We're Hyatt timeshare owners at another property and went here for four nights in June to get out of the Texas heat. What a great place! The 2BR condo was clean, very well appointed and comfortable with a fireplace, nice furniture, good kitchen and bathroom.
The staff was friendly and helpful, the property is across the parking lot from the Hyatt Hotel Resort, which has a small, clean and not smoky casino and some restaurants. There are also a couple of other nice restaurants within walking distance, plus a number of other good places to eat in Incline Village. We were delighted they were all indigenous to Tahoe...there were no chain eateries on the North Shore at Incline. Mofo's Pizza was great, Alaska Fish Co., and Austin's were three we liked. Prices were reasonable, and there's a great grocery store close, too.
It was our first trip to Tahoe and we think it is God's finest work. It's a 71 mile drive around the lake, and it takes about three hours because you're stopping to take pictures every 15 minutes because its so beautiful.
Day trips would be to the South Shore, which is much more commercialized with big casinos and shows and restaurants and shopping centers. We also went to a mining town about an hour away and rode an old mine train and did some shopping. Incline Village is much more convenient to get to than the South Shore...you fly into Reno and its about a 45 minute drive up the mountain road...very comfortable and beautiful scenery.
One reviewer said the property has no lake view, but guests have use of all the Hyatt amenties, which include a private beach on the other side of the hotel thats less than a five minute walk. Also if you're a golfer, the courses are beautiful with specials and twilight rates. We are taking another trip this summer and extending it to a week and chose Tahoe over Carmel (partly because its easier to get reservations and a bit less expensive). I'd recommend this place highly for some quality time with your spouse and family.
