The grounds of the Grand Hyatt Kauai make a statement all on their own. Because the beach here isn’t suitable for swimming, the resort has made up for it by building a salt-water lagoon, waterfalls, plenty of pools, caves, secret lagoons, and a water slide, all with breath-taking ocean views, to make this a tropical paradise for guests wanting an oceanfront experience. Perhaps you just want to get away from the mainland stress or the cold back home. What better place to do it than at the most extravagant resort on Kauai where you can enjoy strolling through the 50 acres of manicured grounds with its lovely gardens and meandering pathways.
Let’s start our tour of the Grand Hyatt Kauai by looking at the wonderful waterfall gardens located in front of the main lobby of the hotel.

These grounds are so beautiful with all of the gently winding pools, the lush green plants and the many colourful flowers.

There is a lot of ground to cover if you want to see everything.

You might want to try swimming in the ocean but watch the waves as they can be very dangerous. The red flag is usually flying. Just look at the color of that water! In the background, “the brave ones” are jumping off the rock into the water.

It is much safer to swim in the saltwater lagoon...

Perhaps you would rather swim in this pool? There is a nice little eating place here so you can spend the whole day here.

There are numerous waterfalls throughout the property. I never did find them all.

One last look of the ocean and that beautiful turquoise color of the ocean. This is the scene I dream of on cold wintry days.
