We admit it, we’ve slept around with the best of them: Frette and Sferra Bro.; Bellino and Dwell; Egyptian; Turkish. We’ve had no qualms getting horizontal with them, especially when they bring a high thread count to the bedroom.

Despite all our one night stands (and extended stays on occasion), we've gotta say, we think K`oa Kea Hotel & Resort at Po’ipū Beach is onto something with their custom beds.

Hyatt Kauai: Pools on Empty

[Ed. Note: HotelChatter correspondent Alex Salkever from Hawaiirama returns this week with the scoop on Kauai's best hotel pool. Enjoy.]

The pools at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa on Kauai are fricking amazing. They slosh across a whopping five acres and snake around this huge resort dropping 40-feet or so through a number of levels down to the beach.

They come in both fresh and saltwater varieties. Multiple waterslides including a 150-foot beauty keep the kiddies yammering for more. A classic river-style layout, they include a generous smattering of waterfalls, grottoes, secluded decks for sunning, and small swimming holes.

In fact, the Hyatt Pool is the second best pool in Hawaii behind the multi-level monster Wailea Canyon pool at the Grand Wailea on Maui. Alas, all good pools need a scrub. So, the Hyatt Kauai is resurfacing its pools, a month-long project that started the last week in October.

Here's what Expedia had on the subject.

Work will be scheduled so that for most of this period, one of the pools and the saltwater swimming lagoon will be open 24 hours a day; both pools will be closed November 9 - 13. The waterslide will be closed November 9 - 29.

Daddy and mommy, you try to tell the kids the pool is closed. I dare you. The kicker? Completion dates subject to change. Ouch. Caveat aqua.
