I'm at the Hyatt Regency Maui on 6 FFNs. We checked in 2 nights ago and was pre-blocked a partial ocean view room. I inquired about a Regency Club level room and they were able to get us a RC room with a full ocean view, but with two beds (one queen and one full size) instead of one king size bed. Our room overlooks the pool and is almost directly across from the elevators.

I would have to say that the room is a good size, but not large. I like the larger walk-in closets and vanity area. The beds are very nice and similar to the Westin "Heavenly Bed". I think the sheets at the Hyatt are softer though. The room furnishings show very little wear. The Portico bath amenities are a little larger than the usual Hyatts (2.5 oz vs 1.5).

We like having access to the RC, but I think we're going to try breakfast in the Swan Court one of these days for a full breakfast. I've found that people really load up on the evening hors d'oveures. Tonight we saw a couple with plates full of the coconut shrimps. I guess that they probably eat there instead of going out for dinner. They pack up the food and drink promptly at 7pm.

I tried snorkeling for the first time and really enjoy it. We've walked to the beach and black rock in front of the Sheraton, gone to Kapalua Bay, but saw the most fish so far at Ahihi-Kina'u reserve near Makena. Since we are not planning on bringing our equipment home with us, we bought inexpensive gear from Wal-Mart near the airport. We were shocked at the prices charged for the same or similar items from the hotel or Maui Dive Shop in Whalers Village. An underwater disposable camera from Wal-Mart was $9 vs $28 at the hotel and dive shop, for example.

Over the next few days we plan on visiting the Lao Valley State Park, more snorkeling, bike down Haleakala, and perhaps drive the road to Hana.

Sorry, posted in the wrong place. Please move to the Hyatt forum. Thanks.

Done.

Best,
Gary
