In my research on where we should stay in Hawaii, I ran into this post on weddingchannel.com. Thought you ladies might want to take a look...
**WARNING: Kauai Hyatt Under Construction 04/03 - 12/03** I just read the following bulletin about the Kauai Hyatt:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION (08/30/02) The Hyatt Regency Kauai Resort and Spa will be replacing its roof beginning April 2003. The expected finish date is December 2003. Taking small sections of the roof, they will remove the old tiles and add the new tiles onto the sub straight. As each section is completed, the surrounding landscape will be restored. Periodically from June through December they will finish painting the exterior of the resort. This will entail scaffolding and hanging ladders around the perimeter of the building in scheduled phases--June 12-July 18, August 12-September 13, and November 18-December 20.
I wanted to make sure that anyone else planning a 2003 Kauai honeymoon had this information before they made their plans.

Re: Hyatt Kawaii Under Construction 4/03-12/03
Okay everyone, here is what I got. I'm not sure if the TA discounted b/c of the situation of me switching or not, but here's the deal.
5 Nights Maui - Mountainview room @ Hyatt 5 Nights Kauai - Ocean view room @ Princeville, breakfast included every morning. (tax & svc charges included) All round trip and interisland airfare Rental car......... (i believe Im gettting a jeep)
I didnt receive the new package in the mail yet, but it will cost about $5800 (and change) I was paying $5700 before. This price also includes insurance just in case something happens...........
I believe this is a great price. Even when I was internet surfing, I couldnt find a better deal.
Yes, I'm using the TA from Liberty Travel in Merrick. I'll FM you her info.
Let me know if you all have any more questions.
Liz

Re: Hyatt Kawaii Under Construction 4/03-12/03
Liz, that's a great deal - we got a very similar deal with our Liberty Travel TA - we paid less b/c we used DH's FF miles, but everything else was the same.
That's too bad about the Hyatt Kauai, but I've heard WONDERFUL things about Princeville too. If the hotels were closer, we would have visited the Princeville one day, but we were too lazy to leave the resort
I stayed at the Maui Hyatt during the pool renovation, and I was pretty bummed about that. I've never been to a swim up bar before! (just that area was closed) But the rest of the hotel area was fine. It's so beautiful to be in the pool overlooking the bright blue Pacific ocean......ugh - I wanna go back!!!!!
