Liked: Cleanliness
Rooms were very nice, staff was grumpy!!! Especially front desk was not warm or welcoming but rather cold and irritated. One of the pools was closed for renovations and our room was right next to the pool. Not only was it a surprise the pool was closed, construction woke us up at a crisp 7am. There are no food or beverage services at the pool that was open during the week. All this information should be clearly advertised. There should be transparency when booking. If you claim to have poolside services let people know they are only available on the weekends.

Missed the mark.

So the accommodations were a bit aged, not that big a deal, but were were some issues. A resort like this advertises certain amenities. When you advertise them, I expect them to work, it’s basic stuff. I booked here because it was a good deal and because I made plans to utilize the amenities. It started with the first room I was in having completely unreliable and unusable WiFi. This is not an acceptable outcome, especially in this day and age. There’s no reliable cell service there in the mountains. So not having a reliable line to the outside world when I’m running a business is not acceptable. I shouldn’t have to change rooms to address this, but thats what had to happen. Then I invited family over for dinner my last night there, we planned to do a barbecue at one of the many barbecues you “make available” for guest use. The ones by my building were out of propane. The ones by the two adjacent buildings were out of propane. I had to drag my food two buildings over to the one barbecue that half worked to cook for my family guests who almost left hungry. I called front desk to address the propane in the grills by our building, and we were there waiting for two hours even after I cooked two buildings over after not being able to wait anymore. Maintenance never showed up. Not the level of customer service I expect from a Hyatt resort. Really a disappointment. Can rely on advertised amenities being available. To boot the trash from the neighbors was left out front and torn.

When we arrived for check-in at 5:30 PM, our room was not ready. As a gesture of apology, we were offered a $25 resort credit and decided to enjoy a glass of sparkling wine at the Canyon Ranch restaurant while waiting. However, we were unable to charge the drinks to our room because, according to the staff, our room number did not yet exist in the system. As a result, we had to pay nearly $60 out-of-pocket, which was frustrating and disappointing. About 30 minutes later, our room was finally ready. We brought our barbecue ingredients to the grill area, only to find that although the grill turned on, the flame was so weak that we could not properly cook any food. We had no choice but to return to our room and use the induction stove to cook, which filled the room with food odors and made our stay uncomfortable. Lastky, the dishwasher detergent compatment would't close propwrly, so I couldn't run the dishwash correctly and there was no sponge provided either. We were truly looking forward to a relaxing and enjoyable experience at your resort, but instead, we were left with a series of inconveniences and unpleasant memories. It is deeply regrettable that what was meant to be a special stay turned into such a disappointing experience. I reached out to the property via email about this issue, but I have not received a response as of today.

Took a trip to San Deigo to visit to Sea World, and the zoo with grandkids. Didn't want to be around the population.This place was beautiful, like a star 5 hotel. Would stay here again. I had amazon send me a wagon and cooler that was a mess at trying to get found when I needed them. We left the wagon for facilty to use but, never heard if it was claimed. Maid hopefully turned in. I would stay here again. Lots to do. again.again.staycwaround
