Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's excellent location, with many enjoying proximity to the beach, attractions, and beautiful views. Comfortable beds and spacious rooms were also highlighted by several guests. However, cleanliness was a recurring issue, with reports of dirty bedding, mold, and insufficient housekeeping. Service received mixed feedback, with some guests appreciating friendly staff while others experienced poor management and unhelpful responses. Value for price was questioned due to high fees and perceived lack of amenities. Overall, while the location and some room features stood out positively, cleanliness and service concerns were significant drawbacks.

The sheets on the bed were dingy and did not fit properly on the bed, we had to get up in the middle of night to try and re-tuck in the poorly fitting sheets. The bathroom certainly could have been cleaner. The thermostat on the A/C didn't work. The TV was difficult to operate, it wasn't clear how to get live tv to turn on.

This is a very old set of buildings that have very thin walls where you hear everything - doors slamming, people walking, even talking through the walls. The room price does not reflect luxury, especially for the price. Minimal bathroom counter space, stained seat cushions.. I felt like I was in a basement after thought. My friends got married and stayed in the suite, that was nice and designed pr...

Pros (+) Bed comfortable.
Cons (-) Room overall. This was not worth the price for a Saturday night stay. Walls are thin, bathroom offered no place to sit anything down - couldn’t even hang your wet towel. No closet. Bathroom was a giant room. Our window owned up to a walkway outside. In addition to room issues, it did not seem as though anyone adhered to the policy for masks - even if clearly defined anywhere. Staff should enforce.

Pros (+) Greeted with friendliness at front desk
Cons (-) We have stayed at Hyatts all over the world. I booked this ONLY because it was a Hyatt and couldn't have been more disappointed. Valet Parking guy was a jerk, the facility was filthy and run down. The Room was dirty, stairs were dirty, the hallway was dirty. We just were at the Hyatt in Cancun and couldn't have had a nicer stay. We usually book Hyatts because we expect them to have a high standard...

Pros (+) Location is great...and that's all
Cons (-) After paying over $400 a night being charged to park at $28 a night is ridiculous. The bathroom toilet leaked onto the floor the caulking in tub was peeling and had black mold. Read other reviews and avoid this place. Feds Parker would have been a much better choice as we've stayed there before.

Cons (-) Bar staff was rude and uncooperative. Front desk, informed us that we were being upgraded. Our room was next to the physical fitness center, on the outside of the hotel security door. We were awoken throughout the night by people saying long good nights outside our door. Then first thing in the morning the cleaning staff had a meeting just outside our door. We waited over an hour to talk to a mana...

Pros (+) The location is great, close to everything. The staff was pleasant.
Cons (-) The rooms really need to be extensively remodeled, at the very least. It feels like a 50 year old building. Relatively clean, but after this much use, it feels, looks, and smells old. Astonishingly bad value - we paid well over $500/night for a second floor ocean view room. If it had been half that, I would have said it was about right for the money.
