Grand Hyatt Offers Christmas Day Meal for Kauai Families

The Grand Hyatt Kaua‘i Resort and Spa announced on December 24, 2025 that it would sell a chef prepared, to go Christmas Day meal designed to serve four people. The package includes an eight ounce prime rib per person, family style sides of mashed potatoes, green beans and roasted vegetables, a garden greens salad with lilikoi dressing, dinner rolls and four slices of sweet potato pie. The resort set the price at $149 per meal with tax and gratuity included. Orders had to be placed in advance by phone and pick up was scheduled from noon to 5 p.m. at the resort Group Entrance on Christmas Day.

For local households the package breaks down to about $37.25 per person, creating a price point that competes with takeout from local restaurants and prepared holiday meals available in supermarkets. The meal targets both residents who prefer not to cook and visitors staying on island who want a hotel quality dinner without dining out on a holiday. For families with limited time or reduced kitchen access the offering reduces hassle while keeping a traditional roast and dessert on the table.

The timing and logistics matter for community planning. Requiring advance phone orders concentrates demand before the holiday and centralizing pick up at the Group Entrance creates a predictable flow for resort staff. That approach may help the resort manage staffing and kitchen capacity on a day when many hospitality employees also take holiday time. For consumers, the noon to 5 p.m. window gives several hours for collection but also means customers must plan arrival times to avoid congestion.

Economically, holiday retail and dining options such as this can provide incremental revenue for resorts during a period when room rates and service demand typically rise. For Kauai County residents the meal is an additional choice among grocery prepared offerings and restaurant closures on Christmas Day. Families considering the offer should call the resort in advance to confirm availability and pickup instructions.
