Apr 22, 2025Beautiful resort with downfall
Beautiful resort. The grounds were well maintained. My problem was with the distance between our room and pool. We were in room 6006 which is the farthest from the pool and lobby. I’ve machine and elevator were extremely far away. Mostly beautiful ocean views but also neighboring hotel parking lot view.

Apr 21, 2025Absolutely Beautiful Hyatt!
We are Hyatt members and this is by far the most Beautiful Hyatt we've ever been to. The food in the restaurants and the Luau were fabulous! The landscaping around the property and pool area is lush and beautiful. The room was large and perfect. We will be back!

Great setting, sub par, expensive food.
The hotel property is in a beautiful setting using both man made and natural surroundings. We stayed in a partial ocean view room which I think was better than an ocean view room. From our lanai we could see the beautiful hotel property and a great view of the ocean. Our room number was 3139 and couldn’t have asked for a better room. However, and this is a big warning, the food was sub par. Not just because it was expensive, which it is ($21 for a turkey wrap), but also not good. For example, we ate at Tidepools restaurant and, just like our food from the poolside bar, it was cold and tasted like it was pre-cooked. The setting for Tidepools is quite a ways from the ocean, so you don’t get the feeling of eating oceanside. Not at all worth the $200 plus bill. Overall I give this hotel a rating of 4/5 because the setting is spectacular, but the food is mediocre at best.

First Class for the Mostpart
Spent two weeks there and mostly positive with a few minor wrinkles. My comments and observations are as follows: * Home run in terms of the tropical/lush garden greenery. Beautiful property with many nice touches all around. Very clean and well maintained. Shows a little aging here and there but nothing that takes away from the overall tropical experience. *Very customer centric staff. Any staff encounters were cordial and helpful. Huge kudos to Anna and the staff at the club. Mike at breakfast service was also outstanding. * Good location with many nearby dining choices and some shopping. Felt very safe. * self-parking was very easy. * This is a sprawling property with some stairs and ramps to negotiate. Be aware of this if there are mobility issues * There is a very comfortable lounge to use if you have a late flight, this was very helpful. You can use the lounge and enjoy all the facilities on the day you go home. * Club access is worth it. * Yes the food is expensive, but you have to know that going in and accept it. The breakfast buffet is great. Was not all that impressed with Tidepools or Seaview Terrace, though nightly live music is nice. The pool bar was very solid. Nice vibe, excellent bartenders and shade. * Room was fine and housekeeping staff on the ball. Had one minor housekeeping issue the first day involving refrigerator and thought the response was slow, but they tried to make it right. * one point of frustration involved the toaster at the breakfast buffet. They have this huge buffet but the worst toaster in the world. Mentioned this to server, hostess, dining manager but it was not corrected. * Believe it was at or close to full capacity during our visit. It seemed busy but not crowded. No problem getting seats at adult pool but walking down a steep ramp for towels was not convenient at all. So overall I would recommend it and our intention would be to stay there again if we return to the island.

Apr 17, 2025ONLY MONEY MATTERS
This place could be 5-rated if they didn’t stumble over themselves. Pros: beautiful location on the water, pools, a spa, shops, close to wonderful attractions. Rooms are spacious and well appointed, with nice amenities including a very fancy bidet toilet. NEGATIVES: IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. The restaurants are way overpriced and the food is marginal at best. 100+ dollars for a marginal fruit plate, small chicken Caesar salad with a hair in it!, and greasy fried vegetables. All were bland. So, maybe they had a bad night? Ok. We go back tonight to get an after dinner drink and listen to live music. It rained and their patio hadn’t opened back up. There were at least five tables or seating areas we could’ve had, but the hostess informs us it’s only for dinner guests (who aren’t there). Not even a far back table. Hyatt wants to nickel and dime tourists. Sad thing is we would’ve had drinks and paid a very appreciative tip. But, Hyatt missed out. Hyatt, you need to fire your Hospitality/Food & Beverage Management. That’s why I will NEVER stay here again. Terrible shame. I would’ve sung Hyatt’s praises here if they’d only given a damn.
