"Sprawling across 50 acres of a former sugar plantation, Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa is a luxurious escape in sunny Poipu on Kauai's south shore, just half an hour from Lihue Airport." Full review
Frommer's "Its 602 luxurious rooms boast not only a fresh gold-and-green palette and pillow-top beds, but also eco-friendly elements such as low-flow toilets." Full review
Gayot "Overlooking Keoneloa Bay and the Mahaulepu Heritage Trail, this mega-resort is quite possibly one of the best on the island."
Jetsetter "Family-friendly yet luxe getaway set in landscaped grounds close to Poipu Bay Golf Club and Brennecke Beach." Full review

Gayot "If canopy beds, hardwood floors, turn-of-the-twentieth-century architecture and elegant French dining are right up your alley, then we highly recommend the eighteen-room Plantation Inn."
DK Eyewitness "Steps from the waterfront, this charming inn combines plantation style with modern convenience. Romantic island- style guest rooms have lānai (verandas); suites have kitchenettes."
Fodor's "Ten minutes from the beach, this tropical plantation-era inn is a fine value for those who want to be in the heart of the action." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This is where to stay if you want to be walking distance from Front Street, but still have a quiet place to sleep." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "With a plantation-style look, complete with porches on both stories of the building, this inn lives up to its name." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The 18-room adults-only bed and breakfast is located in the heart of historical Lahaina Town, less than a block from the ocean"

"Alohas are warm at this genteel oasis, which is set back from the hustle and bustle of Lahaina’s waterfront." Full review
