Hyatt Regency, Gainey Ranch: A Beachy Paradise
Nestled in the Scottsdale desert and framed against the McDowell Mountains, Hyatt Regency rests. As a 4-star hotel, they’ve earned a renowned reputation and are often compared to a Hawaii hotel in all its splendor.
From their sweeping grand foyer with floor to ceiling windows to their magnificent expanse of swimming areas including a designated ‘adults-only’ pool and a poolside bar, there’s not much to want for at this 27 acre destination.
Some other note-worthy amenities the Hyatt has are being pet-friendly, having in-room Chromecast, digital key and check in, a fitness center, and having an on-site restaurant and spa.
But again, Hyatt Regency’s most important attribute when compared to other Scottsdale hotels is its water playground.
With 10 pools, 20 water fountains, 45 waterfalls and a 30′ 3 story high-speed waterslide, the Hyatt does not disappoint when it comes to water fun for guests of all ages.
Remember how I mentioned a poolside bar? Well, fittingly dubbed H2Oasis, it’s a luxury service where you can enjoy food favorites, beverages and tropical cocktails. They also offer a convenient way to rent their beautiful cabanas, daybed and poolside chairs via iPoolside!
BUT – there’s more. Obviously I don’t expect you to only swim on this fantastical staycation!
For other recreation, the Hyatt has a 28-foot rock-climbing wall, a Putting Green for golf-enthusiasts, a Fun Zone that includes giant games of Jenga, Connect Four and Chess, and tennis at four different courts with night-time lighting and complimentary playing time for Hyatt guests. Spa Avania, fitness classes and other golf amenities are some more amazing services!
Spa Avania is the Hyatts luxurious on-site, indoor-outdoor spa. Spa Avania has personalized treatment offerings, mineral-water therapy, an amazing menu and world-renowned teas. It includes a Himalayan Salt Room and Spa Wave Bed, as well as specialized treatments that will help balance mind and spirit.
A subject we’ve yet to mention, is the Gainey Ranch Golf Club. This course is a top-rated course in the Southwest, one which is exclusively available to club members – and guests at Hyatt Regency at Gainey Ranch.
And when it’s dinner time?
On-Site dining includes exquisite Southwestern cuisine, fine cocktails, awesome Italian dishes, steaks – yes, steaks – and live music.
And when you’re stuffed and ready to be entertained?
