Concierge.com's insider take:

The Grand Hyatt is easily the most luxurious resort on Kauai's always sunny south shore. Situated on Poipu Beach, this 602-room hotel is family-friendly yet elegant enough for a romantic trip for two. The six-story structure harks back to the plantation style of the 1920s and abides by the island's rule of thumb: No building can be higher than the tallest coconut tree. But you'll still find all the modern amenities and attentive service you can handle. In 2007, a major renovation gave all of the rooms a much-needed makeover (replacing tropical prints with mod white fabrics and boxy furniture) and expanded the Anara Spa with a beautiful outdoor treatment area. Swim in the saltwater and freshwater pools, wander (and, quite possibly, get lost) amid the 50 acres of manicured grounds, and—best of all—send the kids to Camp Hyatt while you make the most of the cocktail lounges, restaurants, shops, and golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr.

The 1990 resort built on a sugarcane plantation fronts a white sand beach and is surrounded by gardens and lagoons. Furnished in mahogany, rooms have Hawaiian prints.
