As a globalist, the resort was fine. Not great, but fine. No suites were available upon check-in, but they gave us a decent room facing the pool and mountains with a very large balcony (more than enough room for 2 lounge chairs and tables and chairs). Hotel in early April was sold out with lots school children and the now returning business conferences. This surprised us a bit because we thought there might be a semi-quiet window between spring break/spring training and the late Easter holiday.

The hotel feels a bit aged and lacks the pizazz of a signature feature. To me, it feels like a conference hotel with a nice (but crowded) pool area. They have a decent adult pool and a larger family pool that does have a very fast water slide. Good mountain scenery and lots of flowers. I don't really understand why anyone would pay $800 night room-only for this "experience," but it's a reasonable way to use your Hyatt points.

Globalists have a bit of an odd breakfast set up. Next to the main restaurant, they open up the Alto Bar for Globalists and put some non-alcoholic self serve beverages there and a few muffins and such. You can then walk "next door" and grab what you want from the regular breakfast buffet. The buffet food is good, but pretty basic and not an interesting spread.

They also gave us vouchers good for 2 signature cocktails each night, which was nice as we could listen to the nightly musician in the lobby bar (some acts were better than others), The first time we had the grapefruit vodka martini it was exceptional, but after that the drinks were just good. BTW, they'd otherwise cost almost $20/each. Globalists can also get sodas and chips and granola bats for free from the front desk by asking.

Bottomline, I think almost every couple would enjoy the nearby Andaz more, simply because the casitas there are more peaceful and the grounds feel more spacious and special. The Hyatt Regency feels more like a conference/family hotel. I doubt we'd return.
