Overview
Kauai is Hawaii's oldest and most naturally dramatic island -- nicknamed the Garden Isle for its lush emerald valleys, towering sea cliffs, and cascading waterfalls. The Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon (the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific'), and the misty peaks of Mount Waialeale make Kauai arguably the most scenic island in the Hawaiian chain.
For points travelers, Kauai is dominated by the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa, one of the most beloved Hyatt properties in the world. At 29,000 World of Hyatt points per night for a resort that commands $700+ in cash, it delivers strong CPP value on Poipu Beach.
Kauai is the quietest and least developed of Hawaii's four main tourist islands. There are no buildings taller than a coconut tree and vast stretches of coastline accessible only by boat or helicopter. It is raw, wild, and breathtakingly beautiful.
Cash vs Points
Hotels in Kauai range from $71.25 to $1912.57 per night. Points redemptions offer 2.13+ cents per point value.
