You would think that having the Hyatt name it would be a very good property with excellent and flawless service. When I got there I was assigned a room where the bed was not done, there were covers and towels on the floor, TV was on and I think I saw someone on the bed. Did not have a complete look because I did not want to be intrusive even though it was not my fault. I had reserved a jetted tub room and was put on a non jetted tub room without a fireplace as well. Different in price was not given back. Never again even though the rest of the stay was just ok.

So much potential! Definitely needs some updates, though. Our bed (in the Carnival building) was comfy, but very squeaky, which made for not very restful sleep. There were also small things like a wobbly toilet, some corners of peeling paint, etc. The little neighborhoods were nice and each had some amenities within walking distance of the units. Communication was a little lacking upon check-in. Some details that were not communicated well: The nicest/ largest of the pools was under construction. We only found our after a very long, confusing drive to find it; we were apparently given a resort credit through expedia, which was not made known to us; and some of the information in the resort guide was incorrect, like which "neighborhoods" had a kid's pool. All in all, it seems like a lovely place, with some nice touches, but they still need to work on some of the basics.

We really liked the stay, unfortunately, there were a few inconveniences during our stay, such as, no hot water on the shower, only in the tub, phone line not working, so we couldn't place a phone order, had to go and order at the pizza hut. We couldn't call front desk for extra blanket, super cold. Our villa was far from the front desk did not wanted to drive again.

Disliked: Staff & service

The rooms are spacious and nice, the property faces the freeway so you can’t escape the noise but the surrounding hills are beautiful. The various seating areas are comfortable and lovely. The staff don’t seem to be trained in customer service. Each contact we had was plagued by either a lack of communication (court reservation made for different facility), lack of accommodation (late check out) or simply inept (didn’t place takeout order made by phone until I arrived 10 min later). The phones in the room didn’t work, the kitchen outlet fuse blew, the TVs are not able to stream, and the pools are too cold for most adults. So much potential if they can engage in the business of travel.
