Service and cleanliness
One area where the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa fell short was in terms of service and cleanliness. Throughout our stay, we found the staff to be unhelpful and unfriendly, with little to no acknowledgment of our concerns or requests. We had issues with the cleanliness of our room, as well as with the maintenance of certain amenities like the floor lamp and HVAC system.
Additionally, we found the overall condition of the property to be lacking, with signs of wear and tear in our room and common areas. While the resort is starting to show its age (it opened in 2010), we felt that more could be done to maintain and update the property to meet the standards of a luxury resort.
Overall, we were disappointed with the level of service and cleanliness at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa, and felt that it detracted from our overall experience at the property.
In conclusion, while the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa offers a convenient location, spacious rooms, and a range of amenities and activities, it falls short in terms of service and cleanliness. If you are looking for a budget-friendly option with a great location near the beach and Pier 60, this property may be a good fit for you. However, if you prioritize service and cleanliness in your vacation accommodations, you may want to consider other options in the area.
