And save my Hyatt points for cities like New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, etc.
I'd concur with you on this one. This is not the experience I'm necessarily looking for on Kauai - I'd prefer not to be at a huge property with a bunch of other Americans on vacation or convention/meeting. It's certainly a beautiful property and if you have kids the water park is a great thing for them, but overall really not for me. Some of my best trips there have been in vacation rental homes or with friends that live there. Much more of a local experience.
