<\/a><\/p>\n After we picked up our luggage at the carousel, our daughter picked us up at arrivals area of Honolulu International Airport. After a 30 minute drive we pulled up to the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa. As I mentioned before, we’ve stayed at this property many times and made it our home when visiting family in Honolulu.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a>The two imposing Hyatt Regency towers<\/p>\n <\/a>Pull up valet<\/p>\n <\/a>Escalator up to check-in<\/p>\n <\/a>Major rehab of the Hotel was taking place during our visit<\/p>\n <\/a>Reception Area<\/p>\n <\/a>Front desk area<\/p>\n <\/a>Room locations<\/p>\n With a little effort we made our way to the Hyatt\u00a0elite\u00a0check in area.\u00a0\u00a0The associate who checked us in, Melody, couldn’t have been sweeter. She acknowledged our diamond status, and then really took care of us over our 4 day stay. After our check-in she emailed us numerous times to confirm everything was to our satisfaction. It’s really high level touch and a job well done by Melody and Hyatt. Susan elected to take the in room amenity and let me select the chardonnay as a beverage. Our room was assigned as 3759, ocean front, and we took our keys and proceeded to the elevators.<\/p>\n <\/a>Diamond benefits sheet<\/p>\n <\/a>Welcome amenity<\/p>\n <\/a>Up to floor 37<\/p>\n <\/a>Floor 37 golden elevators<\/p>\n <\/a>Down to 3759<\/p>\n The shape of the room is\u00a0mostly a deep rectangle, with an angle\u00a0slicing\u00a0one of the inside walls. It’s spacious and roomy –\u00a0this is only a guess but my estimate is 250sqft +.\u00a0 It’s decorated in soft ocean blue and natural woods for the furniture. There is a king bed and nightstands, elongated desk\/TV console, and sitting chair.<\/p>\n <\/a>\u00a0King bed and night stands<\/p>\n <\/a>Room entrance<\/p>\n <\/a>TV console<\/p>\n <\/a>Desk<\/p>\n <\/a>Chair<\/p>\n <\/a>Rollaway one night<\/p>\n <\/a>Floor map<\/p>\n <\/a>Delivered amenity<\/p>\n The bathroom is a medium sized single sink\u00a0vanity next to an open closet. To the left is\u00a0a tub\/shower and commode\u00a0private room. The bath amenities are by Na Ho’ola and have a decidedly Hawaiian feel to them.\u00a0Thin\u00a0robs that are easy to wear are included with the room.<\/p>\n <\/a>Sink vanity<\/p>\n <\/a>Closet to the right<\/p>\n <\/a>Shower and commode room to the left<\/p>\n <\/a>Bathroom amenities by Na Ha’ola<\/p>\n When considering\u00a0just the 4 walls,\u00a0carpet, and furniture its an ok and average space. Average, until you look at the slider and outdoor balcony.<\/p>\n The balcony looks directly out to the pacific ocean in a south westerly direction. Sunsets are beautiful\u00a0and during the day you can gaze at all manor of sea going\u00a0objects from surfers, to sailboats, to large vessels on the horizon. Stepping onto the balcony there is small table and 2 chairs,\u00a0as well as\u00a0views of Waikiki beach left, right and below. It’s a beautiful little space to relax on, and certainly the highlight of the room.<\/p>\n <\/a>Look out through slider<\/p>\n <\/a>2 chairs and triangular table<\/p>\n <\/a>Looking right and up Waikiki<\/p>\n <\/a>Looking left and down Waikiki<\/p>\n <\/a>Beach area below<\/p>\n <\/a>Evening sunsets<\/p>\n Having Diamond membership is the\u00a0Hyatt Gold Passport programs allows you full access to the Regency Club lounge in the hotel.\u00a0 Regency Clubs can vary from Hyatt Regency to Hyatt Regency\u00a0and generally speaking the ones overseas are nicer than the one in the US. The Regency Club at\u00a0this hotel was\u00a0a well setup operation and generally higher quality than\u00a0at Hyatt’s on the mainland 48.<\/p>\n Located on the 3rd floor\u00a0from the elevators you walk past the hotel’s SHOR restaurant to enter the Regency Club.\u00a0In the morning the SHOR\u00a0is setup as a buffet restaurant and seems to\u00a0cater to large tour groups as it would normally just be a mob.<\/p>\n Once you enter the lounge you’re greeted by an associate at a small desk at the door. There is no checking of membership\u00a0as they use the electronic key for the verification method of\u00a0access. Once inside the lounge it is a large\u00a0mostly square shaped space. To your immediate left are the sideboards and food presentation area, to the right is a small computer station\u00a0for guests. The club has lots of daylight and is encased by\u00a0two\u00a0walls of floor to ceiling windows.<\/p>\n The main space opens out to an outdoor lanai with tables, seating\u00a0and fire pits\u00a0in the evening.\u00a0This outdoor section sports impressive views looking\u00a0over the\u00a0Waikiki Beach and the Pacific. In the morning it’s shaded and very a popular location for enjoying\u00a0breakfast. Both the morning and evening meal services where complete affairs with the club offering a nice assortment of food and beverage items. The associates working the lounge are VERY service and customer oriented (this is true of the entire property). It’s always a joy to interact with them during visits to the lounge.<\/p>\n <\/a>Regency Club Lounge details<\/p>\n <\/a>Entry into Regency Club room\u00a0past busy SHOR restaurant<\/p>\n <\/a>Looking back through SHOR restaurant<\/p>\n <\/a>Inside Regency Club Lounge<\/p>\n <\/a>Computer station<\/p>\n <\/a>Additional seating<\/p>\n <\/a>Main\u00a0sidetable\u00a0between serving times<\/p>\n <\/a>Outdoor lanai<\/p>\n <\/a>Side lanai facing city<\/p>\n <\/a>Side lanai facing ocean<\/p>\n <\/a>Main Regency Club\u00a0lanai view<\/p>\n <\/a>Evening bread table<\/p>\n <\/a>Evening cheese table<\/p>\n <\/a>Evening salad table<\/p>\n <\/a>Evening veggies<\/p>\n <\/a>Evening soup and hot items<\/p>\n <\/a>Breakfast pastries<\/p>\n <\/a>Breakfast cold cuts<\/p>\n <\/a>Morning fruit<\/p>\n The hotel has a small indoor business center, as well as an decent sized indoor gym.

Most days it was pretty busy, we were visiting during spring break, but it’s spacious enough that seating was always available. The pool deck area looks over the beach and ocean. Next to the pool\u00a0there is a\u00a0restaurant called Swim where you can order medium fair, hamburgers, appetizers and such. There is also an elevated hot tub and for rent cabanas that are\u00a0close to the view side of the deck. The rate at\u00a0the cabana was $50 for half day which we thought was reasonable. You can\u00a0checkout\u00a0folding chairs and towels for use at\u00a0the beach.<\/p>\n <\/a>3rd floor pool area<\/p>\n <\/a>Lounge chair\u00a0area<\/p>\n <\/a>Views toward the ocean<\/p>\nIntroduction: Honolulu for Spring Break<\/strong><\/a>
