Aloha Tyler! Thank you for watching! Have you stayed at the Hyatt before? You are in for a real treat! Be sure to say hello if you happen to see us out and about while on Kauai.
@@OnHawaiiTime we have never been to Hawaii before! We chose this property strictly because we play the Hyatt loyalty point game, but we are very excited! We will be bringing our 2 children with us as well. We currently have a helicopter tour booked through Island Helicopters, it would be so awesome if Brodi was our pilot!
Happy Anniversary, you guys have the best staycation options :) The Grand Hyatt is a beautiful property, I definitely would like to stay there. I believe there is a public path down by the beach and goes along the cliffs - maybe I am thinking of something else. The upgrade package does sound like a great deal, especially if you know you will be hanging around the hotel. I am a bit more of an adventurer and would be out exploring the island but I know lots of friends who like to decompress and would be more than happy to never leave the property. Hope you took some time to relax and unwind :D
Aloha Ray!! Thank you for always watching! Yes there is a path along the water and it links up to the green belt and you can walk all the way to Poipu Beach! Maybe we'll do a video about that one of these days. I definitely agree with you about getting off property but I think if you're going to splurge to stay at the Hyatt for a couple of days of your vacay then stay right on property and take full advantage of everything they have to offer. If I was visiting I'd split up the trip and take a couple days here....maybe the last couple of days...to unwind. We definitely took full advantage and there was a lot of relaxing and unwinding....even when I had to head into Lihue to teach a spin class I still came back and relaxed, haha!
Great video and tour! On our annual trip to Kauai we usually stay at the Kiahuna Plantation and/or the Marriot Timeshare next door but your tour of the Grand Hyatt has given us incentive to try that next. Have been through the property many times during Marathon Expo and visits to Shipwreck Beach but have never stayed or dined there. We appreciate the insight! Love your channel and would be great to meet you on our next trip just to say a quick Aloha!
Aloha David! Thank you so much for watching and for the positive feedback. You'll have to let us know if you decide to stay at the Hyatt on your next visit to Kauai!
Oh soooo beautiful... will definitely try Tidepools for a nice dinner out when we come!! Thanks for sharing all your experiences... Appreciate you and so glad to find your channel! ❤️
I think the Hyatt used to supply the towels for the entire south side condo community. But they have new grey towels now. Time to upgrade :). I think the big value for the Hyatt is the nightly Hawaiian music at 5pm and new bands at 7:30. And the luau on Sundays and Thursdays. Expensive and the food is, well, as expected. But the entertainment is good. For the kids, talk to the parrots at 10am. For the single visitor ladies, the outdoor bar is where the local business guys go to offer free tours during your off time from you conference. I go to the bar because it is the only place I can watch a game and spend $16 for a mai tai plus tip. I walk to/past the Hyatt a couple times a week and it is one professional place.
❤️❤️. Also a great place for a wedding. My brother got married at the beach in front (Shipwrecks) and then we had dinner at Tidepools. Lovely! And they didn’t even stay there.
Happy Anniversary! These hotel videos are awesome. Marissa and I had dinner at Tidepools for our anniversary and watched a great band play in the open air hotel lobby after. It was an amazing night. We burned off the calories at your studio the next morning. I cant believe its already been three months!
Aloha Adam and Marissa! I can't believe it's already been 3 months?! How is that possible?! Everyone should always try to burn off their Kauai vacation calories at Island RIDE Kauai...haha! ;) Any plans to make it back here?
The Grand Hyatt is pure magic... absolutely love the property and the amenities! One of my favorite memories there is having my first mai tai on island after arriving from Oakland while listening to live music on the grand balcony... I still have a picture of that drink... LOL 😂 Looking forward to being back in February/March of 2021 🎶🎷
Aloha Eric! So glad our video was able to help bring back fond memories for you!! That's exactly why we do this, to bring people joy and smiles :) Thank you so much for watching!
Kalua pulled pork nachos at Hale Nalu was our go to afternoon snack when we visited here. Can't wait to be back in January! Fingers crossed there are no spikes in COVID cases
Aloha Dusty! I (Autumn) LOVE kalua pork nachos too!!! Unfortunately we have have had a spike in cases in the past couple of weeks but nothing like the mainland and I doubt it is going to change the plan to re-open August 1st.
@@OnHawaiiTime we really hope not, obviously for the state of Hawaii and those who call the islands home. But also because we really want to get back! We're supposed to be on the big island at the end of September/beginning of October for our anniversary. Do you know how much of the tourism aspect of Hawaii is opening? Especially things like botanical gardens, golf courses, and shops and markets?
We loved staying at the Hyatt!!!! The first time was GREAT but the second time not too much. We like staying in Kapaa area better. Yes the pools are just wonderful!!!!
The grounds at the Hyatt are so gorgeous! We stayed at a property next door and took daily walks through the pool areas...dreaming of staying there. I appreciate the room for after checkout. Our flight was at 8pm but checkout at the hotel was 11am. It would have been nice to have a place to put our bags instead of carrying them around in our rental car.
Aloha Debbie! That extra perk that the resorts offer to keep your bags for the day almost make it worth splurging on a place like the Hyatt on your very last night on Kauai. Great idea for next time! Thank you so much for watching :)
There are some influencer reviews of koloa landing. Koloa landing is a condo village with a really nice water area. There are little drink and sandwich area near the pools. Cannot drink you own liquor even if you own there. The pools are the nicest condo pools in poipu. No immediate access to ocean, not that you can get into the ocean at the Hyatt There are more restaurants near koloa landing, but then hyatt is only a mile further on the same road.. koloa landing has alot of kids more so than the Hyatt The Hyatt has more ammenities as it is a resort, koloa landing is really limited in space but very new. People can live full time at koloa landing, but most of the units are owned off island . Koloa landing is like a timeshare , a very nice one. At koloa landing, you will still go to poipu beach. You can stay at the hyatt without leaving if you have the food and drink budget I think in both cases there is an additional $45 to $75 a day resort fee that sometimes doesn't get quoted up front .
I love Tide pools the fire cracker opah is amazing. But donderos recently has got a really good chef so I like just getting a huge lamb meatball with a side of pasta and then having their amazing dessert. However I generally eat at Seaview Terrace because it’ has amazing food live music every night and reasonable prices and you get, Kamaina discount 🤙🏼 I’ve known Alejandro for years since when are used to work there 20 years ago super nice guy great server
We do need to check out the live music at Seaview Terrace, didn't get a chance to when we were there and as you know most nights we are in Lihue teaching spin! haha! We had the tiramisu at Donderos that night for our anniversary dinner and it was incredible!!
Great new video, Autumn and Brodi. The Grand Hyatt is one of the nicest places to stay on the island. Question for you. I heard from a friend that watching the full ads before enjoying a TH-cam video (i.e., not clicking on the "skip ad" button) helps the TH-camr financially. Is that true? Is it helpful for you guys if we let the ad play out before enjoying your video? Just wondering, because if that's true, I'll gladly do it. Sending you aloha from the Bay Area.
Aloha Chip!! Thank you so much for always being so supportive and positive!! I think that watching the full ads does actually help so if you can handle watching them all the way through we'd be ever so grateful!!
I think it would be nice to break down the hotel classes on the island. The resort class, (Hyatt and St Regis), hotel class ( Marriot, Sheraton), nice condo resorts (koloa landing, etc) typical condo (poipu sands, poipu Kai) cheap condo (pono Kai) traditional hotels (hotel Corel reef, hotel lani) and other (Kauai palms ) and the Airbnb condos, and the illegal airbnd places outside visitor zones. Finding a place to stay is always a struggle when you don't pick/afford the Hyatt
Aloha! Thank you for watching! Nope, not sponsored by the hotel. We paid for our stay, dinner and the spa all on our own dime. We were comped the Grand Club though through a friend which was very nice of them. It is a very pricy hotel so I couldn't imagine staying here for more than a couple of days but if you want to splurge then maybe add it as a 1 or 2 night stay with the rest of your time at more economical accommodations..haha!
I remember when it was being built during the late 80’s, I’ve never been to that resort once since it opened up for business, how much is it per night?
Aloha Jason! They have resident specials which make it a little better and of course different days of the week, times of the year, and if you have points that helps etc. Your best bet is to look online for rates when you are planning a visit.
You should’ve had me come with you I would’ve enjoyed spending your money I mean they are my neighbor😂 I know right where your room was I walk by almost nightly when I go over to use internet and eat at the outlets cause I’m a baller homeless dude 😂😂🕺🏼
We will be checking in this Saturday the 17th! Can’t wait!!!
Thanks for the video! We will be staying here in March and can't wait!

Just got back from a week at the Grand Hyatt Kauai. I loved it. Purposed to my girlfriend on the beach.
Thanks for sharing this vid! Could you guys try touring Koloa Landing? We are eyeing both of these for late Summer/early Fall next year!
Aloha Ryan! Thank you so much for watching. I know a few people that work there so perhaps we can arrange a tour sometime soon :)
