 Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress is part of a larger resort complex near Walt Disney World, with 45 holes of Jack Nicklaus-designed golf, a full-service equestrian center, a dozen private tennis courts, an elaborately landscaped half-acre swimming pool and a full range of recreational activities, plus separate home-like accommodations at the Villas of Grand Cypress.
With well-appointed guest rooms, the Hyatt Regency offers a good balance of luxury and price, with abundant options for dining and recreation on-site.
In the 18-story atrium lobby, they pass towering trees and tropical flowers as they head toward glass elevators that convey them to the 750 amenity-filled rooms and suites. Nowhere is the mix of Florida elegance and informality more evident than on the Regency Club level, where guests enjoy dedicated concierge service and an exclusive lounge with complimentary food and beverages presented throughout the day.
Five restaurants and four lounges, plus 24-hour room service, offer a full spectrum of wining and dining options. Highlights include Hemingways, a seafood emporium overlooking the pool, and La Coquina, widely acclaimed for its Chef ’s Table dining and seasonal Sunday brunch, which earned “best in central Florida” from readers of the Orlando Sentinel.
Recreation often centers on 21-acre Lake Windsong, with its white-sand beach and marina, sailboats, canoes, and paddleboats. The pool, another popular attraction, covers more than half an acre as it flows through grottos and caves, past a dozen waterfalls and a 45-foot water slide. Nearby, a full-service fitness center offers aerobics instruction, weight training, massage, and boutique spa services.
Guests take pleasure rides or practice dressage and hunter-jumper skills at a ten-acre equestrian center. Tennis fans head for the Grand Cypress Racquet Club, with its clinics, lessons, and 12 tennis courts, half lighted for evening play.
Golfers indulge in 45 holes of Jack Nicklaus Signature Design play that includes Scottish-style links, plus a nine-hole pitch-and-putt course and an award-winning golf academy staffed by 5 of the top 45 instructors in Florida, according to Golf magazine |
