Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress

Lake Buena Vista, Orlando

Virgin rating

The hotel

There are far too many facilities at this marvellous 1,500-acre resort to detail here. The swimming pool is the kind that has kids gasping with wonder - waterfalls, grottos, whirlpools and a 124-ft long water slide tower, as well as a new water jet splash zone and rock climbing areas for kids, creates an aqueous wonderland. On the lake, you can practice kayaking, canoeing, or just simply pedal away toward the sunset. There is even a white sand beach for those waiting to sit back and relax, and 45 holes of top golf, with a pitch 'n' putt for non-golfers to enjoy. There are some great restaurants and bars; the pool bar, On the Rock, is located by Lake Windsong, offering views of the lake and the pool, four 60" TVs, a full service bar and food service options. Leave everything behind to enjoy the happiest of hours under palm tree canopies and moon-drenched evening skies at Four Flamingos, a Richard Blais Florida Kitchen that provides an immersive dining and drinking experience reminiscent of a dreamy, tropical oasis. Be one of the first to enjoy their newest recreational features: New Water slide, Water Jet Splash zone, rock climbing for kids and the pool bar!

Nice hotel, but shuttle service to Disney and Universal was infrequent, making it not a practical solution if the purpose of the visit is to visit the parks. Also, hotel refused to lower the thermostat to 65 degrees overnight for sleeping.

This hotel is older (opened mid-'80's) but very well kept up. The atrium is cavernous which could be overwhelming but has attractive nooks for people to congregate. The staff are terrific and go out of their way to ensure you are taken care of. The Lakeside Restaurant has a great freshly made sushi menu and Brian, the bartender, is terrific! My only knock is the lack of diversity in the clientele. It tends to be a bunch of wealthy older white males in garish golf outfit and their wives. They could do more to attract a diversity in their guests. Read less

We first came to the Grand Cypress on our honeymoon 37 years ago, and although quite a lot has changed we had a lovely four night stay. The hotel has the same charm. We were checked in by the friendly and efficient Bianca, and the manager Carolina had arranged for a card to be signed for us, which was a lovely surprise. The facilities are marvellous, especially the famous swimming pool. All the pool deck staff were friendly. The room was well appointed, and looked out over the swimming pool which meant we got a view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks. We had a good dinner in the Lakeside restaurant, less so at the Four Flamingos, which we were looking forward to, so that was unfortunate. One other criticism was that the bar at Four Flamingos was like a sports bar, and not in line with a high end restaurant. We missed the vibe at the old Hemingways. Last but not least, a big shout out to Chris the bar manager at the Lakeside bar who was great company and made a mean cocktail. All in all, a lovely stay. Read less
