by sources as Stevenson’s Library or Stevenson’s Sushi & Spirits.

Club lounge

Grand Hyatt Kauai has been referenced as having a Grand Club or club-level lounge offering, though the currently visible official information does not clearly publish the lounge’s operating details. When available, this type of lounge is typically used for light food-and-beverage service and a quieter space separate from the resort’s public areas.

Reported club-level access may be available through eligible club-room or suite bookings, paid upgrades, or qualifying elite status; current access rules, hours, and inclusions should be confirmed directly with the hotel before arrival.

When to go

Time it by season, not by luck.

Poipu is one of Kauai’s sunnier and relatively drier resort areas, making it a practical choice for travelers prioritizing beach and pool time.
The resort’s extensive pools, saltwater lagoon, spa, and restaurants make it suitable for longer stays even when weather interrupts off-property plans.
Book spa treatments and popular dining venues in advance during peak vacation periods, as the resort is large and full-service.
Guests planning to use the waterslide should check current daily hours because it operates on a limited schedule.
Fine print
  • · Waterslide hours are limited even though pool areas are listed as having 24-hour guest access.
  • · Spa treatments require advance reservations, and Anara Spa has age restrictions for younger guests.
  • · Grand Club or club-level lounge details should be verified directly with Hyatt or the hotel because current public information does not clearly list exact access rules or hours.
  • · Connecting or adjoining rooms are available only by request and subject to availability.
