Water aerobics blasting music at 8:00am woke us up. 15 min away from more major dining. Parking was limited - we had to park at other complexes and walk over to our room. Room was spacious - but outdated- 3 star status. Pools crowded and no lounge chairs available and multiple times run out of towels. No wifi in higher rooms.

Mountain stay was pretty

I’ll share an honest review of the good and constructive feedback. We loved that the pools and stuff had a view of the mountains. The swimming pool with the slide has a gorgeous set up. The resort drinks and food were pretty bad at the pool side. They charged $10 for nachos that had canned cheese and basic chips and the drinks tasted like cough syrup. I think it’s a little pricy for the quality. Also, the front desk does not answer any calls . So make sure to drive to them if you need something. The full kitchen was so nice and we cooked a birthday dinner for my son and were able to store groceries! The dishwasher was broken so we didn’t get to use it. The showers inside the room were nice and the beds were soooo comfortable! Overall- we really did love our stay here! We will be back. The price is very reasonable compared to other resorts! My favorite thing about it is that you’re kinda tucked away from the ciity in the mountains but still less than an hour away from beaches , Legoland, and the zoo.

Property was nice. However, I requested a view of the golf course instead I got the view of the children’s pool. Too loud! Also, service requests are very slow. Parking is limited. I attended their time share talk and was promised to receive a $150.00 cash card. It’s been over 3 weeks and I still have NOT received it. I called 4x already!!! Very in convenient!!! Property is far from anything interesting. Almost 1 hour away from downtown SD. Lots of bad golfers too! Play was slow. It’s an executive course and very short. So you get a lot of hackers. Nice practice. Oh and only 1 bathroom, after the 9th hole. So if you’re drinking, you’ll need to hold it for a while!!!

Paid over $600 for ONE night,got about $300 worth

For starters the property itself is AMAZING, we were assisted at the front desk by a super friendly and helpful guy named “hanz” (he needs a promotion imo) after being solicited for a timeshare for the next 30 minutes, we were finally shown on a map where our villa would be & given a parking pass . Again the property is amazing and huge ! We got food in the downtown area and headed back to the room to relax , called the front desk a few times and got ONE REPLY essentially. The rest we were either ignored or seems like made to wait until the question or item requested no longer mattered. While out shopping I received a text asking us to clean the room for the maids 😆 we were already planning on doing so , but to be told to do it after paying almost $700 for the night seemed “extra” … This isn’t about the price at all though , in fact we left and got another room for the weekend @ damn near the same price (1150 for 2 nights) … Not as fancy ,as far as the property goes but we’re actually being treated like PAYING GUEST here … we’ve been asked over 5x in the last hour or so “is there anything I can get you” & even received a check up call from the front desk reassuring whatever we needed was only a call away & NO PROBLEM. All in all , not sure if I’d do the Hyatt again 💯 Your money to waste though

The key card for the first room we were assigned didn't work (this is because someone else was already in the room?) I had to go back to the lobby building to address the issue, this is when I realized I could get a free room upgrade (expedia gold). The room we ended up with was nice, but it was not an upgrade-nothing was available...which I was realistic, because parking was packed around all the buildings. The kids loved the pools and had fun in the arcade too. We enjoyed some live music and had a good time while we were there.
