ACCOMMODATIONS

We stayed in a Signature Suite. This suite offers connectors as a two-room suite with one bedroom (either a king bed or two queen beds) or a three-room suite, with two bedrooms. We always like having a separate bedroom option so that we can shower and dress in privacy. It also includes a spacious living room with pullout sofa, generous dining area with a large table for six people, plus a wet bar (drink refrigerator, oven, and Keurig® coffee maker) and each room has it's own bathroom and direct access to a balcony. With both connectors, along with the pull-out sleeper sofa, it's a perfect size for a family of 4 to 8.

It's as comfortable as it looks. Watch television or open the blinds for a lush, landscaped view.

Alto ristorante e bar

This dazzling space is home to Italian specialties using fresh pasta, local meats and produce, and features heavenly desserts.

Regency Club®

The Regency Club® lounge here is spectacular. Available to guests who stay in a Regency Club® room or are a high tier World of Hyatt Loyalty Club member, it's a wonderful place to enjoy light food presentations and snacks throughout the day. It's definitely worth upgrading to this level when traveling with a family.

Activities

Pools and Cabanas

They offer two types of cabanas, a spacious covered cabana or a family cabana. We had a family cabana, complete with lounge chairs, water misters, sofa, table, television, refrigerator filled with bottled water, and a cabinet to store all of our valuables.

Review of family cabana at Hyatt Regency Scottsdale

A great place for the entire family to lounge and stay out of the hot sun.

Lounger in Cabana at Hyatt Regency Scottsdale

Comfy loungers to get either sun or shade.

The family cabanas are located perfectly in front of this huge pool to keep an eye on everyone.

Fully stocked water in the family cabana at Hyatt Regency Scottsdale

Fully stocked bottled water and enough room to store other snacks for the day.

With a 30 foot 3-story waterslide, 10 pools and even more waterfalls and fountains, you won't ever want to leave. Water coolers are located throughout the pool deck, along with towels.
