The Pool at Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa

"The resort boasts a full-service spa, great dining and drinks, cultural programs, several swimming pools (including a 150-foot water slide and a saltwater swimming lagoon) the adjacent Poipu Bay Resort Golf Course and access to a 500-yard white sand beach"

"But that’s just green icing on the cake of this sprawling, family-embracing resort, where the elaborate, multi-tiered fantasy pool and saltwater lagoon more than compensate for the rough waters of Shipwrecks (Keoneloa) Beach, and the 45,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor Anara Spa and adjacent Poipu Bay Golf Course offer excellent adult diversions"

"Anara spa offers a serene outdoor setting, while the resort’s meandering lazy river pool winds (complete with hidden caves) throughout the property"

"Achieve “lokahi” – balance or harmony — in the Anara Spa with treatments such as a bamboo stalk massage performed in a thatched-roof bungalow set among gardens, waterfalls and pools"

"The lush, tropical grounds include three pools (one with waterfalls), water slides, and meandering saltwater swimming lagoons"

"Interconnecting blue pools wind through tropical gardens on the "beautifully landscaped" grounds of this 602-room beachside "mega-resort" that's admittedly "big corporate Hawaii" but done "with a sense of style" in a "traditional Hawaiian plantation" motif – add on "postcard" ocean views and this may be, as some claim, the "best property on Kauai"; "superb" facilities and "fantastic" restaurants aside, for many reviewers "the reason to go" is the freshwater pool complex, a "water playground" connected by "slides, waterfalls and waterways" – "paradise!" Zagat reviews are compiled from individual user reviews"

"It has mouthwatering restaurants, including Dondero's and Tidepools"

"One of the best luxury resorts on Kauai, the 602-room Grand Hyatt Kauai draws guests with spacious, Hawaiian-inspired rooms, three incredible pools, a behemoth saltwater lagoon, 10 dining options, including a host of high-end restaurants, a renowned spa, a twice-weekly luau, and immaculately kept tropical grounds"

"Poʻipu’s glamour girl is 600-rooms strong and loves to show off, with a soaring lobby, tropical gardens, a huge spa, a world-renowned golf course, oceanfront restaurants and meandering ʻriver pools"

"Perhaps Kauai’s most ostentatious resort, the Grand Hyatt has four pools, the island’s largest waterslide, half-a-dozen domesticated macaws, a sprawling spa set amid jungle waterfalls and seven restaurants—including Tidepools, located atop a series of koi ponds"
