Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii (PRWEB) February 12, 2006 -- The prestigious travel magazine, Conde Nast, has once again included Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa among its top 700 Best Places to Stay in the latest “Gold List” readers’ poll. Readers rated Grand Hyatt Kauai as the best place to stay on Kauai with scores in the 90s for location, design and activities.

Grand Hyatt Kauai received an overall score of 88.1, making it the number one choice on Kauai and out-ranking more than 50% of the 20 resorts listed for the state of Hawaii. The highest overall score for all 700 operations listed was 90.1, putting Grand Hyatt Kauai just two points from the top-rated resort.

One reader noted the beauty of the resort, saying, “It is integrated into nature. Even inside the hotel, sometimes you feel like you’re walking outside.” Another reader commented, “The golf (at Poipu Bay Golf Course) is excellent.”

Conde Nast collects data for its Readers’ Choice Survey from subscribers who rate resorts, hotels and cruise lines according to criteria that include Rooms, Service, Food, Location, Design and Activities, to render an overall score. The magazine also asks readers for specific comments from its readers to “reveal the property’s character.” Readers must first rate the resort as excellent or very good for primary qualification that narrows the list. A property must also receive a “required minimum number of responses” to qualify.

The resort includes: six restaurants and six lounges, a water playground with waterfalls and a 150-foot water slide, a five-acre saltwater lagoon, tennis, ANARA Spa, and golf at the adjacent Poipu Bay Resort.
