I had an early arriving flight into Orlando. I got to the Hyatt at 10:30'ish AM and went to see what the room status was. I had booked my reservations online and also read of the 4pm check in times. Upon checking in, I was quite surprised that hotel frontdesk attendant, Stephanie was not only able to upgrade my room to a corner where I had 2 balcony views, but was also able to allow me to head right to it as it was ready.
The resort and occupying property is akin to a compound atmosphere. You must check in with a guard at a front gate to access the property so security is well-maintained. I was given a parking pass to put in the front dashboard to allow easier access for my 4nite/5day stay. The lobby is beyond belief. Forget the decor and the live macaws and cockatoo's. When you walk in the front door, just look UP! The hotel itself is architectural genius.
The room was gorgeous. I haven't slept so sound in a very longtime and welcomed the pillows and the very high quality mattress that had me zzz'ing off in no time. The shower wasglass enclosed with a combination rain-soaker head and a seperate head where you can work one or both simultaneously. For the $18/day the hotel charges you, you have alot of services to pick from. There is a chip n'putt golf course that is beautiful. The private lake (next to the pool) that surrounds the property is a site for the eyes and the paddle boats, aqua bikes, canoes, kayaks are yet another part of your ammenities. Free bike useage around the property with appropriate trails, nature trails for walkers and more are all very worthwhile. The property is manicured meticulously. The countless fountains, tropical flowering plants and water gardens will have you turning your head to see what's next around the many walkways that lead to the massive pool. The pool is indescribable. Its resemblance to a rainforest/mountain oasis is well done and simply beautiful. The pool stretches around through a rocky cave-like area where you will find the, "On The Rocks" bar and excercise room and gameroom for the kids. There are (2) water slides. One for the kiddies and one for the bigger kids. A freind and I both tried the larger slide and gave it a "thumbs up" for the thrill factor. The pool staff offer some activities that will keep kids on the go. There was a water slide contest for the kids measuring the fastest time to get to the bottom of the slide.
I had lunch twice at the hotel. The crabcake sandwiches (one in the Cascades Restaurant and one pool-side) were excellent. I was unable to dine at any of the other 5 restaurants the hotel offers, but I have heard if you are big on breakfast eating, the morning buffet for a $25/pp fee is one that is unreal.
I had the misfortune of getting a grease stain on a silk shirt at a meal during the week. The dry cleaning staff was quick, courteous and had my clean shirts waiting on my bed and pressed perfectly the same day that I had them picked up.
The hotel staff was very accomodating. I had a surprise of a close friend coming to visit with her family and they were able to give them a room across the hall from mine.
Furthermore, on the day of checkout. I realized after accessing the internet with a laptop, the high speed cable was in disrepair and I was unable to disconnect it from my computer. A call was made and they had a computer tech on site that arrived to my room 5minutes after I made the call. He was able to fix the problem and got the broken cable out without charging me a fee.
Maid staff was friendly and thorough.
There are cheaper hotel deals in orlando and you might save a bundle by choosing others. However, you will not get the service at these places that I received at the Hyatt Grand Cypress. Simply spectacular. « less

The welcoming, calm and cool reception of the Hyatt acted as an immediate antidote to the heat, humidity and noise of the theme parks. Our room was always spotlessly clean by midday, with supplies always refilled and endless fluffy white towels. All the staff we interacted with made us feel like we were special, whether that was front of house, housekeeping, or recreation. The informal programme of events for the children was great – we did not want to pack our child off to a kids club for the entire day, but having 3 or 4 things going on throughout the day, broke the monotony for our 9 year old – certainly the ice lollies in the afternoon and the water slides were a great hit! The gym was relatively small but had good facilities. Leisurely bike roads around the resort were a great way to explore and get some exercise, and the same was true of boating on the lake. The location of the hotel was brilliant – a central location but plenty of space around it. We did not have a car, but taxis were relatively inexpensive to get you to parks, malls and restaurants - there were also a couple of good restaurants within walking distance if you wanted to head out on foot. Complimentary buses are provided to the Disney Transportation Centre, from where you can connect to all the Disney attractions, plus one bus daily to Sea World Universal studios. However, the bus return times were often so late, we were forced to use taxis to get back - even on the one occasion when we stayed at Epcot to see the fireworks at 9pm, we were too late for one bus, but had an hour’s wait for the next! In spite of that, I cannot see us ever wanting to stay anywhere else if we return to Orlando. « less
