Hyatt Regency Sarasota

The room was ready on time, the staff was very freindly and helpful. We had a very good time by the pool and enjoyed the water fall and the Hurricane Hut. The food was excellent and the servers were very professional. The hotel is well situated for easy access to all of the areas main attractions. All and all, we had a great time.

Nice hotel, room was very loud...... Should have spa

The location of the hotel was perfect, the bay water view beautiful, very close to the beach about 5 minutes and close to the main circle where all the shops and restaurants are. We ate out all the time for lunch and dinner, because the Hotel only had 1 restaurant, I have stayed in other nice hotels like the Hyatt Regency but they offer so many choices to eat from ice cream shops by the pool, casual grab and go places with pizza, sandwiches, fruit salads, all these was lacking at the Hyatt Regency in SarasotaI. I had kids with me and this Hotel was more for the adult type, quiet, where people gets together for coktails at night, What I like about about the hotel was the location, view, friendly staff at the restaurant, the hostess Gaby was always friendly, the housekeeping staff, always providing you promptly with what you need and more, the gym well equipped, I could use it at no extra charge, the parking free of charge. What I think should be improved is their staff at the front desk, they need to be more helpful, with information about what to do around the area, and the services they provide like free internet on the first floor. The hotel needs to come up with more ideas of how to entertain their customers, so they don't have to go out at night to look for entertaining and food. Music is missing, one night should be someone playing piano at the lobby or restaurant, taking people's requests, other night a band by the pool, where their bar would be open, serving casual food, smoothies, ice cream, etc. Make another night a movie night on a big screen by the hotel, etc.... The hotel was boring as far as entertaining. Families are very important customers, we went out all the time, luckily Sarasota has things to do around: we went to the beach, Science museum, shops and ice cream circle, car show, pottery place, circus. Overall we had a great stay! I would come back if the time and pricing is right.

As an overall this hotel was alright. Rooms are nice and clean. The bed is not the most comfortable but still decent. Housekeeping was ok, they won't change your linen unless you request. Pool is nice. Short drive to the beach. Restaurant was good, food was ok. Staff was pleasant, but nothing extraordinary. Good stay altogether.
