Great resort, not so great food
i_therefore_conclude (Orange County, California) on Nov 17, 2024
The resort is massive, gorgeous and lush. We loved that we can use the pool, gym, lazy river and hot tubs 24/7. We had no problem getting beach chairs and pool towels. We enjoyed the koi feeding at Tidepools in the morning. The salt water lagoon is fantastic and a great alternative to the beach. Valet was great in getting our car ready for us out front (call them with your ticket # before leaving your room). The purified water stations scattered in the property are a great idea! The swan view at Ilima is sooo relaxing. The luau on Wednesdays and Saturdays are viewable from the seats outside of the function rooms. Stand out service that we want to acknowledge: bartender George at Stevenson’s, Richard at Dondero’s bfast and Fernan at Ilima Terrace - these guys are so friendly & helpful! We were disappointed with the taste and quality of the food overall specifically at Dondero’s lounge like a) their very dry and tasteless loco moco, b) rubbery meat skewers that were undercooked it stuck together, c) onion soup at Ilima’s that was like stale broth, d) so-so $22 Kalua pork quesadilla, e) sushi pizza at Stevenson’s that was semi-hard cardboard, among others. The slow service in the main dining room of Stevenson’s was disappointing as well, we should have remained in the bar. We were prepared to pay Hawaii (inflated) prices for food so it’s rather disappointing to have mediocre grub. Glad we had a rental car to check out the food scene in Poipu and Lihue. A bit of a drive but Kapaa and Hanalei have better dining options. Also: The spa isn’t accessible to Globalists anymore unless you have an appointment for a paid service. The resort is aesthetically beautiful but this Hyatt needs to up their food quality & taste to match the top dollar they charge. I’m on IG for more travel/food: @i_therefore_conclude
Best on the south shore
Robert D (Monterey, California) on Nov 16, 2024
This hotel exceeded our expectations. The week prior to visiting Kauai, we were staying in Maui and we had multiple people tell us that the Hyatt was dated and not as good as our Maui hotel. Boy were we pleasantly surprised when we showed up. The hotel is amazing. The room was fantastic. The restaurants are pricey (especially Stevenson's) but pretty good. Our only gripe with the hotel is that there isn't an "adults only" hot tub and that children ran wild doing cannon balls and playing in all of the hot tubs even though there is a "no unsupervised children" rule. I would have appreciated that being enforced. If you are visiting Kauai and want to be on the south shore (which I highly recommend), you have to stay here.
