So what is Poipu beach like?
I am just wondering if it is crowded, meandering with hiking trails. I have never been but it seems like everyone on the south shore goes there so I am wondering what it is like. Will be at the Hyatt in August for one night. Is it worth it to leave that grand pool? Will be in Hanalei for the following two weeks.

i was really disappointed with poipu beach. it's not overly crowded, but it has a lot of seaweed and coral. there is one area that is pretty rough which is crowded with boogie boarders. that also has a lot of coral, etc.. my husband actually cut his knee on the reef there and has a permanent scar. if you want to get a way from the hotel it's the best choice nearby. but, i also stayed at the hyatt, and the pool is very large and very nice. there is a beach in front of the resort, but it was not open for swimming when i was there (the current is very strong). hope you have a great time whatver you decide!

You can easily walk from the Hyatt to Poipu and we jog there every morning we are at the Hyatt. Shipwreck beach in front of the resort is much nicer for walking than Poipu but the rocks are treacherous. If you are only there for one day, I'd plan on staying lagoon/poolside.

Cherish they are both Grand Hotels. Location wins most people out on the Princeville but the Hyatt is a wonderful property also just 30 minutes from a grand landscape as far as I can see. Stay at one and lunch at the other. For a limitted time on Kauai and in Summer my money is not the Princeville. I also don't mind overcast days and this summer is providing many of them.
Hyatt great for kids and on the sunny side a better choice for October-May31
