Kauai Hawaii Grand Hyatt for Kids

Grand Hyatt Kauai - RECOMMENDED: Fantastic vacation spot for families - Top Ten top family resort in US.

Pros:

• Serpentine pool, hundreds of yards long with water slide and four hot tubs.
• Sand-bottomed filtered ocean water pool perfect for walking babies, but also for ocean swimming with no fear of sharks.
  Camp Hyatt for kids 3+ with all-day, half-day and evening programs ($70/day).
• Hawaiian babysitting very kid-friendly @$12/hr.
  Spectacular grounds and ocean views, numerous shops, restaurants, prime location.
  Tier 1 Poipu golf course (Robert Trent Jones) on grounds with ocean front holes not to be missed.

Cons:

• Immense resort, so room may literally be blocks from lobby and pool.
• Much of food lackluster, Tide Pools is best restaurant for steak and fish.
• Pricey, so hard to justify adjoining rooms at 2X price. Hotel accommodates multiple kids (bed and crib) in room, but makes a vacation very cozy. (I wouldn't recommend the entire family in one room until or unless you can put kids in Camp Hyatt for at least part of the time).

ALOHA!
