I am excluding the Honolulu Hilton properties for the same reason above. I drove by the Hilton Garden Inn on Kauai and noted it's location and decided it wasn't that appealing to me.
Both the Grand Wailea and Hilton properties are mega-resorts that cater to conventions/meetings. Be aware of that if you go there.
The Hilton Garden Inn Kauai is a funky place, certainly not luxury. However, many years ago, I strolled down to then then-deserted beach at sunrise, and it was so remarkable, I called my parents to share the experience with them and thank them "for everything."
OP: You really can't go wrong in your decision.
