5 Exquisite Kauai Hotels

Kauai is dubbed the “Garden Isle” that makes every visitor’s tropical dreams come true. These five exquisite Kauai hotels make that so easy to see.

1. Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa

   

   Kauai’s sunny south shore is where you’ll find Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa. This breathtaking beachfront resort is a classic Hawaiian staple when it comes to graceful grandeur. Lush gardens span across over 50 acres on-site. And finding fresh island flavor at romantic open-air resort restaurants is easy with plenty of choices from American to Italian to contemporary Hawaiian cuisine or sushi. With amenities aplenty from pristine pools, an award-winning golf pro shop (to complement Poipu Bay Golf Course) to open-air Anara Spa, this luxury oasis has everything you need for an island getaway.

2. Kauai Marriott Resort

   

   Combine the true spirit of aloha and modernity and you’ll get Kauai Marriott Resort. You’re in luck if you’re all about fun in and out of the sun because this resort has endless options for both. After all, it sits on 800 lush tropical acres along Kalapaki Bay so how couldn’t it? Located in Lihue just two miles away from the airport, this resort has the largest one-level outdoor pool in all of Hawaii. If you need some R&R, visit their full-service Alexander Day Spa & Salon. And don’t forget about the two Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses, eight tennis courts, five restaurants and Jacuzzis.
