Travel :: The Grand Hyatt, Kauai


Ever since our family trip to sunny Hawaii four years ago I have been dreaming about the day when I am able to go back, and this time bring Ryan!  We spent ten days on the beautiful island of Kauai, exploring different beaches and towns {Hanalei was my absolute favorite} and relaxing at the Grand Hyatt Kauai.  The hotel spa was absolutely amazing, with open-air showers made of igneous rock covered with pink bougainvillea.  Whenever I am having a stressful day I close my eyes and am instantly back in Kauai, my happy place :)

    I went to Hawaii in 7th grade, so needless to say, I've got to go back to enjoy it as an adult as I don't remember much about it! It's such a gorgeous land and all the people are so friendly!!

    Ohh, this is lovely--I've only been to Maui and Oahu, but clearly Kauai (and this hotel) needs to happen! The open air, pink showers sound fantastic!!

    These photos are simply spectacular! The vegetation and the flowers are so lush and the grounds of the hotel are pristine. Looked like an amazing trip.

    I'm a little biased to say that anywhere in Hawaii is just absolutely gorgeous! ;) My family is from the west side of Kauai, and spending summers there was always the most fun - it's an island full of adventure!! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay! Hope you had a great Monday, friend!

    Gorgeous! I don't think I'll ever make it to Hawaii though unless we move back to the States one day. So far from Abu Dhabi. :(
    But Maldives is close...which is a good compromise, right?
