“Loved the sand and the lounge chairs, but units need cleaning”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012
5
people found this review helpful

We stayed at the Hyatt Beach House from 12/25/11 - 1/1/12. This was our second trip to Key West in recent years and included our children ages 17 and 14. On our previous trip to Key West, we stayed at the Hyatt Windward Point which is located about a mile and a half from the Hyatt Beach House.

Upon checking in, our location was in the D wing which is nearest the resort office. The view from the screen patio was rather limited as we could basically see the back of the office and the walkway leading to the pool. After unpacking our bags, we noticed that the unit had not been properly cleaned before our arrival. We made a couple of visits to the front desk to bring this to their attention and they offered us a room in the A wing, which had a much better view as it was closer to the sand and water.

I would say the rooms at the resort are just average, but the grounds are very nice if you are looking to relax near the pool and the sand. The area rug in our unit was fairly dirty, and it was apparent that the tile flooring had not been thouroughly cleaned in quite some time. That being said, we enjoyed eating meals on the screen porch and the beds were fairly comfortable. It was also nice having a washer and dryer in the unit.

A few comparisons based on our previous stay at Windward Pointe. If you are looking for a nicer room, I would give Windward Pointe the edge. If you are looking for relaxation near the pool, I would give the Beach House the nod. The pool area at Windward Pointe is nice, but the traffic from A1A runs right next to the pool area. The only sand at Windward Pointe is confined to the beach volleyball court and there is a sea wall on the other side of A1A. The man-made beach at the Beach House was located between the water and the pool. It covers a large area and you are able to walk directly from the sand into the pool. The lounge chairs on the beach were incredibly comfortable and there was no traffic noise. There was also less air traffic to contend with at the Beach House. Windward Pointe is located next to the airport.

There wasn't a lot of activity at the resort, but that was fine with us. We were able to drive 5-10 minutes to Duval St. if we wanted to check out the shops and restaurants. One note if you head downtown -- take some change with you. We received a $25 parking ticket at 11:33 P.M. Key West apparently monitors its meters until midnight.

The Hyatt Beach House is a great place to stay if you are looking for some relaxation away from the craziness of Duval St. and downtown Key West. If you are traveling to Key West to experience the bar scene, you will likely wish to be located closer to the Duval St. area.

Room Tip: Rooms in the A and F? wings are closest to the beach. I would choose the 3rd floor for the best vie...

“best resort we ever stayed”

people found this review helpful

We stayed three nights at this location in Dec 2011. I have to say each of our family truly enjoyed this place. The property is clean and close to water. We rented a 2 bedrooms suite, it is spacious, has a huge balcony from there you can see yacht/boat on ocean, My 9 and 10 years old enjoyed playing in pool.

It's about 3-4 miles from Keywest downtown, so it' not too far all action.

It's bit expensive but well worth it.

“Peaceful resort about 4 miles from Duval, not many activites for a timeshare”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed in a 2-bedroom, 2 bath unit here for a week on an Interval exchange with a group of friends, and it’s a beautiful spot to unwind and relax when you’re not exploring the rest of Key West. Best part is the free-form pool w/ beach entry and super comfortable canvas beach chairs and foam floating mattresses. We enjoyed the tiki bar too w/ the daily drink specials (especially when Jim was there). The rooms are nicely decorated in simple tropical colors, love the big screened-in porch w/power outlet, so we could sit in the morning and have coffee, and work on the computer, and the spacious master suite w/ Jacuzzi tub and was great. The kitchen wasn’t super large, but fine for the minimal cooking we did on this trip.

Service was very friendly, and they promptly brought up everything we needed if they had it (pan, baking sheet, extra shampoo, etc.). Check in was easy. Free parking, free wi-fi (and 24-hr service line for tech issues which I utilized once). No gym on site, which was disappointing, but we ended up renting bikes for the week and guests can use the (small) gym at the Hyatt Key West downtown.

Activities: not many activities on site for a timeshare – mostly just a welcome breakfast, a 1-hour margarita party, and that’s about it. Would be nice if they added yoga by the pool or water aerobics, water volleyball or something a couple/few times a week.

Location: it’s about 4 miles to the heart of Duval St (Hogs Breath Saloon/Capt Tony's etc). We rented bikes and rode them in to town 1-2 times/day, and it generally took us about 20 min there, and about 30 mins back (the wind always seemed to be blowing against us on the way back). A good way to get some exercise, and if we didn’t feel like riding back at night, we called for a cab w/ a bike rack (just $5/person to get back). It would be nice if the Hyatt had a free shuttle, like the Marriott next door does (the Hyatt shuttle is $5/person each way - about the same price as a cab - and stops running at 10 pm).

Only other negative is that they were doing really loud brick-work construction almost every day of our trip (including weekends) which was not very relaxing when we were sitting on our patio or at the pool.

Overall a nice, relaxing timeshare and wonderful vacation, although if I return to Key West, I think we may try to stay downtown. I'm rating it 4 out of 5 - I’d rate it higher if it had more activities, didn’t have the loud construction going on, and was either closer to town or had a free shuttle.

Room Tip: Ask for a room away from the construction until it's completed

“Great family vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

This is a timeshare location and all units are facing the Gulf of Mexico with water and pool views. The room was clean upon check - in, something we sometimes have an issue with in Key West. The staff was friendly and helpful. We brought a kayak with us and they even help us secure the kayak. We thought they had a kayak rack, but they no longer have the rack. They locked the kayak up for us in a store room. We eventually purchases a bicyle lock and locked it to bike rack. We did use the kayak, it was easily launched from their small beach. It is shallow and perfect for kayaking, they are surronded by mangroves and it was great to kayak in the mornings.

They also have a dock and our son went fishing several times right from the dock. Several people caught snapper from the dock and the fishing seemed decent. There is also a Tiki Hut with water sport rentals and also a bar with food. You can also store, dock and launch a small boat. The hotel does have trailer parking for small to mid-sized boats. It did not appear to have any specific policy for docking of boats.

The room was a 1100 square foot, 2 bedrrom, 2 bath unit. It had an enclosed balcony that was very pleasant to have breakfast and to enjoy reading a book.

I was missing a few items in the kitchen, a non-stick frying pan and then a deep baking dish for a turkey. They front desk brought all items to our room with a quick phone call. This is a self catering location, they did a mid-week clean with a towel and sheet change. They do have daily housekeeping for a fee, but it is really not needed.

The only thing I wish they had on site is a work out room. You can use the one at the Hyatt hotel downtown, but it also is very small and not really worth the trouble of going down there. We did not have much trouble driving down to Duval or to the marina for dinner or excursions. You can also rent bikes for the day or the entire week. This would also be an accpetable means of travel. They do have a shuttle, but there is a fee involved and we had a car, so we did not use their transportation services.

The units are as pictured and I we will be returning to this property.

Room Tip: All the rooms would be about the same.

This is a lovely facility. Clean, well maintained, and the staff was great. The only problem I had with this facility was the location. Really would have preferred something closer to Duval St. It is definitely a long walk to anyplace - but did find Key West easy to get around with a vehicle, so it wasn't a major issue. I expect at busier times of the year, parking would be an issue.

Room Tip: Really couldn't compare with other room locations, but ours was wonderful. Looked out over the...
