The whole property is under construction. We called months ago and asked about the status of the renovation and the expectation for during our visit. The extent of construction we were told to anticipate was misrepresented. We were told that the restaurants were going to be the only renovations at the time of the visit. In reality, it was the whole lobby and the main courtyard by the adult pool. We had the pleasure of hearing jack hammers the whole time while “relaxing” at the pool. No great.

The staff were all friendly and cared. The hotel is under renovation so there is some noise (more so on the weekdays). The kids loved the slide and the wife loved the poolside service. The amenities and excellent staff make up for the noise and I’m sure the hotel will be beautiful when they are finished. We’re planning our next trip for 2025.

We enjoyed our stay, but were disappointed to find the waterslide and beach were closed for the renovation. The one pool open during our week was quite crowded, but nice, and the poolside service was excellent. We weren't notified about the events that were going on for children beforehand- came too late for the henna and braiding, and I was disappointed that we hadn't been clued in beforehand on where to find out about these things for our teens.

They play live music every night until 10-11, which is great unless you are in one of the first rooms off the stairs, it sounds like the concert is inside your room. In the mornings, the cleaning ladys are so loud, while I appreciate a made up bed everyday, they do not need to yell across the hall to each other, especially when you have a toddler who you are hoping stays asleep. Dont put your towels on a chair in the am unless you want them removed. Their rule is 1 hour, but twice they removed our towels. Worst of all, I came home with a horrible rash

I was very disappointed with the hotel. It was in a run down condition. There seems to be construction going on in the pool area. The fountains were totally turned off. The carpets looked dirty and old, so were the showers. Too expensive for the condition it’s in.

Overall it was a great stay, but the property was under construction.l. Staff were conscientious about letting us know and working around it, but some facilities were not available. The only time we ate at the hotel, service was very slow, as a large wedding seemed to have staff overwhelmed. Great property,great location.

The hotel was undergoing major reconstruction. And while we were generally warned of this the management at the hotel did not clearly communicate what this entailed. We received less than 24 hours notice that all water would be unavailable for an extended period of time and no forewarning that we would be trapped and unable to leave for 1/2 hour for helicopters to drop off equipment. We almost missed our flight

Hello Sue,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding recent stay with us. Your feedback is very much appreciated and certainly valuable in monitoring our performance. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience and aggravation you experienced regarding the shortcomings you described. The delivery of this information was sudden due to the emergent issue on property. I have forwarded your comments to our leadership team to review our best policies for providing this information to guests and assist in limiting the impact on guests in the future. It is most disappointing to know that we failed to provide the level of service expected of a Hyatt hotel and you left with an unfortunate experience and feeling for our resort. We do hope once the renovations complete you look to us for your next stay in Scottsdale, and we absolutely will be working diligently to provide a far elevated service in the future.

The hotel is under major reconstruction. No restaurants, no pools, couldn’t get door keys when checked in. When mentioned they said Oh you booked with Expedia but if you would have booked online w Hyatt it was a note about the very limited access there. Expedia did r say Nothing about it and instead showed all the wonderful features at the hotel even though you knew it wasn’t available. Bad on Expedia not informing us. Cheap of you.

The room and location was great, but we had issues with the amenities on property. We had a bad experience as the concierge, as he lied to us and told us all three restaurants were open, when only one restaurant was in fact open. The spa was booked up completely 3.5 weeks before our reservation. We tried to use the spa facilities including the gym and were denied as hotel guests since apparently they had given away all their day passes.
