Grand Wailea spa vs. Hyatt Anara Spa on Kauai

I really want to get an outdoors massage when I visit Maui & Kauai this summer. The Grand Wailea does not give pool-side massages to non-hotel guests, but I have heard that it is an amazing place. The Anara spa in the Hyatt Poipu has open room massage. The room opens to a private garden. Which do you think would be better and why?
I feel like I can always get an indoor massage at home. Thanks for any advice or other recommendations!

my wife had the massage at the anara spa last month. I asked her if it was open and she said there was a wall that was open but you couldn't really see anything. She said it really wasn't opening to any gardens. The massage at the hyatt in Maui was open. it was right by the pool looking out onto the ocean. In my opinion this was not private at all. Anyone walking by could see you getting the massage. But as I said the anara in Kauai was not open at all.

My massasge at the Anara Spa in Kauai at the Hyatt, was in a room with French Doors which opened out to a private tiny walled garden. When I was facing that way, I could see tropical plants, the blue sky and white clouds and listen to Hawaiin music piped in. It's the best spa I have ever been in. It is not ocean view, however.

i think the hyatt will be better because i've been to both and think everything about the hyatt is better than everything about the wailea. scenery, size, attention. everything.
